Today’s #joinindaily theme from Johnny Wills is “Ball Games”
Today’s #joinindaily theme from Johnny Wills is “Ball Games”. Technically it’s a ball, a Kong, and an Everlasting Treat Ball. It was all I could find before my meetings started.

OMG this is cute.
@UzamakiJ I love sea shanty tiktok.
It turns out dignity and democracy won't get right-wing news outlets to retract lies about election fraud but gigantic defamation lawsuits will: https://lawandcrime.com/2020-election/american-thinker-issues-groveling-apology-to-dominion-voting-systems-for-completely-false-election-stealing-stories-with-no-basis-in-fact/
Scientific racism has been with us for centuries. It's enjoying a renaissance today, driven in part by the neophrenologists of the ML world. They are the modern descendants of the caliper-wielding eugenicists of yore.

Spoiler: he can't.
What his system is most likely detecting is certain conventions in poses and expressions that are used in different political subcultures. Resting Karen face, basically.

I know as liberals we love to call out hypocrisy. But most of the time what we call out isn’t that at all.
This frequently complaint about Rand (may she never RIP) is about as sensical as “if you’re a socialist, why don’t you give away all your money?”
@Pale_0ntologist @isaiah_bb Every copy Atlas Shrugged should come with a forward that includes mention that Ayn Rand accepted social security benefits, and assistance from the state even though she referred to such programs as “immoral distribution of wealth”
Technically, it’s a Chuck-It crazy bouncing ball and a puppy-sized Kong, but there’s no need to be pedantic 🙂
Brian Holt Hawthorne Yeah. Everyone with dogs who sees that Kong is like, “OMG! It’s so small!”
Kee Hinckley Digby still has his puppy Kong as well as a full-size one.
Brian Holt Hawthorne it took us a while to get Gabby interested. She doesn’t like peanut butter! But they make a liver spray…
Brilliant Kee Hinckley. Thanks for joining in
Kee Hinckley Digby often doesn’t eat his breakfast in the morning. So, we fill the Kong with his kibble and close the top with a small dog biscuit wedged in. That gives him something to do while we are out. Of course, I just discovered a free Roku channel with Music for your Dogs, that includes photos of dogs and a very, slow, Ken Burns effect.
Brian Holt Hawthorne When we were looking for dogs I was hoping for one that would react to video, so Mollie could talk to it when she’s away for long periods (they even make video treat dispensers). Gabby doesn’t appear to, and of course without being able to hear that wouldn’t likely work anyway.
When we were fostering the chihuahuas, mama Chihuahua loved the dog channels on YouTube. She even tried to chase a squirrel into the bathroom (next room behind the tv).
