Another reason why the EU is a good thing. Turkey desperately wants to join, but the EU won’t let it until it stops doing things like this. I have a feeling one day events like this won’t happen anymore in Turkey, and it will likely be due to the E.U.

This is a river otter. Completely different from sea otter, and, in my opinion, far, far cuter anyway.

Yes, they are. Unfortunately there is a lot of sea mammal-on-sea mammal violence. It creates a kind of dissonance that the animals whose type of intelligence we associate closely with empathy and cooperative group thinking are also sometimes very aggressive.

Oh, my bad. I see you. Otters are still rapists though.

I think it’s a vicious rumor started out of jealousy by the ferrets.

Yes, that is what I just said. Seals are not dolphins.

They don’t actually...what are you talking about? There have been some accounts of sea otters and juvenile seals and sea lions attacking one another. For the most part sea otters are littoral, dolphins pelagic. Dolphins at birth are already much larger than the largest adult sea otter.

This exemplifies the spirit of nom nom nom. I have tears in my eyes.

His expression is one of such, ahem, otter delight.

Thanks for the headsup!! What a weird way to do things around here.

this with your UN is A+

As a naturalized citizen myself, I would like to say that when I attended the formal swearing-in naturalization ceremony (along with about 1,000 other fellow Americans) I was also given one of those tiny American flags depicted in the photo, to wave about at the end.

A happy story today, yaaaaaaay!

I’ve been in the gray for years and can’t figure how to get out.

hahaha I’m gong to tell myself that everytime my comments sit in the greys.

yup. I went to neverland 3 times in high school (my boarding school was across the street, his groundskeepers would invite us over once a year.) I never saw or met Michael Jackson while over there, but good lord did it give off an extremely creepy vibe. Weird statues of children and an extremely creepy painting/mural…

Sweet fuck. Michael Jackson was truly a sick shit of a person.

I wanna be her when I grow up.

Honestly though, after years of getting the rug pulled out from us in the most heart-wrenching ways, I'll gladly welcome a little predictability.

Lady Mormont is the baddest little bitch and I love her.
