When Mom says it’s spa day, you suffer through the indignity and let the groomers do their thing. When this black lab saw that the groomers were all ducks, she may have had second thoughts, but she sat still like a good girl and let them do their work. @kerriannemerald The sweetest girl #ducksoftiktok #blacklab #cutedog #ducksoftiktok ♬ Little Things – Adrián Berenguer We’re not sure why the ducks are grooming this black lab, but it appears to be something the dog is familiar with. The eclectic grooming team has two drakes, a mallard, and two domestic ducks. The original poster has a second grooming video with a yellow lab at the spa with the same crew. @kerriannemerald My gentle yellow boy #yellowlabsoftiktok #ducksoftiktok #oneofthesethingsisnotliketheother ♬ One of These Things – The Richard Wolfe Children’s Chorus In the animal world, grooming is standard for a “family.” Based on that premise, the labs and the ducks probably live together as a family. They are comfortable with one another’s company. Since the account is relatively new, perhaps we can discover more in the future. Hopefully, we will see more of these gentle pups. They are too cool on a spa day. Image from TikTok. We know that many dogs have duck friends. We introduced you to Santi, a golden retriever who is “nanny” to ducks and chickens on his homestead. Not only does Santi make friends with all the animals, but he helps nurture and raise them. He even takes the ducks for walks through the woods and teaches them to play ding-dong-ditch. We’re not sure Santi taught them that, but how else could they have learned? Whether you have a black lab, yellow lab, golden retriever, or a plain old Heinz-57 mutt, you should consider getting your dog some pet ducks. They’re fun to play with, easy to care for, and they help groom your dogs. Please share if you smiled. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Urge Overkill is an American alternative rock band formed in Chicago, Illinois, in 1984 by Nash Kato (vocals, guitar) and Eddie “King” Roeser (vocals, bass, guitar). The band initially gained attention in the late 1980s and early 1990s with their unique blend of alternative rock, power pop, and a tongue-in-cheek glam rock aesthetic. Their early work was characterized by a raw, garage rock sound, as evident on their debut album Jesus Urge Superstar (1989) and its follow-up, Americruiser (1990), both released on the independent label Touch and Go Records. Over the years, they released seven studio albums: Jesus Urge Superstar The post Complete List Of Urge Overkill Albums And Songs appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Even battle-hardened conservatives can find it shocking when Democrat-boosting reporters fail to identify Kamala Harris as a “liberal” or a “progressive” or even, dare one say it, a “left-wing radical.” In a new Media Research Center study of ABC’s “World News Tonight,” since Harris was anointed in a backroom as President Joe Biden’s replacement on July 21, Rich Noyes discovered ABC’s evening-news crew has never applied an ideological label to her. In Harris’ first week as the nominee, CBS cited her “liberal voting record,” and NBC reported she was a “self-described progressive prosecutor.” But through Sept. 4, ABC’s correspondents never called Harris either a “liberal” or a “progressive.” Instead, eight stories included clips of Republicans (usually Donald Trump) attacking Harris’ liberal record. The ABC team also never criticized Harris’ handling of top issues like painful inflation or illegal immigration. One way that liberal journalists put a protective bubble around their candidate is to pretend she’s somehow above ideology. They only suggest that this is an attack coming from Trump and JD Vance, and therefore, it’s just negative advertising, not news. On a debate-preview edition of “The NPR Politics Podcast,” three NPR journalists talked for 18 minutes and barely touched on the labels. Near the end, political analyst Domenico Montanaro typically combined it with Trump: “Trump has sort of started to settle on a message against Harris … that she’s inauthentic, weak, and too liberal.” The only other label was White House reporter Asma Khalid describing the aftermath of the Trump-Biden debate in June: “There was some criticism, particularly from folks on the Left, that the moderators, CNN, did not fact-check the candidates in real time, and they thought that that was to Biden’s detriment.” But that’s not labeling Harris. On debate day, NPR’s “Morning Edition” aired a three-and-a-half-minute story titled “Trump likes to attack Harris’ native California. Its politicians say bring it on.” Once again, we’re told Trump unfairly defines Harris and San Francisco. San Francisco-based reporter Marisa Lagos began: “Trump didn’t mince words at the Economic Club of New York last week, making false claims about Harris and her record.” Trump called her a “Marxist” who nearly destroyed San Francisco. But nowhere in this story is there a “liberal” or “progressive” or “radical.” But there are two references to “conservative media.” Lagos oozed: “After years of being bashed in conservative media and politics, California politicians are on the offensive this election cycle.” Lagos interviewed San Francisco Mayor London Breed, Sen. Laphonza Butler, and Gov. Gavin Newsom, and none of these lefties are described ideologically. But Newsom fights back in “conservative media.” In addition, there were two Harris sound bites from her convention speech. We’re told Harris rarely talks about San Francisco or her birthplace in the “East Bay.” That’s Lagos and NPR evading the fact that Harris was born and raised in the radical hotbed of Berkeley, Calif. Instead, they aired audio of Harris saying she grew up in a community based on “kindness, respect, and compassion.” They think that’s synonymous with liberalism. On the same show, NPR anchor George “A” Martinez interviewed former RNC operative Doug Heye for four minutes, but there were no labels for Harris, because the only topic was how Trump needed to avoid being rude or “personal” to the female candidate. Harris-backing reporters are going to pretend she is somehow above ideology, as if she’s a guru like Oprah or how Michelle Obama presents herself. They’re not holding Harris accountable for anything that went wrong under Biden or for her radical stands before she was vice president.

In the ABC debate, he did more to raise doubts about himself than about her.

In the face of death, pointless laughter at everything.
