We’re Back, Baby!

Leave a reply

Yep. The Panda cam is BACK!

And not a moment too soon. The first week of felon in Chief’s 2nd Reign of Terrorism was pretty rough and I wish I had more hope that the forces of compassion and fairness will prevail.

But we will do what we can, when we can. It’s okay to take a break (and watch the panda cam!) when you need to. Even small things have impact. I have my US Senator’s and House rep bookmarked, so I can easily send an email. Some people like to make phone calls. There are scripts out there to make it easier, but I kind have developed phone phobia, so emails are my drug of choice. My favorite source for actions is Chop Wood, Carry Water on Substack. Even one email a week will add up.

Okay, Enough serious stuff. Let’s check in on the new Panda Cam!

I guess the new panda cam hours of operation are going to take some getting used to.

Bob T is it “panda cam” or “Pandacam” Panda

It’s Been Eight Years…

10 Replies

Eight years since Mehitabel left this earth
Eight years since F45 first came to power
Eight years since I hoped it would not be as bad as I was afraid it would be
Eight years since I was wrong…it was worse.

Five years since we were swept away by what became a worldwide pamdemic
Five years since we had to mobilize to get someone in the WH who is an adult, and knew how to get things accomplished

Four years since we started coming out of the terrible pandemic
Four years since we witnessed the most horrific attack on our country, perpetrated by American citizens against American citizens, since the civil war
Four years since we thought there was hope that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris could turn us around

Now here we are again. It will be worse still. Apparently F45 DID learn his lesson. Just not in the way we wished he would. Courage! Now is not the time to give up.

Eight years since Mehitabel left us (but her spirit lives on on the Nooz desk)

Sorry I’m “late”
Mehitabel in her role as supervisor

I can’t say I blame her. I didn’t want to live with F45 as the Wanker in Chief, either.

Thanks for indulging my annual remembrance of the late, great Mehitabel. A cat among cats. We’ll be back to celebrate the return of the Panda Cam on Thursday!

More From the (Red Panda) Resistance

2 Replies

There is need for all kinds of resistance these days, and it’s good to see that some daring red pandas have joined in to resist the onslaught of fascism that is washing up on our shores. All I can say is that if it looks like a Nazi salute, it is almost definitely a Nazi salute.

Ever since the days of Rusty’s audacious escape in DC, he has been an icon of resistance for red pandas everywhere. (Pinky: he can’t be an icon! I am da only icon around here!) A recent story of red pandas going rogue crossed my screen regaling us with tales of daring from a Swiss zoo!

Over the fence and away we go!

Meanwhile back in DC, we have received word here at Panda Chronicles Central, that the DC PandaCam is about to go live! I hope someone has warned Frank and Mikey! It would be VERY embarrassing is they were to get caught on the cam in the Panda House.

Pandas Will Resist!
Bob T we shall overcome Panda

Alas, the Day We Have Been Dreading Approaches

4 Replies

Once again, I have not gotten the ‘toon for today done, but it will be ready for Tuesday. As is now my new practice, when other work (or excessive naps) gets in the way of me finishing the days ‘toon in time to get it posted, I will dive into the archives and find a few relevant ‘toons to bridge the gap till next time.

And boy do we have relevant ‘toons!

Since HWMNBN (aka F45*) is about to lie about upholding the oath to the Constitution again, I thought I’d share a few ‘toons from January of 2017. It’s gonna be a rough ride ahead. We can’t afford to check out entirely (as much as I would like to,) but we do need to be gentle with ourselves and engage in things that make us happy. I worked most of the day in my studio, and then got close to an hour in my garden before it started getting dark around 5. This is definitely an improvement over getting dark at 3:30.

So, without further ado, let’s ride the armored car down memory lane, as we remember Mitten’s first reign of terror!

Can I open my eyes yet?
Whats a protest without pandas?
Hey, save some cuppycakes for me!

Just a reminder to turn off your TV and internet on Monday, the 20th, to protest F45’s return to the WH. Nothing will piss him off more than seeing the terrible TV ratings, and to have the streets practically empty.

Are all these paper clips mine?

The more things change, the more they stay the same. But I hope the following photograph from the 2017 Women’s March held in Langley gives you a bit of hope. Despite the fact that many people (I think there were 4 buses full) went into Seattle for the much bigger march, lots of people came out on that sunny Saturday to stand against F45.

*F45 stands for Felon 45

Women’s March, Langley edition! There were many more people already around the corner, and more behind us. Let’s capture some of that hope for our future. We can at least go down swinging.

We MUST Panda On!

I Don’t Know About You, But I Sure Feel Endangered!

I finally watched the movie “Cocaine Bear” and while I can’t say it was a great movie, It was…um…interesting, and the bears won. It was a little grizzly (ha ha ha…see what I did there?) but there were some great cameo appearances by a couple of Pookies, and there were certainly some people who got what they deserved, although there were some other people who did NOT deserve what transpired.

Frank and Mikey would like you to know that it absolutely wasn’t them, but they are not so sure that it wasn’t their sister Josie. She’s not telling.

But what does Cocaine Bear have to do with today’s ‘toon? Well, there was some very important Bear NooZ this week…

As we get closer to “D” day, I am more worried and depressed than ever. Frank and Mikey always cheer me up a little and I hope they’ll make you feel better too. Pretty sure they are more qualified than 99.9% of F45’s cabinet picks.

Be the Bear, Everyone!

Now look what you’ve done! It’s 2025! I’m sure I could have stopped it if I had just stayed up all night. Expect non-stop dumpster fires (Literally!)

I do wish everyone a “Happy” New Year.

Once again there is a tragic bear story* in the NooZ.

Fortunately, Frank and Mikey (an’ Pookie!!!!) are here to tell you the NooZ and what’s important to bears!

More next week, including an encore presentation of The Twelve Days of CrispMoss, starring Pinky!

What is the ghost of who, up until now, was the most criminal president in US history supposed to do with our current state of affairs?

Sigh…cancer on the presidency, indeed.

I don’t know..maybe it’s an option?

NooZFlash! The GQP Continue to be Soulless A**holes

4 Replies

Okay, that’s not really a NoozFlash. They are ALWAYS a**holes! I guess if you can do something well, you feel encouraged to do it all the time. I mean…if you’re good at lying and being a racist, I guess you might think it’s a good reason to continue doing it.

Meanwhile, charges have been filed against VD and Donny in Springfield Ohio for their lies comments against the Haitian community there. Fortunately, we have reports that Miss Sassy is alive and well.

Of course ZooNooZ has the interview.

We’ll be reminding you in each post that several of states that could be in play are continuing to purge voters from their rolls. Please check your voter registration ASAP and vote as soon as you are able! The GQP is counting on using dirty tricks to suppress the vote wherever they can, since they definitely can’t win on policy.

And for my friends in the path of Hurricane Helene, one of the things Project 2025 wants to do is disband or privatize NOAA. We all rely on up to date, accurate weather reports, but not having that information when a hurricane or tornado is heading your way, is a matter of life and death.

Don’t let TFG endanger the country on multiple fronts. VOTE!

Be the Bear,
Bob T voting blue all the way Panda
