We've got some in our neighborhood I'd love to identify. Good and LOUD owls. I'd imagine they are whoppers.

Thanks for the article.

Start a thread in the "environmental" room about animals we'll likely be wiping out by the end of the century and most of the replies are us yuckin' it up, slapping each other on the back about how to cook and eat the birds!

It's called gallows humour. People do it to ease the unbearable psychological pain of intolerable knowledge.

believe it or not.

Still it's a little sick to me when people actively raping the planet just giggle, between their bacon-munching, about the raping of the planet.

But seriously, Laugh Instead of Cry y'all!!

I also joke about eating long pig after the Great Collapse.
With fava beans and a nice Chianti.

I'm mortified that our inappropriate levity does not meet with your approval.

like my approval matters. like anyone's does.

When your species is the latest natural disaster causing a mass-extinction on an interesting little rock hurling 1,000 miles per hour through space you might as well just wallow in it, laffing!


Too bad a few of us care so much about this thing, har-de-har, "your approval "

You get it by going off on us for joking.

It seems like a fair trade - we all get what we need out of the deal.

Nobody here gets out alive. Not us, not the animals.
