‘Good Morning America’ Will Feature Disgraced Country Singer Morgan Wallen In Michael Strahan Sit-Down

ABC News show Good Morning America is fast becoming the confessional booth for celebrity image rehab. But it’s not guaranteed that you’ll get absolution.

In the latest edition, country singer Morgan Wallen plans a sit-down on Thursday morning with GMA co-host Michael Strahan. The discussion will be Wallen’s first since he was caught on video uttering a racial slur, resulting in severe career downsizing on several fronts.

(Bold mine)

That’s the most delightfully euphemistic phrase I’ve heard in a long, long time.

Chimps are such racists

Albino chimp baby murdered by its elders days after rare sighting



A 19-year-old female chimp, which the researchers referred to as "UP," was known to be pregnant in January 2018, and on July 15 of that same year, she was seen carrying a "white" infant, later confirmed to be a male. Judging by the infant's size and the last recorded sighting of UP, the team estimated that the albino newborn was about 2- to 2-and-a-half weeks old.

Later on July 15, a pair of adult chimps encountered UP and the albino infant and began producing "alarm hoos and waa barks," sounds that chimps often make when facing potentially dangerous animals, like snakes and bush pigs, the authors wrote. Another male chimp heard these hoos and barks, as well as UP screaming, and rushed into the area; he struck UP before clambering up a tree and starting to produce alarm hoos and waa barks, as well. 

Over the next few minutes, several more adult chimps entered the area and joined in the ruckus. But a few adult chimps remained quiet and simply watched UP and the infant attentively; one calm individual even approached and reached out to UP with its hand. At some point, UP rushed up a tree, with the infant clinging to her chest, and stayed there for some time before climbing down and ducking from sight inside a dense thicket. Researchers spotted her and the infant a few more times that morning. On one occasion, an adult male let out a "tantrum scream on encountering (likely unexpectedly) UP and the baby at a close distance."

Just days later, on July 19, the young chimp met his end. 

In the early morning, field assistant Bosco Chandia of the Budongo Conservation Field Station and researcher Maël Leroux, who holds positions with the field station and University of Zürich, came upon a large group of chimps erupting in a chorus of hoos, waa barks and screams. Sounds of physical aggression and the screams of an infant drifted from the thicket, but the team could not see the individual chimps involved in the encounter.

Soon, a male known as "HW" emerged from the vegetation, clutching the albino infant to his chest. The infant's left arm was missing, and the wound appeared fresh. Six adult chimps and three younger chimps of various ages followed HW, and the researchers also spotted UP in the throng. All were producing waa barks at HW as he climbed a tree, infant in hand, and started "biting the fingers, legs and the right ear of the infant." At this point, UP was chased from the party by one of the adult males.

A few minutes later, an adult female took the infant from HW and began biting its limbs and head while other chimps sniffed the body. The female then "bit the infant's head repeatedly, apparently causing its death, as the infant remained silent and stopped moving after the bite," the authors wrote.

No news there....

The wing nut right is now proposing a 3/5ths compromise where parents own the votes of their minor children. A self own on multiple levels. The first being right on its face…the second related to their culture war fears. They believe that they’re being out-bred and replaced in their own country. What will giving additional parent controlled votes to the invaders accomplish….in their minds?

Also, researchers have documented a war between chimps and gorillas over resources. It had been noticed by primate researchers before, but, for whatever reason, the scholarly consensus wanted to insist that other primates just don’t do that.

That’ll be tricky to accomplish. If it is agreed that children have votes that can be cast by proxy, then they can’t be denied other rights and obligations of citizenship, such as entering into contracts, marrying, and military service.

Can - open. Worms - everywhere.

More fun news. Big ag is having a bumper year. Economists wonder how long the scarcity related boom will last. Meanwhile, the most profitable use for productive land anywhere in the us is a trailer park.

Increasing production…which very much could be done, drives down the profiteering margins, you see. Predatory housing arrangements are a better use of land.

We’re not just indecent, we’re sick.
