Welcome to the weekend. It’s the birthday of Saddam Hussein (1937), Violent J of Insane Clown Posse (1972), and writer Harper Lee (1926). Today in 1996 Whitewater controversy was underway and President Bill Clinton had to testify in his own defense.
For reasons unknown to the gods, it was #OldHeadshotDay on Twitter. This prompted every Hollywood actor out there, normally so shy and self-effacing, to post pictures of themselves. Well, more pictures of themselves. Don’t encourage them.
On Twitter today, we have an Amsterdam traffic jam.

So-called "fairy circles" in the Namibian desert are the result of underground termite activity. pic.twitter.com/9i4lTheaPl

Today in Interspecies love we have capybaras loving on everything.
I love that all animals are friends with capybaras and scientists' best explanation is "they're very social animals," which still doesn't explain why they're CHILL WITH LITERALLY EVERYTHING pic.twitter.com/JMDzkbCGWm

And finally the Obligatory Cat. This one has a unique way of asking for its dinner.

From Poland, Hili is showing her contempt for deities.
A WOODEN GOD
Hili: You are good for claw sharpening.
A: Hili, do not blaspheme.
In Polish:
DREWNIANY BÓG
Hili: Nadajesz się do ostrzenia pazurków.
Ja: Hili, nie bluźnij.
Hat-tip: Blue
Strangely juvenile the happenings of Clinton compared to events today of Trump and his minions. Whitewater such a joke was actually republicans foaming at the mouth.
The cat looks sad. I was hoping the owner would feed her by the end of the film clip. Poor thing.
I know that Hili is scratching the totem, but a believer might think that’s a pose of supplication and not a blasphemous manicure.
I knew a cat that would tip it’s bowl (really a small plate) like that to signal that it was ready to be fed.
“It’s the birthday of Saddam Hussein (1937), Violent J of Insane Clown Posse (1972), and writer Harper Lee (1926).”
Now *that* would have been one crazy joint birthday party!
