The #1 threat is still bears:

Bears killed and ate a monkey in a Dutch zoo in front of horrified visitors, witnesses and the zoo said Monday. In the incident Sunday at the Beekse Bergen Safari Park, several Sloth bears chased the Barbary macaque into an electric fence, where it was stunned.

It recovered and fled onto a wooden structure, where one bear pursued and mauled it to death.

The park confirmed the killing in a statement, saying: "In an area where Sloth bears, great apes and Barbary macaques have coexisted peacefully for a long time, the harmony was temporarily disturbed during opening hours on Sunday."

Ignoring attempts by keepers to distract it, the bear climbed onto a horizontal pole, and, standing stretched on two legs, "used its sharp canines to pull the macaque, which was shrieking and resisting, from its perch."

The bear then brought the animal to a concrete den, where three bears ate it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And lo, the stress-induced migraine has come upon me.

I'm required to deal with a fair amount of volatile situations because I don't lose my cool. Well, up to a point, it's more water off this duck's back than for any of my co-workers. And beyond that point, it's just that I don't show it when people are being frustratingly clueless. Post-concussion, that hurts.

Colbert will be on that bear story like brown on organic rice!

Speaking of such things, was it just me, or did the "cranky old guy on the street" actor on The Daily Show last night quite look like what you'd expect Stewart's father to look like?

Well, bears are Godless killing machines, after all.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm calling a Good News alert.

Tell me your good news. Even if it's just a very yummy lunch. Need to hear about happiness.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Umm...

I have a pony, and a mini-robot, and a teeny tiny devil duck within easy reach.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm leaving work early to meet with my mortgage broker. (no idea yet if that's good news or bad news, but it's something! and it's undeniably leaving work early.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I didn't have to talk to my idiot project lady today.
