Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
How stupid are these people?
Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.
Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.
Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.
And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.
People are weird.
if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.
The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.
Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.
If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.
I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.
The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.
Shut up, hissy kitty!
No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.
The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.
The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.
Democracy cannot function without a free press.
They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.
Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.
“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”
Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.
It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.
I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.
If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

One of my favorite series of all time. Too bad the movie stunk.
If you like Adams, try some of Terry Pratchett’s stuff if you haven’t already. Pratchett lacks the sheer loony brilliance of Adams, but he’s still very funny and Discworld has become a fantasically well-realized universe.

I’ve read this “trilogy” twice. Skip the movie, though. The books will keep you laughing.

I’m reading that now, also, as a matter of fact. My dog-eared pages thus far: 174, 224, 243-244, and 278, which is easily the most applicable to american politics.
I can’t reccommend Terry Pratchatt and Neil Gaiman’s combined effort, Good Omens more highly. Terribly funny book. I’ve also started the Discworld series.
