Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

… among the most cringeworthy communications in the history of the alphabet!

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

As long as McCarthy is Speaker, the House will never be in order.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Let there be snark.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

    When I was a wee girl, I had a teacher who turned me on to this poem. It has been on my mind a lot lately, and though it was written nearly 50 years ago (1961?) it has renewed meaning, sadly. Yeah, I’m a child of the first nuclear age.

    Advice to a Prophet
    by Richard Wilbur

    When you come, as you soon must, to the streets of our city,
    Mad-eyed from stating the obvious,
    Not proclaiming our fall but begging us
    In God’s name to have self-pity,

    Spare us all word of the weapons, their force and range,
    The long numbers that rocket the mind;
    Our slow, unreckoning hearts will be left behind,
    Unable to fear what is too strange.

    Nor shall you scare us with talk of the death of the race.
    How should we dream of this place without us?–
    The sun mere fire, the leaves untroubled about us,
    A stone look on the stone’s face?

    Speak of the world’s own change. Though we cannot conceive
    Of an undreamt thing, we know to our cost
    How the dreamt cloud crumbles, the vines are blackened by frost,
    How the view alters. We could believe,

    If you told us so, that the white-tailed deer will slip
    Into perfect shade, grown perfectly shy,
    The lark avoid the reaches of our eye,
    The jack-pine lose its knuckled grip

    On the cold ledge, and every torrent burn
    As Xanthus once, its gliding trout
    Stunned in a twinkling. What should we be without
    The dolphin’s arc, the dove’s return,

    These things in which we have seen ourselves and spoken?
    Ask us, prophet, how we shall call
    Our natures forth when that live tongue is all
    Dispelled, that glass obscured or broken

    In which we have said the rose of our love and the clean
    Horse of our courage, in which beheld
    The singing locust of the soul unshelled,
    And all we mean or wish to mean.

    Ask us, ask us whether with the worldless rose
    Our hearts shall fail us; come demanding
    Whether there shall be lofty or long standing
    When the bronze annals of the oak-tree close.

    So glad football is back, and it looks like the Niners might actually field a real team this year.

    Oh yeah…

    And nerf warlocks. Fear. Fear. Fear. Spell lock. Skill coil.

    Get your trinket and ln2peeveepee

    Oh, my Brownies where have you gone
    My heart’s so sad and forlorn
    You haven’t been the same
    since coming home, from Baltimore

    Oh, my Brownies, where have you gone
    I fear your lost for evermore
    and will never be found
    I long for the kids in the Dogpound.

    But we’ll always have the 70’s
    When Franco, Lynn and Terry came to town
    And you broke bones with Lambert and Ham
    and every game was won or lost
    by less than a touchdown

    Oh, my Brownies, I miss you so

    If Lovie Smith doesn’t bench Grossman for the 2nd half, then it’s official–he’s got money on SD. There’s just no excuse to start your 3rd best QB when he’s openly trying to lose the game.

    PvP trinkets can’t save you from warlocks. Pretty much nothing can. The obvious solution? Roll a warlock.

    So TCU can suck it and bow to the ever-awesome-ass-kicking of the UT Longhorns. This game would have been way more epic to watch except for the fact that A&M DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO JUST UP AND WIN A FOOTBALL GAME!

    OMG! OT x3 WTF! Fresno State wasn’t even a ranked team.

    That said, it was a freak’n good weekend.

    In most cases this is the correct answer, but IIRC you play a mage, so you’re basically toast.

    17/0/44 or 0/7/54 makes the odds a little better. But I only spec that on weekends.
