Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Not all heroes wear capes.

The revolution will be supervised.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

This really is a full service blog.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL

    There’s a way to almost guarantee an amazing result that I’ll share if you want to know.

    lie?

    I’ve found that if your plane does a loop, you’re going to lose a lot of your end distance. My current record is 95.818.

    I’ve upped it to 69.21, but still can’t break out. I’m hitting the window more frequently, but lately I’ve been having trouble going past 40 meters or so.

    114.429!

    Sadly, only world rank 7001.

    Almost every throw of mine above 113m is ranked World #7001. Must be a glitch.

    EEEL – first of all, you’re a bastard for doing so well.

    Secondly, it could be that 7000 people got the same distance you did, and so they just rank them at random, instead of having a 7000-way tie for first.

    Ok.

    Grab the plane. Move it to the upper left corner and then let the mouse go out of the window.

    Staying outside the window, move the cursor to the right side of the window and then move it back in about 1/3 to halfway up on the right side.

    Simple huh.

    Now how in the HELL did you think to do that?

    Okay, only 70m so far, but on a laptop! No separate mouse.

    BTW, once you get tired of throwing the plane yet still have more work to avoid, you could try George. Or Hillary. While the latter might be safe for work, not sure about your eyes.

    I used to like you–before I hated you. The terrorists win! My dog ate my homework. And … you won’t respect us in the morning, will you?

    AAaiiyyeeeee! I’m melting.

    144 and change on that Xbox version. If you look at the way they slope the ground at that point, anything over 140 will come down to a game of inches.

    sorry but have to share The chinese put ghb in toys now

    Saw that, but it’s only harmful if kids put the little beads in their mouth and some of the coating dissolves. Little kids never put things in their mouth, right?

    Who needs regulation, inspection or oversight? If kids go into a coma after putting one of these toys in their mouth or licking one then their parents won’t be buying them more toys, so the manufacturer’s will take note of the reduction of revenue and be more careful. Problem solved, right?

    I nominate this for the “Free Hand of the Market” award.

    And OH…I suck at that airplane throw thing. Mine went XX meters. I’m redacting the quantified number in the interest of National Security.

    I hate things like this, I’m going to obsess over it for the rest of the day. 37m so far….

    There was an old Mac game in the System 7 days that was like this.

    every one of these little games has a sweet spot, if you start with that knowledge it’s just a matter of finding it. It’s like there is always one spot in a web or desktop based bowling game that will let you get a strike every time, it’s a given and just needs to be found.

    For example go to candystand.com and play the Hockey game, slapshot shootout or something like that, once you play with it for a while you will find that if puck placement and timing and the shot are just right you score every time, and this is repeatable and even predictible.

    It’s like that little game where you have three houses and have to hook up the utilities without crossing the lines — there’s a way around it, but it’s tricky to find.
