Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Republicans in disarray!

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

One way or another, he’s a liar.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

    @Xenos: Regardez ici. Tournez les trois cadrans vers la gauche et tournez le cadran droit à 100 ou 200. Utilisez le bouton “Alt” avec le number pad et les nombres dans la table pour faire les accents.

    Pour “à” j’ai utilisé “Alt+0224”
    Pour “é” j’ai utilisé “Alt+0233”
    Etc.

    Okay this is extremely weird.

    Usually I log in to Balloon Juice from France, and it’s in English. Now I come back to the States for a week, and Balloon Juice is in French.

    You’re just trying to mess with my head, I know it.

    @burnspbesq: And now, there’s another open thread just opened despite this one having only nine comments and being opened two hours ago.

    It’s all crazy I tells ya, crazy.

    I’m afraid that might be partly my fault. I got in the first comment on that second thread (this one too, but who’s counting?) and sort of hijacked it immediately.

    But sooner or later, all threads become open threads, all conversations go off on tangents, and the “O/T” disclaimer becomes nothing more than a conventional nicety.

    ‘Swhy I keep coming here.

    Oh, sorry. Bill E Pilgrim was talking about an actual Open Thread. I hadn’t seen it when I posted and thought he was talking about the France Update thread which so quickly became Open. Apologies for making it All About Me.
