Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

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

In my day, never was longer.

Giving up is unforgivable.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

All hail the time of the bunny!

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Looks like there will be no pictures from the impromptu San Francisco BJ meet-up until DougJ has a chance to recover from the hangover get back to his desktop. And there was no Thursday Night Menu this week, because Bad Horse’s Filly has been too busy to put one together. So you’re stuck with my pawky sense of humor, and this entertained me, because I found it more catchy than any of the original songs…

John, I hope you’re feeling better… okay, Day Two, settle for “feeling less than completely horrible and hurting in places you didn’t even know you had”. And that Lily has managed to express her gratitude for your chivalry without trying to climb onto the sling supporting your poor shattered shoulder… more than once.

And while we’re counting our blessings, however meagre, let us include the fact that we are not the daughter of Bible Spice. People joke about being “raised by wolves”, but wolves at least show a consistent bias towards their offsprings’ best interests. Gods know I did some amazingly stupid and mock-worthy things when I was 19, but fortunately for me that was post-Roe and pre-cell-cameras, and none of the surviving witnesses have a financial interest in discussing what little they might remember.

    Am I the only one here? That’s ok. I can just natter at myself until someone else shows up. I’m digging the video, Anne Laurie–and I don’t even know the originals. Maybe that actually enhances my listening experience.

    Thanks for the link to BP’s life story. I agree with the analysis–what a sad way to make ends meet, but she is being very well compensated for telling her sob story over and over again. (Fighting the urge to ask how this makes her anything other than a well-paid ho, guess I didn’t fight it hard enough).

    Yeah, unfortunately I can’t linger. Have an earlier than usual meeting for which I still need to do a bit of prep, so have to get my ass in gear.

    I did take a few minutes to read that BP article and found my reactions toggling madly between pity and contempt. Neither is an emotion I especially wanted to start the day with

    That is an awesome remix.

    I’m sending it to my daughter (13). She’ll love it. I might get a few daddy points for it.

    thanks!
