Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

In my day, never was longer.

Republicans do not trust women.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

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

How stupid are these people?

This chaos was totally avoidable.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Gawker (Gizmodo) told me about this, and later let me know that it did indeed reach Walter C. May’s girlfriend…. virally. Comments seem to be split between snark about linking ‘viral’ and ‘girlfriend’, and the suspicion that the whole thing is just another marketing ploy. As an Old Person, the thought of being tracked-via-proxy seems a little more Stalker than Romantic, but on the other hand, it’s a pleasant little ditty, isn’t it?

    Morning, Anne!
    I think I heard of this yesterday. Yeah, there are other things going on in the world besides the Wikileaks thing.
    I get the impression it’s a low level marketing ploy for the band/songwriter. If somebody wanted to get a digital file to someone else, wouldn’t one just email it? Still, it’s clever.

    I dunno about creepy — the article left me with the impression that she would have welcomed this message whether or not he had sent it to her directly, and that the guy was just having fun with the viral aspect as a gimmick. It does show how easily stuff can spread on the intertubes, though (especially when it has a good beat and you can dance to it).

    If someone went through all that trouble for me – are you kidding? Epic win! It’ll be a great story to tell the grandkids.

    @jeffreyw:

    Your turducken pot pie would have made me her get nekkid for you. Also, too.

    A presenter on Radio Four burbled this morning that Julian Assange is apparently believed to be hiding out somewhere in the “Birmingham area”.

    Now I understand why the cops are out and about baiting bear traps with corporate hard drives in my neighborhood.

    @TheMightyTrowel:

    My vote is with creepy and I’m under 30.

    I am just over 30 and I also agree: creepy.

    Oh god. Haven’t any of you seen the movie “Labyrinth”, of which this is a blatant ripoff.

    Are pet threads on hiatus?

    Don’t need one every single day, but it’s rather nice to see the beloved dog and cat faces a few times a week.

    There will be pet posts. Don’t have so many we can enjoy them every day, but I’ve got a few more waiting for the right opportunity…
