Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

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

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

No one could have predicted…

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

True, this is pandering. But I like the Louis Wain influence around the 0:34 mark…

Some thirty years ago, there was a cat fancier in Ohio who wanted to refine, and register, a line of polydactyl Maine coons that would breed true. Since the world remains in the hands of us hairless primates, I have to assume her experiment remains a work in progress.

    There are reports that three of Gaddafi’s private planes (he has 5 apparently) have left Lybia for Cairo, Athens and Vienna respectively. No indication of who is on board though.

    I love this commercial. The cat-thumb on the door latch truly is the beginning of the end for humanity, although I wouldn’t mind if my fur-child learned to use a nail file instead of the bedroom chair for his claw maintenance.

    Absolutely great. I like the cat reading The Art of Military Strategy. Heh, they will truly become our overlords once they get opposable thumbs. Cole better watch out.

    from the wiki

    Whereas he had been a mild-mannered and trusting man, he became hostile and suspicious, particularly towards his sisters. He claimed that the flickering of the cinema screen had robbed the electricity from their brains. He began wandering the streets at night, rearranging furniture within the house, and spent long periods locked in his room writing incoherently

    this man would have pwned the internets on so many levels. kinda makes you wonder who else in history should have had an internets. and, for those who are so inclined, who shouldn’t have.

    I knew Morris the cat and his owners back in the day. I wonder if this kitty is as stoned?

    Thank you for showing us this ad. It is the funniest commercial I have seen in a long, long time.

    I saw this at the gym on Monday and thought “People at Balloon-Juice would like this.” And behold, it is true.

    England ‘healthier than the US’ (BBC)

    Public health experts suggested more generous holiday entitlements and more favourable working conditions in the UK might also play a part.

    A spokesperson from the Department of Health said: “The NHS offers care free to all at the point of use and based on need.

    “Whilst in some areas our outcomes may be favourable compared with those in the US, we are still clear that we have a long way to go before we achieve outcomes comparable with the best performing health systems.

    “That is exactly why we are modernising the NHS.”

    Cradle to the grave, free healthcare, that costs less in terms of GDP, might be a good way for the US to shrink it’s deficit.

    @Jack Bauer:

    “That is exactly why we are modernising the NHS.”

    Unfortunately, they’re cutting it to the bone and part-privatizing it.

    A survey of 800 family doctors, by the Nuffield Trust health thinktank, found that 71% expect the switch to GP-led commissioning of healthcare will force new consortiums of doctors to focus on controlling their costs, which will lead to growing restrictions on treatments the NHS can provide, limit the number and type of procedures patients can have, and offer less choice.

    Sound familiar? Fucking Tories.

    Polydactyl cats are thriving in central upstate New York. It’s frankly more surprising to meet a cat there that does NOT have seven toes on one paw.

    I once had a cat who would remind me that she wanted to be fed by grabbing (paw-and-thumb) the cuff of my pant leg and tugging on it. Kinda scary, in retrospect.

    A folk singer of my acquaintance breeds cats for intelligence as well as polydactyly. There is (naturally) a song about it, which, alas, does not appear to be online: “Cats With Thumbs,” sung to the tune of “Cows With Guns.”

    Tim Curry voiceover combined with brilliant concept.

    (I’m sure they got the idea from the Cheezburger site, which has cats lamenting their lack of opposable thumbs as an ongoing theme.)
