Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

Bark louder, little dog.

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

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

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

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

This fight is for everything.

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

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

    Oh, no. Tbogg, my heart hurts. I’ll be holding Rocco and little Stanley tight tonight and thinking of you guys. :-(

    My pet medical drama pales in comparison to TBogg’s (so far. I hope). Fenway is so lovely.

    I saw that last night and my heart just ached for them. Sending good thoughts to the TBoggs and Fenway. I hope they get some good news.

    @R-Jud:
    Hope the news on yours is good too.

    I read that last night. Very sad. Thanks for making this thread, John.

    The Bloomington basenjis are are sending positive vibes (plus mischief, it’s their way), TBogg and Fenway!

    So very sad to watch a beloved companion suffer. Here’s hoping for the very best result possible for Fenway. What a cool name for a pet, if you’re a Boston fan. Other stadiums just don’t offer such a cool opportunity,except maybe Wrigley. I mean, Safeco? Camden? Progressive? Angel is ok I guess, but it reminds me of a bad-tempered chihuahua I knew.

    (I’m glad that Fenway is a dog, me being a rabid fan of a certain AL West team.)

    It’s so hard to watch when your pet goes downhill. And TBogg has had such crappy luck recently. We lost Garp recently, but he was old and fat. Fenway is so young.

    Meanwhile our rescue mutt continues to eat poison ant traps and dead squirrels and never slows down.

    Fuck.
    I saw from a comment over there that he was already exposed to the virus previously – so he has appropriate antibodies? I hope so.
    Best wishes to dog and owner. Maybe if, as some have already said, we simply don’t allow anything bad to happen, it won’t. I hereby forbid anything but full and speedy recovery.

    New post from Tbogg this morning:

    It appears that Fenway has acute prostatitis. We won’t know for sure until the lab results come back next Tuesday, but he has all the signs. He is on different antibiotics designed to penetrate the prostate, had to be pumped full of liquids again today because his temperature had risen to 104.5 (normal for a dog is 101) and is on fairly strong pain killers for the pain. If things turn out as we think, and he doesn’t go septic, he’s in for a long recovery lasting weeks. In fact, he’ll be on antibiotics for the next six to eight weeks. We were told that it will be about two weeks before he’ll seem like himself again. In the meantime I have a liquid diet for convalescing dogs to inject into his mouth until his appetite starts coming back.
    …
    Right now he passed out in one of his favorite spots because he’s really doped up, but at least he’s getting a well-deserved rest as will all of us. I haven’t slept for more than three hours in a row for two days now.
    …
    While were thankful to at least know what we’re dealing with, it’s still serious and we’re not out of the woods yet.
    …
    I’ll update as needed, and thanks (once again) for everyone’s best wishes.
    …
    Also, too: neutering is in his near future.
