Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Be a wild strawberry.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

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

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

How stupid are these people?

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

The revolution will be supervised.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

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

From commentor Satby:

I’m attaching 2 pictures of Clayton, who was 10 minutes away from euthanasia when I contacted the rescue people and told them I could foster him. He’s a medium sized young boy, appears to be a shep mix (with a chow grandparent?) who was picked up as a stray in central IL. He’s a good guy, walks nicely on a leash, likes other dogs and seems OK with cats but he hasn’t really been close to mine so I’m not sure. He knows some commands and is a pretty calm dog for his age, which I’m guessing is just under a year old. Until he feels settled, he vocalizes a fake “growl” to let people know he’s not sure about stuff, but he’s shown no aggressive behavior at all. Clayton is a devoted companion, sitting at your feet when you’re reading or watching TV and sleeping on the floor by the bed when you sleep. He’d be a perfect companion for an older person or couple who need a fairly low maintenance dog and are familiar enough with dogs to watch his body language and not be thrown when he vocalizes. Did I mention he’s a snuggler? He will be neutered on Thursday, has all his shots.

Anyway, anyone on the blog who thinks they know of a good home for Clayton can contact me at [email protected]. Transport can be arranged in the Midwest. I appreciate any help anyone can offer finding a forever home for Clayton, because he’s a wonderful dog.

If you’ve got suggestions, you can also email me by clicking on my name near the top of the right-hand column.

    @Raven (formerly stuckinred): OT, but how about them Cats finally beating UT!!

    I was at game. Really weird one. No QB for us, just a converted wide receiver who channeled Tim Tebow for a game. Happiest I’ve been after a game in 14 or 15 years.

    Good luck against LSU, I think you will need it.

    What a beautiful dog. I am in the Twin Cities area and would definitely take him. I sent an email off to Satby so we’ll see.

    @askew: Got it, so we’ll talk! And Annie Laurie, thanks so much for posting Clayton’s pics and info. He is a good boy, I’m glad the little voice inside told me to contact the animal control officer who was pleading for a rescue for this guy. It actually was minutes away, the vet was there to euth the lottery losers, but instead had the happy duty of giving Clayton his rabies shot for transport.

    All it took to find a home for this puppeh was this post being up for one hour. And it’s not even a rare occurrence here. That’s what I love about this place.

    @askew:
    Are you going to keep his name?

    Yay! This made my day. Thank you, askew! I hope it all works out. He’s a beautiful boy; he looks a lot like a short-hair version of my Libby, who is (of course!) the Best Dog in the World.

    @Amir Khalid: Yep, one hour may be all it took, fingers crossed. Thanks to everyone for the good wishes and askew contacting me! She sounds perfect, and I’m already looking for a rescue local to her to do a home check.

    Now… I get about 10 emergency rescue emails a day from the various groups I transport/foster for, so I’ll keep this in mind ;)

    He looks like a good doggy…..just like the thousands of others that are euthanized every single day across America!

    This blog rocks. Thank you Satby and Askew for making my day. BTW Askew, I have two good friends whose last name is Askew (they are cousins, but had lost track of each other until I put 2 + 2 together), Any chance you have some relatives in SoCal?

    @feebog:

    Their last name is Askew? I am so jealous. Not my last name. I just love the word and try to use it as often as possible.

    What a great dog! Yay, to all!

    If a transport PayPal goes up, ready to contribute. That’s such a cute doggie.
