Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Nothing worth doing is easy.

In my day, never was longer.

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

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

All hail the time of the bunny!

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

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

I really should read my own blog.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

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

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

When I was faster i was always behind.

Oh, Hey. Here’s Steve Using Rosie’s Ass as a Hat

Not sure if you have ever been around Jack Russell Terriers, but their back haunches always look like they are wearing fluffy pantaloons. At any rate, Steve decided that Rosie’s fluffy bum makes a perfect pillow, and used it as such for a while:

It’s only been six weeks since Steve came here, and he already has every damned one of us trained. As a point of reference, it took the collective might of the United States military fourteen weeks of OSUT before I became this obedient.

    Pictures! Yay! HBM and I went to Costco today and he is now fixing my third messed_up computer.

    This is one of the things I love about Maine Coon Cats–they are benevolent dictators. Yes they rule the house but in the most delightful way.

    Cole, please get a decent camera or learn to use the one you have. We need some good/great pictures of Steve. I’m waiting…

    @kc: That is the salient question.

    When Steve decides that those dishes don’t belong in the dishwasher, who you gonna believe?

    Was under the impression Cole was relegated to the La-Z-Boy as his pretend master-o-da-haus throne. Isn’t that where they pin him at night?

    Roommate’s been checking out the shelters for the right dog. Super excited to be a doggie uncle.

    Random tangent: why do pundits like to say that the fact that post-college millennials need roommates is bad and/or new? Hasn’t it always been thus in cities? Live at home or live with friends? It’s not like we don’t have our own ROOMS.

    That’s a great pic (animal bonding wise, not photography wise)! Steve truly is the master of the house. As it should be.

    Pretty much OT, but they’re using DRONZE for firefighting in California.

    Firefighters battling the giant wildfire burning in the Sierra Nevada added a California National Guard Predator drone to their arsenal Wednesday to give them almost immediate views of any portion of the flames chewing through rugged forests in and around Yosemite National Park.

    The MQ-1 unmanned aircraft being remotely piloted hundreds of miles away quickly alerted fire bosses to a new flare-up they otherwise wouldn’t have immediately seen.

    “They’re piping what they’re seeing directly to the incident commander, and he’s seeing it in real time over a computer network,” said National Guard Lt. Col. Tom Keegan.

    Previously, ground commanders relied on helicopters that needed to refuel every two hours. The 12-day-old Rim Fire continued to grow, expanding to 301 square miles. But crews building lines around the flames made significant progress, and containment jumped to 30 percent. Cooler temperatures and lighter winds are aiding firefighters. Increasingly confident fire officials said they expect to fully surround the blaze in three weeks, although it will burn for much longer than that.

    “We continue to get line around this fire,” California fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said Wednesday. “It’s not nearly as active as it was last week.”

    While unmanned aircraft have mapped past fires, use of the Predator will be the longest sustained mission by a drone in California to broadcast information to firefighters in real time.

    The plane, the size of a small Cessna, will remain over the burn zone for up to 22 hours at a time, allowing fire commanders to monitor fire activity, determine the fire’s direction of movement, the extent of containment and confirm new fires ignited by lightning or flying embers.

    This is a very big breakthrough in wildfire-fighting technology, like the DC-10 they’ve converted to an aerial tanker.

    @trollhattan:

    Well, this can’t be true, because I’ve been reliably informed that drones are always bad and can only be used for nefarious purposes.

    TBogg gone.

    I hope this means the Red Sox are winning the World Series.

    Okay, I know that doesn’t resonate like it did 10 years ago, but still…

    @trollhattan: The DC-10 is fucking amazing to see. And yes, this is a very valuable step. These will become fully automated before long, with thermal cameras and computers able to calculate exactly where to drop water.

    I don’t think most people fully realize how much of a revolution is upon us. In just the last few years, we’ve developed the ability to produce very powerful and light motors, very small and accurate sensors, and enough computational power in a small package to be able to do this stuff. It simply wasn’t possible a decade ago, and now its not only possible, but cheap as well. Automated planes and cars are coming a lot sooner than people realize and the impact will be huge.

    Unpossible, but I am imagining a parody of “Blurred Lines,” starring Steve, and Rosie and Lily cavorting….O, never mind. Too much Vevo/Mod Carousel here; preferable to the VMA’s, tho.

    @Suffern ACE: I’m actually rooting hard for the Buccos, unless/until such time as they play my Tigers in the WS.

    They’re a great story this year, although I suspect Cole isn’t the only Pittsburgher too busy waiting for Steelerz Season to return even to pay attention.

    @Suffern ACE: Ah, yes, the whole “I used to be allowed to fuck that” thing.

    Even the gayest of the Greeks punched downwards at those nasty bottoms who were asking for it. Uppity bottoms!

    I’m boarding a bus from Dallas to San Antonio. The ticket cost $30 roundtrip, there’s a plug for my phone and tablet, the seat is comfortable, and it’s an express stopping only in Austin. The bus is no longer the bus.

    Oh, yes, free Wi-Fi is advertised all the way down. This is insane.

    On first too quick (mis)reading, saw it as a reference to Lord Plushbottom and Lady Plushbottom (née Emmy Schmaltz) from the Moon Mullins newspaper comic strip.

    I hope this means the Red Sox Cubs are winning the World Series.

    Fixed. You guys had your turn. :)

    Up until the Sox won it, I thought a Cubs – Red Sox Series would have a certain existential quality. Oh well. Now I can fret about how the Braves will fail in the postseason.

    It is not surprising that Steve uses Rosie as a pillow. Litters of kittens like to use each other as pillows; they form cuddle puddles or kitten piles very easily and for months. Nothing is as soft as your sibling for sleeping on.

    @J.Ty:

    when the “Gen X” kids were graduating in the 90s they were the “boomerang kids”
    I’m too young to know what the media marketeers made up for the boomers.

    but really it’s a generational fault rather than a lack of decent jobs. I do remember Pete WIlson telling us that Mc Jobs led to McManagement and then McOwnership. I mean the other kids were always just fine, it’s the current crop who are all lazy slobs.

    Steve is King!

    My husband and I are adopting two maine coon mix kittens. Hopefully they are coming home on Saturday. We are so excited!
