Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

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

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

The lights are all blinking red.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

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

The revolution will be supervised.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

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

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

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

This fight is for everything.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

The National Guard is not Batman.

    On the way in to work I listen to Limbaugh for the comedic value, and lemme tell you, he didn’t disappoint. He had the gall to say that Obama has had an easy time of it in life, he has had “the skids greased” for him. Thinking of Shrub almost made me rear end the person in front of me at the light.

    My dad was over the other day. He brought his car over, the one he loves. A ’57 Ford Thunderbird. He asked my mom to marry him in it, like 59 years ago. Later found that darn car and bought it!

    We head out to eat and he is so proud. He went to Best Buy and got a CD player put into the car.

    Music playing, which is so rare for my father ….

    I think I said, “hey dad, are you listening to Miles Davis?” He then went on this story telling of how he’d listened to Miles live with his father, an amazing story. I am like “dude you know I love Miles Davis, didn’t know you listened to him.” I reached over and cranked that stereo and we ran down that road listening to Miles and were happy.

    I crossed the border earlier and the US guard said his leave was cancelled and no one was getting paid. He let me rant about politicians who shut down a government and leave workers stranded…for a border patrol agent, that is astounding. Pissing off voters who might naturally gravitate to conservative candidates has consequences…I hope.

    @Jane2:

    Was the guard specific about which politicians were to blame?

    It does no good to cast a pox on both sides. There is one side, and one side only, that is to blame for this mess. Hint: Nancy Pelosi is not on the side to blame.

    Back in the Stone Age, worked at a summer camp. One of the vans used to transport the little monsters darlings on special trips and such had an 8-track.

    One day, the owner of the camp was at the wheel, driving a full load of campers somewhere or other, and put in a tape.

    Within seconds, cries of “Put on something good! Change the tape! Get rid of that!” rang out.

    The owner, still barreling along at highway speed, calmly reached over, popped the tape out, rolled down the window and tossed out the tape.

    No one ever complained about the musical choices being played again.

    Couple of off the beaten track stories.

    FBI hauls in a digital stash.

    The FBI initially seized over 26,000 Bitcoins. I asked the FBI spokesperson what the plan is for those cryptocoins. “We will download the Bitcoin and store them,” she said. “We will hold them until the judicial process is over.”

    Then what?

    “This is kind of new to us,” she said. “We will probably just liquidate them.” Source

    A whole ‘nother version of The Sting.

    Hornets have killed dozens of people in China and injured more than 1,500 with their powerful venomous sting.
    The Asian giant hornet, known scientifically as Vespa mandarinia, carries a venom that destroys red blood cells, which can result in kidney failure and death, said Justin O. Schmidt, an entomologist at the Southwest Biological Institute in Tucson, Arizona.
    [snip]
    In person, the Asian giant hornet, which is the largest hornet species in the world, looks like “the wasp analog of a pit bull” with “a face that looks like you just can’t reason with it,” said Christopher K. Starr, professor of entomology at University of West Indes in Trinidad & Tobago. Source

    I love sauerkraut and cooked cabbage, but for some reason fresh cabbage fills me with dread straight out of Lovecraft. I’ll happily eat hot sausages with peppers and savor the ensuing fiery eruptions, I’ll cheerfully rationalize a bit of gastroesophageal reflux after a hearty meal of spaghetti, but somehow the tasteless burps I get from raw cabbage horrify me.

    Those wasps sound nasty. It’s beginning to look as if Mother Nature might be a wee bit annoyed with us human types. Ever heard of the Lone Star tick? The bite can turn you into a vegan. Srsly!

    “This allergy is so weird,” she said. “It’s turned my life upside down.”

    Doctors had misdiagnosed her early reactions as a stomach virus or the flu, but recent research has validated what her own research had already uncovered: Richey is living with an allergy to red meat, likely brought on by a tick bite she suffered barely a year ago.

    @NotMax: My brother and I each year buy my parents satellite radio. They travel a lot and well, hearing the St. Louis Cardinals baseball game is key. I don’t know much of the music my dad listens to. I just found it strange he was listening to what I listen to. Small world.

    @badjim: raw cabbage contains a goitrigen that is destroyed during the fermentation process and also, I think, by cooking.

    You would have to eat a lot of raw cabbage to develop a goiter, but if you were starving, and the cabbage was the only crop that made it that year….

    @Matt McIrvin: Maybe not this time.

    I’ve seen previously “meh” people sit up and notice, and somewhat political people shooting fire from their eyes.

    None of them are blaming the President or the Democrats.

    @WereBear: I’ve seen a lot of “dammit, those Washington politicians, you just can’t trust them” (which is always a pro-Republican sentiment in the long run, even if the person harboring it doesn’t realize it), and of course the conservatives I know are 100% blaming it on Democrats. The people excoriating the Republicans were all liberal-leaning in the first place. So it’s hard for me to judge whether this is moving the needle any.

    I heard that Governor Patrick was being interviewed on NPR or somewhere the other day, got the standard “but aren’t both sides to blame?” question and got to flat-out respond “NO! Both sides are NOT to blame.” Good to hear it once in a while.
