Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

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

You cannot shame the shameless.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Second rate reporter says what?

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

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

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

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

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

The revolution will be supervised.

Spent most of the night setting up the new iMac and trying to setup bootcamp (I failed but I got to watch soccer all day while rearranging the office), and am now just winding down watching a little tube.

Actually watching one of my favorite dvd’s, Patrice O’Neal- Elephant in the Room, and laughing like I am watching it for the first time even though I have seen it several dozen times. It’s so completely wrong, but just genius. His facial expressions and delivery and the way he effortlessly works the front rows is just fucking brilliant, even though it’s so damn wrong.

    Sort of surprised there have been no draws thus far. I’m gonna err on the side of hopefulness for a friend and say the first one will come tomorrow between France and Honduras. And barring upsets I’m assuming it’ll be Argentina over B&H and Switzerland over Ecuador.

    You don’t need Bootcamp to run VMFusion or Parallels. Just pick the one you want and install it (both are excellent–I’ve got Fusion and it works great). Then install your Windows OS to make a virtual machine and you’re good to go.

    BTW, with Fusion you can take screenshots that land on your Mac desktop if you want. Hold down command+shift and hit the 3 key. Have fun!

    If you’re not too far along, a good way to go is to divide up that big 1T HD into partitions, 4 or five at least. You can install Windows on one duplicate your boot drive for redundancy, put Linux on another, and have a couple left over for future installs and tests.

    Use the install disk to divvy up the HD.

    @The Pale Scot: I used to be a fan of multiple partitions, but now it’s too much of a hassle. It always seems like what you want is on the other partition, and if it is in a different OS format, getting the stuff off can be a pain. And then there’s backups…

    If someone wants to play with different OSes these days, it makes more sense to use a dedicated external HD on a reasonably fast interface instead. Thunderbolt/USB3/eSATA all make that relatively painless now.

    My $0.02.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    I just bought an imac a few days ago. There’s a program called Synergy you can use that lets you run it next to your old PC. One mouse, one keyboard, when the mouse is on the imac you’re using the imac, when it’s on the PC you’re using the PC. Pretty cool, no need to migrate all the junk from your old computer.
