Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“woke” is the new caravan.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

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

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

If marriage is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery, women with self respect should reject the offer.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

“But what about the lurkers?”

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

    The widest-open net I have ever seen in my life has gone begging. TB had their goal challenged, and reversed, on offsides on the play which set it up.

    Will there be a thread for the hoop, too, or do we have to pollute this one?

    Why do we have threads for honkeys? Can’t everyone participate, or is this some sort of Bernie rally?

    Oooooh. Hockey. Nevermind.

    @Gin & Tonic: Norway for 1.5 weeks with my wife and several friends. Lots of good hiking and kayaking to be had, and most of it in remote parts where work emails can be safely ignored. Then I will visit the West Coast for a few days (SF for 1 day, Vegas for a multi-hour gambling trip, and then LA for a day). Finishing off in Boston at one of my wife’s friend’s wedding.

    Not gonna jinx anyone, but if it’s a Toronto-OKC finals, wouldn’t that be a hoot? How many people lose a fucking bundle?

    Pens are freaking me out and I can’t even discuss them.

    IRL, my job has been so ridiculously stressful the last few months that I am more than strung out and exhausted. As of Friiday at 5pm, I’ll be on staycation for a week. I can’t fucking wait.

    Dunno if you ever listen to Car Talk on NPR (whatever, yeah, okay, PRI whatevs, I get it) but I always love the names of their staff. Their “Working Mothers Liaison” is Erasmus B. Dragon. LOL, always cracks me up.

    @Gin & Tonic: While I try I always end up setting the rod in that holder and cranking. They put belts on us while we headed out and I have never seen that on a boat. Generally they wait for the first hit but these guys knew they were headed right for the AJ’s and acted accordingly. Here’s a decent shot.

    You can start with the Corporate Americans who pre-purchased advertising slots for the finals.

    @Gin & Tonic: Thanks, I was happy on this trip before I caught it (actually I caught 3 of the 9 we kept but everyone for at least one)!

    @Omnes Omnibus: Amberjack or “reef donkey”. The really put up a fight. When I started fishing down here they threw them back but now there is a one fish per person limit and they have to be 34 inches.

    @redshirt: I plan to see it in IMAX this Thursday. I’ve been a bit busy.

    I have been to Gettysburg more times than I can count though.

    As a Sabres fan living in Pennsyltucky, I’m enjoying watching the pens and bolts duel.

    These have been very entertaining games

    So, Go Sabres! Golfing that is!

    @redshirt: I don’t understand why you’re disappointed if its the best comic book movie of all time.

    As for Grant, if you mean President Grant, he’s a bit incommunicado these days. He also was not at Gettysburg. He was still in the western theater of operations at that time.

    @redshirt: I’ve just been very busy. I’ve had three projects to put to bed since mid April and official travel right after it came out in the theaters.

    You’re killing me !

    I just switched internet providers 3 days ago and have had decent speeds for up & down loads. Tonight the wheels come off the cart.

    It’s been like copper line dial up in the early 90’s. . .

    Tech support from Bora Bora demands I post something to check upload speeds and download via THEIR website, vs. CNet, whom I trust. . .

    If I only had a woodchipper. . .

    @redshirt: I read, these days and for the past decade or so, DC rather than Marvel. I’ve seen every Marvel movie in the theater (minus one, I think I was in Iraq for one of them), and have enjoyed them all.

    @redshirt: No, that was 2010. Its whichever one came out in 2008. I also missed the second Batman movie for the same reason – my team and I were at our BCT’s training rotation at the Joint Mission Readiness Center in Hohenfells, Germany.

    @efgoldman: It got better for about ten minutes there in the middle of the 3rd period. And then it got worse, much, much worse.

    @redshirt: The problem, I think, they’ve had with Hulk is that they kept doing origin stories. Given the TV show in the 70s, I’m not sure there’s anyone who isn’t aware of the Hulk’s origins. I also think that it took until the Avengers to finally get the CGI right. Norton didn’t do a bad job as Banner, and the CGI was better than the Ang Lee Hulk, but the Hulk from the Avengers is the first time I’ve felt I’m actually watching the Hulk on screen and its not requiring a tremendous suspension of disbelief. I also like Rufallo as Banner.

    I think there are a number of stand alone Hulk movies they could do if they decided they wanted to, aside from the obvious World War Hulk and Planet Hulk story arcs that could net them at least three sort of stand alone Hulk films that still had the ensemble cast component because of the stories.
