Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Let’s finish the job.

This really is a full service blog.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

“woke” is the new caravan.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

    Good Morning AL.

    Don’t you sleep? I thought I was the only one who was too wired to go to bed… A glass of port in hand I wander the intertubes…
    Cheers

    Cyber war is such an unknown for so many. Would’ve loved to have an incoming Admin ready to address.

    Given that void, what next?

    I’ve been following that Anonymous twitter feed for awhile and have been struck by the clear headed and straight forward tweets coming from them. I think it’s just another indication that the timeline has been well and truly fucked and the scientists didn’t reach the doomsday self destruct button in time to save the universe as we know it.

    @efgoldman: Seen a couple folks mention our assumption that it’s girls. No idea and obviously we don’t give a crap either way wrt gender.

    This suggestion came up when I was looking into Orange Czar’s seemingly only friend – Roy Cohn. That guy is despicable and disgusting. I haven’t seen Angels in America and don’t know if I want to now. Yikes.

    I’ve been wondering which asshole accidentally stepped on a butterfly when he tested out his time machine.

    And if you read the original Bradbury story, the man was a fucking prophet.

    @efgoldman:

    Umm, no. He can love Rand or he can love the constitution; he can’t love both.

    The Constitution, for Conservatives, is like the Bible, for pre-reformation Christian peasants: it’s an idealized something they are told about, and taught to revere, but it is written in a foreign language, it is not for their perusal, and in any case they’re illiterate even in their own tongue.

    Stephen Colbert has just been,I don’t know the word, snarkily shrilly, in his monologues. I am actually worried about his safety after Lumpy assumes office. I’m also surprised Lumpy hasn’t tweeted about Colbert. Maybe he figures he won’t come out well in a twitter war against Colbert.

    That reminds me…

    When Assange tried to start a Wikileaks Party in Australia, he aligned with the white nationalist party. That was the beginning of the end, because a lot of the original members jumped ship.

    Also…

    Trump has already been hacked (by Anonymous?) so he’s a complete hypocrite when he mocks Podesta. Somebody hacked his voicemail and sent the recordings to Gawker. They exposed his cozy relationship with MSNBC — Joe & Mika in particular.

    He also got friendly messages from Tom Brady, Don King and David Axelrod.

    The vulgar talking yam performed very poorly in his short tweet battle with Jon Stewart; I think Colbert would punish him.

    @Mnemosyne: Ray Bradbury spoke at my HS when I was about 15, so about 1965. Told wonderful stories, some of them about resisting authority, urging us to not be sheep. Said he went for a walk with his wife one evening, either in Long Beach or Santa Monica (I can’t remember), and they were just walking along and a cop pulled over to the curb next to them and demanded to know where they were going, wanted to see their ID, etc. He was so astonished and so angry about this that he wrote a short story or a play about just this issue.
    When he was a young teenager he wrote gags for George Burns. The LA Times magazine published a short article he wrote about how he loved California. The photo that accompanied it was of him at age 13 or so, in pajamas, slippers, and a robe, standing outside next to Burns. I love thee, Queen Calafia, published in 2001.

    Now that Wikileaks has been useless if not dangerous as a depot for leaked information for awhile, I’ll be interested to see whether Anons step up. (I know, Anonymous Are Not Your Private Army.)

    @Ian: Anonymous is not and never has been a single person or organization. @YourAnonCentral is, of course, an identity.

    Believe them when their message is supported by evidence. Pay attention to them when they promote useful and accurate material.
