Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)
Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!
Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.
We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.
You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.
At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.
“Alexa, change the president.”
The words do not have to be perfect.
He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!
’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’
People are complicated. Love is not.
Good lord, these people are nuts.
No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.
If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.
“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”
… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact
GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.
“They all knew.”
One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.
Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.
Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.
Black Jesus loves a paper trail.
Our messy unity will be our strength.
Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Yesterday was the RZA’s 48th (and my dad’s 53rd) birthday.
With that in mind: Which is the better album: Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… or Liquid Swords?
Also: Daaaaaaawwwwwwwww…

So, I thought it was going to be Your Dog!
Guess not.
Lymie
Poor puppy. Selection for a tiny chow like appearance has left it with some neurological disorder.
SiubhanDuinne
OMG, what IZ that? So cute!!
Adam L Silverman
@J R in WV: Not my dogs. It is cute though.
Steeplejack
I am so bored that I am paying bills on line ahead of time.
ETA: Not really bored. I hardly ever get bored. Just have nothing compelling to focus on at the moment.
Adam L Silverman
@Lymie: I think it is just a happy puppy.
Steeplejack
Autoplay no bueno.
Adam L Silverman
@Steeplejack: As in it isn’t working for you or it annoys you? Am asking from a diagnostic point of view.
Smedley Darlington Prunebanks (Formerly Mumphrey, et al.)
What is that? It looks like a happy puppy, but it could also be the world’s tiniest bear.
Steeplejack
@Adam L Silverman:
It is annoying, especially when it endlessly repeats the same short video.
I do realize that in this instance there is a pause button available. That’s not always the case.

And for no particular reason, here’s Albert Collins playing with a Hammond organ. Can’t go wrong with that.
Adam L Silverman
@Steeplejack: I have just spent the past 20 minutes trying to see if there is a way to turn the autoplay of the gif off. There isn’t.
Look on the bright side: you now have something compelling, or in this case repelling, to focus on. You’re welcome!
Adam L Silverman
@The Pale Scot: Not exactly a state secret. A lot of this was made public in discovery of the Crown’s prosecution of BAE Systems for bribery and corruption.

Today was an annoying day. My Visa card got compromised the week before we leave for Chicago (fortunately, I still have my debit card from another bank) and I found out who the weakest link is in a group project I’m helping with (fortunately, it’s not me). And all this shit needs to be done before I leave on vacation this Friday. Ugh.
Also, I’m being neurotic with my Passion Planner and re-numbering it so it starts on a Monday instead of a Sunday, which is very fiddly work. If you don’t understand what I mean, just walk on by — it’s really not that interesting for the amount of work I’m putting into it. Which is what my day has been like.
Kraux Pas
OMG, I don’t know what’s better; just how fluffy it is, it’s scrunchy face, or the way it bobbles its head. The perfect storm of cute!!!
Mnemosyne
Adam, somebody wrote a book just for you! ?
MoeLarryAndJesus
So what kind of batteries does that thing take?
Adam L Silverman
@Mnemosyne: I don’t get why they have Squirrel Girl in there. She actually defeated both Dr. Doom and Galactus, which is more than the Fantastic Four have done. And she’s a fan favorite too!
West of the Rockies (been a while)
Rachel’s story tonight on the unraveling of Polish officials just in time to upend Jeb(!)’s visit last year was verrrry interesting. The whole Trump ascendancy seems ever more orchestrated by Russian intervention…
Oh, wicked cute Chow Chow!
Major Major Major Major
Oh, damn it, that’s adorable.
I don’t know why but I’ve had Ashes To Ashes stuck in my head all day, specifically the Tears For Fears version. Ashes to ashes, funk to funky, we know Major Tom’s a junkie…

@West of the Rockies (been a while): Penetration at all levels.

I saw a movie where that happened.

Good lord, what a precious ball of fluff!
I can’t sleep, so I’m rewatching “The Queen” on Netflix. Helen Mirren is fabulous.

@Major Major Major Major:
That’s a good cover.
I like cover/tribute albums. One of my favorites is Deadicated, which I wish I still had a copy of. Also The Last Temptation of Elvis.
Suzanne Vega, “Cassidy.”
Aleta
@Lymie: Could be his head structure is limiting or squeezing the space for some part of his brain, like the area for processing proprioception, or the vestibular system; or it is somehow limiting his righting reflex.

@Mnemosyne:
Is that like a Day-Timer for … never mind, I don’t really want to know. Carry on.
Adam L Silverman
@Aleta: Or it is just a very young puppy with short legs and it is toddling around.
?BillinGlendaleCA
@Betty Cracker: Here’s a pic of a hummingbird for ya.
Juice Box
@Lymie: I think that’s just a regular chow puppy walking in the usual uncoordinated young puppy manner.
Mnemosyne
@Major Major Major Major:
Meh. A little too slavish to the original.
Mnemosyne
@frosty:
It’s a Day-Timer for project planning. I told you it was pretty boring.
?BillinGlendaleCA
@Mnemosyne: Sure it is.
Major Major Major Major
@Mnemosyne: I’ve uh… heard that song, y’know.
ETA: And a cover doesn’t have to be a reinterpretation, it can just be pleasant.
Mnemosyne
@?BillinGlendaleCA:
Sadly, it actually is.
Betty Cracker
@?BillinGlendaleCA: It’s gorgeous!
Mnemosyne
@Major Major Major Major:
There may be some people who haven’t. We have some young ‘uns here.
?BillinGlendaleCA
@Major Major Major Major: Can you hum a few bars?
?BillinGlendaleCA
@Mnemosyne: I though Major^4 was one of the young ‘uns. I think he’s a couple of years younger than the kid.

since the fake-assed religious right took up the baby in the UK as their cause celeb on health care, here are a couple stories on the Texas Futile care law. The twitterer in chief took up the cause over the weekend when not browsing stormfront for anti-media videos

@Gian: Hypocrisy is real because offering help to a UK couple (who have access to great healthcare) while planning to take away healthcare for tens of millions of Americans takes a lot of chutzpah. The Rightwing has shown over and over again that it couldn’t care less about poor children.
