Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Bark louder, little dog.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

North Carolina Man Loves His Donuts!

You have to appreciate the commitment to one’s craft!

Charlotte Observer, take it away!

A North Carolina man who made headlines when he was caught for break-ins after winning a doughnut-eating contest has been arrested again. And this time he’s accused of stealing from a doughnut shop.

The Virginian-Pilot newspaper reports 27-year-old Bradley Hardison of Elizabeth City was charged Thursday with stealing from a Dunkin’ Donuts in November.

An Elizabeth City Police Department statement says he’s charged with felonies including breaking and entering and larceny. It wasn’t clear if he helped himself to any doughnuts.

A phone listing for Hardison rang disconnected.

Obligatory:

Stay frosted!

Open thread.

    Just wanted to do an informal poll here: Is anyone here familiar, or at least acquainted, with Nickelodeon proper’s live action programming from the ’90s to ’00s (e.g., All That, The Amanda Show, and the ball that started rolling with Drake and Josh?) Like, not necessarily being an avid watcher of said programming, just that you caught it enough times to know what it is.

    Guy should meet up with former Mass. State Senator Brian Joyce, who was arrested in December for taking bribes including $1mil in cash and 500 pounds of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee. That may have been the most Massachusetts crime possible. Anyway, you gotta wash those donuts down with something, right?

    I’m not into Krispy Kreme donuts but I could see myself breaking and entering a Dunkin Donuts when living under Trump finally breaks my tenuous grasp on sanity.

    @Butthurt Jordan Trombone (fka XTPD): Dan went to my high school. What was he like? Exactly like the character he played in movies and on “head of the class”: the fat guy whom no one liked.

    Joe dated one of my college friends. Visited them in New Jersey last fall. They have since broken up.

    @Omnes Omnibus: yes and yes. I’m too old for the mosh pit, but it’s fun to watch from the safety of the deck. When I asked about all the bruins jerseys I was told it’s because they suck. Almost everyone was wearing boston something, but no Red Sox or patriots.

    @Ben Cisco: He’s now the longest-running SNL member, but my mental image of Kenan Thompson has always been the same as when he left Nick – that is, in his case his mid-20s. (And for that matter, Kel Mitchell & Nick Cannon).

    Conversely, through the whole run of What I Like About You I thought Amanda Bynes was in her late-teens to early 20s (she was actually 17 when the series ended in 2006).

    @Steve in the ATL:

    Bruins jersey reminds me that I’m going to a Dropkick Murphys concert soon.

    Really? Wouldn’t seem to be your thing (from the wiki)

    The Dropkick Murphys have been known for supporting working class and union causes, and have a strong relationship with the AFL-CIO. All of the shirts sold by the band are 100% union made in the United States to show their support for American laborers.

    As for the Bruins thing, they have been considered for generations the bluest of blue collar sports teams – even though it costs as much to attend a game now as any other overpriced sports tickets, with concessions, parking, etc

    Saw this a couple of days ago. After reading about the large number of similar break-ins he’s associated with it was only a matter of time, as there’s a finite number of stores to target.

    @Adam L Silverman: We don’t seem to have donut shops here, just outside Seattle. There was one that everyone raved about called Top Pot but their donuts are really heavy things, not very appealing. The grocery store has them and they look pretty good but I haven’t had one in 3 years and dammit, I want one now.
    There are a couple of Winchell’s here but too far away. In SoCal we had them and TaylorMade and a number of independent shops, as well as The Donut Man. This place: http://www.thedonutmanca.com. OMG! The strawberry donuts are only available during strawberry season, but they also have a Boston Cream Pie donut.

    @opiejeanne: Winchells isn’t bad for a chain. I don’t think you can find them east of Denver.

    We have a very nice little non chain shop a few miles from my house. I try not to go there.

    Long’s Bakery in Indianapolis has the best glazed yeast doughnuts in the world, in my not very humble opinion. Melt-in-your-mouth-to-die-for. Be advised, they donut have a web site and it is a cash only institution.

    @opiejeanne: I did. I’ve heard of them before, but have been to San Diego once and LA once – both for work conferences. And didn’t get out and about much as I wasn’t out there long. San Francisco too for the same reason.

    I guess they’re not even trying to hide it now that they have the “left” propagandized to think it’s totally normal for the Russian state propaganda organ to support American candidates for office.

    @Butthurt Jordan Trombone (fka XTPD): She wasn’t crashing. These are her peeps.

    Not sure who the guy with the Van Dyke is, the woman next to him or the woman kneeling with the pie sign. But the idiot with the fez like thing is The Twink for Trump Lucian Wintrich, the idiot with the winners sign is Piss Test Boy Posobiec, then you’ve got alt-right guy Chamberlain, and over on the far side of the picture is former BernieSis turned alt-right Trumper Cassandra Fairbanks.

    @Omnes Omnibus:

    We saw the national tour of Hedwig without really knowing what we were getting ourselves into, and we were really blown away. Our Hedwig was Darren Chriss (may not be spelling that right), who was cast as Andrew Cunanan in “The Assassination of Gianni Versace.”

    @Mnemosyne: I saw the final performance at Jane St Theater. John Cameron Mitchell showed up and sang “You Light Up My Life” in German and then we went to the post-party in Soho. Bought tickets that went to an AIDS charity. Hedwig mocked me me for going to the men’s room.

    For anyone who was there, I was the brunet in the blue blazer in the front row.

    @Adam L Silverman: That photo put a thought into my admittedly virus-affected head that has never been there before.

    If THAT is whiteness, and surely that’s some of what they’re trying to show off, how can I cover mine? No I am not gonna do some horrible and offensive face painting maneuver, but those folks made me consider it for the first time ever.

    Long’s Bakery in Indianapolis

    Too long a drive.

    Stan’s, in a hole-in-the-wall storefront in the strip mall at Homestead and Keily in Santa Clara CA.

    On Saturday mornings, and only on Saturday mornings, he makes one large batch of cinammon rolls.
    If you don’t get there before they’re gone (sometime around 8:00 AM) you’ve missed them.
    But other raised yeast thingies he makes in abundance, and sells all day, just as he has for thirty years.

    Dunkin’ and Winchell’s and Krispy Kreme — only if you can’t get Stan’s.

    @joel hanes: @joel hanes: My work group has a staff meeting Friday mornings. We take turns bringing donuts (or bagels, pastries, etc.). One guy always brings Stan’s. It’s too much out of the way for me. I either get them from Yum Yum, which bought out the Winchells around here, or Manley’s on De Anza Blvd. Manley’s are light and fluffy, almost as good as Stan’s.

    @manyakitty: He’s a veritable cash cow elephant for Nick & Viacom. I’ve seen four names going around of actresses he abused (Bynes, the younger Spears, McCurdy, and Erin Sanders*); Owen Ellickson suggested shit was about to get real this Friday on Twitter, and Robert Downey Jr. – who put him on blast in 2012 as “Himmmm” – suggested the same on Crazy Days and Nights.
    @Steve in the ATL: Such as the rumor about him fathering Spears’ child?

    @manyakitty: I don’t read it; I just got the relevant information from that site. I don’t recall anything about one of Griffith’s relatives; AFAICT the “RDJ is Himmm” hypothesis was backed by all the available evidence, but stopped just short of an official confirmation. FWIW there was a Twitter thread circulating a while back about the fucked-up undercurrents underneath Schneider’s series.

    @Origuy:

    almost as good as Stan’s.

    High praise indeed.

    Do you remember the much-missed Wilson’s Jewel Bakery, on Main in the old Santa Clara downtown ?
