Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Alternative history is always a weak argument. Always.

I did not have this on my fuck 2024 bingo card.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

It looks like winning debates is a black job!

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Anybody Interested in a Sacramento Meet-Up This Weekend?

This post is in: ,

Apologies for the late notice (my fault), a query from commentor and party-promoter lahke:

Hi, folks! I’m temporarily in the Sacramento area (shuttling between Fair Oaks and Roseville). Are there any local jackals who want to do a meet up?

I’m thinking Saturday evening, but open to alternatives.

If you’re interested, leave a comment below, or send me an email at annelaurie (dot) bj (at) gmail (dot) com, and I’ll forward your message.

    A Sacto meet up would be swell, but I’m booked on Saturday. What’s your Sunday am look like?
    Trollhattan, Darkrose, others?
    Maybe Old Soul at the Weatherstone (21st and I st.)?

    I’m in Grass Valley. Would love to hitch a ride if anyone from Nevada City, Grass Valley or Auburn attends. Any time Saturday or Sunday is good for me.

    @middlelee: Grass Valley! What an embarrassment of riches you have in that community – the music scene, the local radio, and the fair grounds from the land that time forgot. Plus local brews and cheese and such.

    @laura:
    Also a calendar embarrassment. I just got an email reminder that I’m scheduled to attend a workshop in Nevada City from 1-5 p.m. on Saturday. Sigh.
    And yes, this is a fabulous place to live. The climate is wonderful (heat isn’t my enemy) and I live out in the country with wild turkeys, deer, farm animals on all sides, so many flower colors all year round. So much great food and good wine. Also, many liberals, a writer’s group, and an active sangha as well as Unitarians. Can you tell I’m happy here?

    Hi, and I’m so sorry to rescind the invitation, but my father died unexpectedly yesterday and I don’t think I’m up for it.
    In one sense it wasn’t unexpected because he was a week shy of his 99th birthday and quite frail, but he was not sick before. He just had breathing trouble and then seizures and then died. At least I was here in town, and not having to fly in from Boston now.

    @Lahke: Oh, I’m sorry. Even at that age, it’s a big loss. Glad to hear he didn’t suffer months of pain, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less. My condolences to your family.

    So sorry about your Dad. I’m just outside of Roseville. If you need anything, Anne Laurie can share my email addy.

    I’m so sorry to hear that, Lahke!

    As Joe Biden says: May the day soon come when the thought of him brings a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eyes.

    Will put up another post with updates…
