Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Come on, man.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

All your base are belong to Tunch.

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Consistently wrong since 2002

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

East Coast Launch: Early Morning Viewing!

Folks,

There’s an Orbital ATK Antares rocket launch at 4:39 AM Eastern, in just a bit. It’s launching from the Wallops Island Facility in Southeast Virginia.

Since the rain has gone, it looks like a lot of folks may see something, should they look the appropriate direction (and up!).

You can watch the launch live on space.com

    Successfully launched. I do, however, find the launches that don’t include a first stage booster re-entry and landing less interesting. Spacex is rapidly changing expectations and lowering launch cost. It’s an interesting time for those of us interested in space travel. Oh, the places we’ll go.

    Thanks for the thread.

    Rats, missed seeing it – was in the gym doing my run but they did show the launch on the TV; I was the only person there – a bit early for most morning people.

    I saw it. There was a thick bsnk of clouds all around the horizon that I was pretty sure would enntirly obscure the view, but but lo and behold, four minutes after the delayed launch time of 4:44, I was about to go home and was very surprised to see a bright light come up from the thickest part of the clouds and illuminating the thin upper part of cloud bank from behind. Also saw the stage 1 or booster rocket flare out behind it.

    A huge “smoke ring” cloud way up in the stratosphere (where the stage 1 rocket had burnt out) remained illuminated by the pre-dawn sun for a good twenty minutes after liftoff, while the sky was still dark. I’m sure it was visible to most anyone on the mid-atlantic / Eastern seaboard.
