Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let there be snark.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Infrastructure week. at last.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

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

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Everybody saw this coming.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Let’s be fair: The programmers behind this stunt are, statistically, liable to be lousy dancers themselves. We won’t even discuss their concept of ‘popular music’…

    @Jay:

    I think it’s the head that’s the creepiest part.

    But what I really want to know is will they be in the stores in time for Christmas?

    Sure it’s four years old, but it was a huge hit, Almost certainly chosen by the marketing department because everyone will have heard an old hit song and nobody old will have heard the new ones.

    And I was a better dancer when I was young and actively writing code than when I got older and started telling other people what to write.

    I don’t care. I’m already a slave to two cat’s and angry birds on my cell phone.

    My wife has been enslaved by the same cats and Words with Friends.

    Add in the Master’s of the Universe and I’m all slaved out,

    To the point of saying Happy Hollidays from before All Hallows Eve, to The Russian Orthodox New Year.

    Well, “better” is relative, yes?

    N.B.: I am a lousy dancer, married to a lousy (non-by-choice) dancer, who’s been to a lot of sf-con parties, SCA events, and weddings where programmers put on their dancing shoes. We have the enthusiasm, but…

    Just finished season 3 of The Man in the High Castle. Now I have to wait until next year.

    QQ: Can I read the book or will I get spoilers? I imagine they’ve gone far beyond the book by now of course. Still. Advice?

    @TaMara (HFG): You know, it struck me as weird when you tweet about members of your menagerie with links to your whats4dinnersolutions web page. The squirrel less than the cat, but still. At least here the link is buried under text.

    @Emerald:

    The book is very different to the TV series. The first season kinda sorta corresponded to the book, but after that the TV show went its own way.

    It’s not really my cup of music, but there’s little doubt that Bruno Mars is supremely talented.

    I’m actually sitting a quarter mile from where the man went to high school

    And now this robot dog has to compete with an even more adorable one in the OTR thread. That dog is (1) live, but (2) not dancing or twerking. In the photos, anyway.

    She does dance, our dog does. Every morning for a cookie, with great glee because she knows she’s going to get one eventually. After the coffee is dripping.
