Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

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

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

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

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Giving up is unforgivable.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Let there be snark.

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.
