Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Everybody saw this coming.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

No one could have predicted…

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

I really should read my own blog.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

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

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

Tick Tock: Yarrow is Fine!

by | 23 Comments

This post is in: ,

For those of you who asked in the comments and/or emailed me concerned that Yarrow was absent, I did reach out to Yarrow. And, as I said I’d do once I heard back, I am now reporting back that I’ve heard from Yarrow. Yarrow is fine. Just very busy. As you may recall he related he was dealing with/helping out with some health issues pertaining to his dad. That is taking up a lot of his time and energy. So he’s out there, doing what he has to do, and doing right by his dad. So send some good thoughts his and his dad’s way.

Open thread!

    Good thoughts from Ohio as well. It helps to not miss Yarrow to know he is busy doing the important work of taking care of Dad.

    It’s late here and time to turn in. Even if this thread attracts few comments, the post will be reassuring and heartening to all the regulars who have wondered about what was going on with Yarrow — thanks for the legwork, Adam, and the report.

    Good thoughts wending their way from central MA. Best wishes to you and your father.

    “Tick tock, motherfucker(s)” hasn’t been the same in Yarrow’s absence.

    Adam, I don’t know you and will likely never meet you, but you are an awesome person: professional, keenly intelligent, funny, and fair. Your posts are edifying, focused, and almost always comforting because you don’t go in for overly dramatic speculation.

    Keep up the fantastic work. I think John should double your salary!

    Thanks for checking, Adam.

    I think the new election results will be very uplifting for lots of us. I think the Senate is within reach, and this is the first time I’ve said that out loud on the innertubes. We have done far more donating for house candidates… there are so many of those folks, and we have so many interesting and well qualified candidates in the running.

    But I have kicked in for a few Senate candidates, in AZ, where we look to be a win, and in Nevada. So hoping hard!

    Tick Tock, motherfuckers!! Read those tea leaves and weep!!!
