Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

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

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

White supremacy is terrorism.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

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!

    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 … Yarrow is fine. Just very busy.

    Thanks for checking, Adam.

    Best wishes, Yarrow, to both you and your dad.

    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!!!
