Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

No one could have predicted…

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Alternative history is always a weak argument. Always.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

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

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

Everybody saw this coming.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it’s a trap.

The choice is between normal and crazy.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Books are my comfort food!

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

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

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

Anyone Interested in Another NYC Meet-Up?

by | 15 Comments

This post is in: ,

A proposal from commentor RedDirtGirl:

There seems to be some interest in a NYC meet-up, to welcome M4 to the area, and celebrate HeleninEire’s return.

I’m thinking about possibly the last Sunday in February, the 24th, at around 3pm in Manhattan somewhere south of 34th Street.

Can we put up a post at some point in the near future to gauge the broader appeal of such an endeavor?

    Bill and I would be interested, blanking on where to suggest (Waterfront at 30th & 2nd or Failte across the avenue are all I’m coming up with) but would love to be part of the welcoming crew.

    Hooray! Doesn’t have to be that day, but I find it’s often best to start with something to work with and then go from there!

    I would be up for the following weekend. Which would be Saturday, March 2 or Sunday, March 3rd.

    But go with the date that works for the most people.

    I would prefer the following weekend as well (although my general preference would to also be either a Thursday/Friday evening or Saturday afternoon, as opposed to a Sunday). Not fussed regardless of whatever folks are thinking, and agnostic locationally as well (although would prefer not too downtown or uptown, and in Manhattan).

    I’d be interested, even to venture into Manhattan on a weekend, especially to meet M4 and HelenInErie. February 24 is almost a holiday (the day before my birthday ?) but I’m open to another date.

    The following weekend is fine for me as well, but it would have to be Sunday rather than Saturday. Keep throwing dates out. It doesn’t have to be the weekend.

    On a related note, do we have any rust belt Juicers in the vicinity of Ravenna, Ohio? I will be there sometime in the next month or so.

    Not sure if anyone is still checking out this thread, but have definitely gotten some interest and will strategize a bit more and ask AL to post again during prime time so we can lock this in. See you all then!
