Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

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

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Republicans in disarray!

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

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

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

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

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

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

Today, pictures from valued commenter something fabulous.

Hey y’all! As the cupboard is bare, thought I’d share a few pix from a trip I took to Greece exactly a year ago, for my birthday. (It’s my birthday again! Or, will have been, by the time these post.) Was only there for a week of some friends’ much longer trip– they got to carry on to some island-hopping, which I missed. Even “just” Athens, Nafplio, and surrounding areas of interest were still quite a lot! Had a great time and hope to go back one day…

Entering Delphi

As you enter Delphi, there are so many things that are striking and moving– the handiwork of so many people, so long ago, still here for us

Delphi

This picture does not do justice to the scale– it’s quite overwhelming in person

Athens

For all the BJ animal peeps. This was just one of several times I got a snap of a cat lounging on a motorcycle or scooter like this, just chilling. Made me laugh every time.

    Pretty nice set of Grecian formula (heh) photography. The Cactus graffitti was pretty cute, too. Anyone who can tell us what’s carved on the big rock at Delphi, please do, that’s pretty interesting.

    Plus the kitty on that scooter is cute, and the scooter is pretty cool too!

    Thanks! It was a fun trip!

    Weirdly, I am seeing this post from John’s Twitter feed on the right, but not via the home page itself! Anyone else get that issue? (Figures, on a day I finally de-lurk!)
