Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let there be snark.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

I was promised a recession.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Come on, man.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

I am pretty sure Katy Tur wasn’t always such a bootlicking sycophant.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

    I just stopped in to see if anyone had posted an open thread. Glad to see Cole is on top of it. Back to writing. The muses have finally unlocked the safe, so I’m taking advantage before they lock up all the ideas again. Nice night to write, gentle rain falling, cats snoring next to me.

    This makes me want some ice cream.

    “Smithers! I am really enjoying this iced cream!”

    I bought a 2019 Honda Insight EX today. The 2011 Fit has 209000 miles on it and needs new rear brakes. The dealer wouldn’t touch it for a trade-in, but the salesman wants to buy it for his nephew’s first car. With the brakes fixed, it should go another couple of years.
    I like the Insight; it’s a standard hybrid because I don’t have any place at home to plug in a plugin.

    Suggestions on what to do Monday in LA? I have 5 hours to kill from arrival to mixer, then 2 hours before I leave at 1 am.

    Sorry I dozed off.

    S’okay.

    Has anyone else noticed YouTube getting obnoxiously in their faces with adverts in the past day or so, or did I mess with one setting too many?

    @Amir Khalid: No, haven’t. I have an adblocker with teeth, but I didn’t think it stretched to YouTube. Otoh, I don’t look at a lot of the currently hottest stuff.

    I just went to YouTube, clicked on the Jon Hamm/David Tennant interview that popped up. From May 28th, “only” 850+K hits. No ads. Checked out Maru NEW! posted June 7th – love that boy. No ads. Colbert dissing Trump last night, no ads.

    Maybe you’re getting screwed by something more local? What you’re describing would drive up me the wall in a very few minutes. Hope you can find a way around it at least.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA: , I want those star trails onna giant blanket on my bed. Or the slightly dialed-back version that pops up of a second before the full load of the current picture. Either way, it’s veryvery cool, and I’d want some of the counter-curve earth on the cloth too. (And no, that’s not meant to diss you as a serious photographer, it’s an added compliment.)

    @SectionH: Uh, uh…I think I can get it put on a mug. That star trail is sort of a byproduct of the timelapse that I was shooting. I shot a star trail facing north, the timelapse was of the Milky Way rising in the east. Well since I had 360 shots of stars over time, why not try star trails too. I still am not completely happy with the foreground, there’s just too much light on the road.

    We have a VW Tiguan, 2013, with 40K on it. I also have a MB C300, 2011, with only 30K on it. No longer commuting to work every day. With only 1 or 2 or sometimes 3 trips to town now, instead of 5 every week, plus weekend entertainment trips, we booked lots of miles pre-retirement. LOTS of miles! No more, thank dog.

    There’s also my dad’s roadster, 1990 with 30K on it. Being a topless car, practically, it only comes out for pretty day drives a few times in the summer.
