Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Please don’t feed the bears.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

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

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. Do not congratulate. This is not business as usual.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Samwise will be too busy doing this to make it…

…but for the rest of us, here are the details one last time!

The place: Tír na Nóg, 254 W. 31st Street
(across from Penn Station, just east of 8th Avenue)

The time: Beginning at 6 p.m.

Should you need it to find the table, reservations have been made under the name Jack Alfolk. (Say it out loud.)

Looking forward to schmoozin’ with y’all.

I may be as late a 7:00, but I have faith you will all survive the harrowing hour before I appear.

Open thread, I suppose!

    Alas, I shan’t be anywhere near until next week. I will be a short train ride away in Baltimore, but not tonight.

    @imonlylurking: I’m actually planning on being in Minneapolis on my birthday Oct 30. But only for that night and it’s a Wednesday.

    Having said that, I MIGHT be able to lure out an AsianGRRL…

    I left my email in the previous meet up thread, if there are latecomers who want to check on our status before heading over.

    REGRETS–after having said I’d be there, I’m having a sudden workflow crunch that I’m going to be dealing with all weekend. Damn! Had really looked forward to this. Hope everyone has a good time & puts the republic aright. I’ll look forward, with a pang, to the photographic proof of life. Salud, all!

    @Miss Bianca: You’d get a warm welcome from me but , currently, the phrase, “out the frying pan into the fire” comes to mind!
