Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

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

“Squeaker” McCarthy

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

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

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

    Sean Doolittle is a class act and hopefully more Nationals players will follow his example.

    The Washington Nationals will be missing at least one major contributor when visiting the House on Monday.

    Closer Sean Doolittle told The Washington Post’s Jesse Dougherty on Friday that he does not plan to attend the team’s White House visit. Doolittle is the first member of the Nationals to publicly confirm he will not attend the event, currently scheduled for 1:15 p.m. ET on Monday.

    The White House announced the visit early in the morning on Friday, two days after the Nationals won their first-ever championship in seven games.

    In an interview with Dougherty, Doolittle cited Trump’s public conduct as the reason for his decision:

    Doolittle also reportedly cited Trump’s past violations of the Fair Housing Act, his treatment of the Central Park Five and his comments following the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, as well as his mocking of a disabled reporter.

    When it comes to athletes skipping visits to Trump’s White House, the refrain against them is often that they should simply respect the office of the president. Doolittle’s response is simply that Trump hasn’t respected the office himself:

    @mrmoshpotato: Conan is a military dog who took part in some way in the raid that killed al-Baghdadi. That’s mainly according to Trump’s own somewhat fanciful account of that raid, which also featured a lot of tough men calling him Sir and giving him a real-time account of how al-Baghdadi was crying and whimpering before death, etc. Then Trump continued to go on and on about the dog in the media and on Twitter, which is the only reason a lot of people have ever heard of the dog. And now Trump is complaining that the dog gets too much attention.

    This is one of the rare occasions when I briefly think: “No. No, he can’t be that fucking addled and broken and unaware and petty and childish. He’s trying to be funny. He’s actually trying to make a joke.” But then… the moment passes, alas, I think he was serious.

    Unlike Trumpov, the dog did something that deserves credit. Unlike the dog, Trumpov just sits and whines.

    All his orangeness needs now for his show is a pony!

    And, with all the shit he’s shoveling, tradition would have it that there must be a pony in there somewhere …… (not that a bull wouldn’t make more sense in hpthis particular instance).

    Pants? Surely you jest.

    My unlimited, Mariana Trench-deep detestation of Twitter is no secret, and periodically insists on coming out for air.

    @NotMax: I like Twitter, but not Facebook.

    And Facebook hates me back. It took me two months to get back in when they randomly revoked my credentials and now they are screwing around with Mr WereBear’s account. It is a good way for him to keep up with his international friends.

    @WereBear: Twitter’s been glitchy for the last day or so, and I know it’s not just me because I’ve seen others complain about it. One of my very favorite features, “mute this conversation,” isn’t shown as an option, which makes me sad.

    @WereBear

    Certainly am no lover nor any sort of fan of Facebook either (full disclosure: I’ve never been to any Facebook page nor to any Twitter page) but at least don’t normally encounter random somebodies’ Facebook stuff profusely copied and pasted all over the place.

    Up and slamming coffee before going to set up my new temporary space in the market… Because they decided I had to go before the board to get approved to move, again. So much drama over such paltry power, they could teach the academic world a thing or two. Nicer neighbors in the new spot though, so there’s that.
    I need to retire for real next year.

    @NotMax: unfortunately, that’s where people have moved if you want to read their content. I don’t even think TBogg does much long form stuff anymore, same with Jim Wright, his stuff is copy protected on FB more than he even posts to his own blog.

    Oh we are dealing with next level cult. You ever see Halloween be politicized? I’m checking out my son’s candy and wtf is this?

    WASF, even after he’s gone, they’ll still be around.

    @NotMax:

    Few things more aggravating than having to deal in business with inconsistent, capricious preening martinets.

    Fine tuned that statement. I’m told it’s just a formality and I have the votes.

    @satby: Sounds like the kinda shit that comes about because one asshole abused the process and this was the answer they came up with to ensure that kind of abuse never happened again.

    @OzarkHillbilly: those types have always been around, we just used to ignore them because they’re cranks and loonies. We need to get back to a place where they can be marginalized and ignorable again.

    @satby: They say that the reason the knives are so sharp, is that the pie is so small. At least, that’s what I always heard about academia.

    @satby: Jim has always been very protective, and rightly so.

    I’m just very wary of committing to Facebook, so I work Twitter and Instagram (which is also FB) but it is also completely counter-intuitive and they don’t care, either. Which offends me on a coding level :)

    @OzarkHillbilly: oh, I could tell stories… They have no written, documented process at all. No contracts (for owners, just renters), no consistency in approach…
    And though the president of the board verified my neighbor’s encroachment on my space, they ended up letting her extend her flooring into it and formalizing that. They are moving me as a simpler solution than enforcing her boundaries. Obviously, I’m sorry I bought.
    And on that cheery note, I gotta go set up my table.

    @satby: They were shamed into behaving like human beings. Now they’re loud and proud of being preening cocksucking, racist, motherfucking, women hating*, narcissistic pieces of shit who can’t wait to let their freak flag fly. They’re out of the lamp and they aren’t going back in. trump isn’t the problem, they are.

    @OzarkHillbilly: I agree that’s what they are, but they’ve always been around. Decent people are the majority, and as soon as we overcome them at the ballot box we can start putting them back under their rock.
    Because a lot of them are chickenshits and will go back to hiding rather than face the constant revulsion of their neighbors and families.

    Tried making fried chicken last night in the air fryer for the first time. Boneless thighs. Couldn’t be confused with real down home Southern fried chicken but reminiscent of that and mighty tasty in its own right, and certainly less to clean up afterward.

    @mrmoshpotato:

    Would you like a room-temp can of Coke that’s somehow flat?

    Marginally better than a room-temperature can of Diet Coke that’s been left out in the heat for so long** it’s not only flat but no longer sweetened.

    **At temps above 30 C (86 F) aspartame dissociates. IIRC one of the breakdown products is formaldehyde – but since the stuff is 100s of times sweeter than table sugar there’s so little of it you’d have to drink 100s of cans before it becomes a detectable health risk.

    Russians have some great proverbs.

    God is just, but, the judge could always use a few rubles.

    The German may seem a good fellow but it is better to hang him.

    The horseradish may not like it, but, when it must, it dances on the grater.
