Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

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

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

This blog will pay for itself.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Everybody saw this coming.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

He really is that stupid.

No one could have predicted…

Usually wrong but never in doubt

    You know the guys that did that work were probably Latinos who made fun of him in Spanish all day long.

    This is cool except that 11th grade Conan O’Brien had neater printing than I’ve ever achieved:

    A few weeks ago on my podcast, I mentioned a letter I wrote to E.B. White when I was in high school. The good people at E. B. White's archives in @Cornell_Library managed to track that letter down. pic.twitter.com/bLivTJrEA2— Conan O'Brien (@ConanOBrien) December 5, 2019

    E.B. White was kind enough to respond to my letter. I have this letter framed in my home and I still read it often. pic.twitter.com/ItZ7XIkVse— Conan O'Brien (@ConanOBrien) December 5, 2019

    One of the more amusing things living in NYC was watching a much younger Trump try and buy himself into the NYC upper class and them having none of it. Trump thought the folks giving big piles of money to the Met would be impressed by him. They just laughed at the rich garbage boy like world leaders do. That’s basically been his entire life.

    People buy Lambos for the same effect. They’re shitty cars, but you can’t miss them, and that’s why they exist.

    Mr Rambo Lambo is missing a trick by not shipping that monstrosity (and its car) over to this side of the Atlantic. The Guardian and/or BBC would snap him up as an ‘independent commentator on how Labour’s anti-Semitism problem looks from abroad” before you could say “Two Felons, One Hood”.

     

    Why yes I am thoroughly disgusted with the British Media’s complete abdication of electoral anti-bias guidelines, why do you ask?

    Well, I made the mistake of lying down to “rest my eyes” for a bit at 8:00, which led to a three-hour nap, which led to, well, here I am. Been awake for hours, reading in bed. Not conducive to going back to sleep. So I made a cup of artisanal, fair-trade Trader Joe’s instant coffee, and I’m having that with a few pieces of their tasty rugelach.

    The housecat was delighted to get a late-late/​early-early snack.

    @Steeplejack:  I, too, would be delighted to get a late-late/​early-early snack.  I am hungry!  I woke up out of a sound sleep, got my computer and found that the site had just gone down.  I must have felt the disturbance in the force.  Going back to bed.

    I woke up and realized I have  to get the credit card bill out tomorrow (well, today, now) or it’s not going to make it on time.  So I’m up doing that before trying to get back to bed.

     

    That is an ugly, ugly car.  My 9-year-old watches a number of YouTubers and one of them, barely 21 years old, owns a Lamborghini.   Just as Robin Williams said of cocaine, Lamborghinis are also God’s way of telling a person they have too much money.

    The woman in the middle is almost a ringer for the Peloton woman.

    AFTER clicking your link and watching the controversial ad AND then re-watching the original gin commercial, which now made a lot more sense, and AFTER googling Ryan Reynolds to see what his connection to the gin is, and AFTER reading an article, I discovered that the woman in the middle isn’t a ringer for the original woman from the exercise bike commercial.  He actually got the original woman to be in his commercial.  I see why you guys like RR so much.

    And yes, I really do need to get out more.

    @Nicole:
    My 3½-year-old nephew has been in a long phase of car and truck mania. Always has at least one toy car in his hands, and he practically squee’d himself senseless when he found that his Halloween costume was a Lightning McQueen suit. (One of the aunties got him that.) At Thanksgiving, when they were going around the table saying what they were thankful for, he said: “I’m thankful for . . . cars.” Of course.

    Since I’m already up, I figure I’ll hit the grocery very early, come home and go into bunker mode for the weekend.

     

    I thought I did it all yesterday, but I outsmarted myself and went to Trader Joe’s, which doesn’t carry some things I need (and forgot about). Grr.

     

    In positive food news, a guy told me yesterday that a “super” Giant (aspiring to Wegmans status) is going in the space where my longtime grocery closed in August. Supposed to open in mid-February.

     

    I have been surprised at how much the closing of the old one has disrupted my schedule. There are other groceries around, but I still have trouble getting the hang of them, and the old one (Shoppers) was pretty nice.

    @Steeplejack: the thread is hilarious. I’m pretty sure it is the same chick. Someone bitching about it (the gin commercial) was a  non union commercial and that she was a scab.

    I think I woke up every hour on the hour last night. Finally gave up and just got up at 4:30 anyway. Dogs have been out, coffee made, now hoping I don’t doze back off because I have to be at the market in an hour and a half. Very thick frost outside too, have to warm up the car before I go.

    @Steeplejack: they’re so adorable at that age.

    @satby:

    I was awake in bed for a long time before getting up. Cycled through reading on the phone, trying to go back to sleep and reviewing past life mistakes and dwindling future prospects. Oof. Better to get up and do it with coffee and a nosh. Plus the housecat is dozing at her workstation and accepting skritches.

    @OzarkHillbilly: early morning, candlelight (outside dawn light on the porch in summer), fresh coffee… My favorite time of the day. Quiet, peaceful and yet spent with my online friends where we can greet each other and chat.

    satby

    @Steeplejack: yeah, sometimes better to just get up and interrupt the non-productive rumination. And a Saturday nap can be pleasant too (as long as it isn’t so late you’re awake the next night ?.)

  36. 36.

    Steeplejack

    @satby:
    Nap time is good time!

    I didn’t get one yesterday, which is probably why I flaked out at 8:00. Usually an hour or so in the afternoon sets me up for a late evening.

  37. 37.

    OzarkHillbilly

    @satby:  I love the early AM hours. It’s why I continue to get up at 3:30 long after I no longer have an hour and half commute.

    @Steeplejack:

    That’s adorable! When my kid was in kindergarten, the class did a little audio and picture presentation of things they were thankful for around Thanksgiving. The other kids said they were thankful for their family, their mom, etc. Very sweet and moving. Mine said he was thankful for ankylosaurus.

    @Nicole:

    Priorities.

    The other big moment in my nephew’s life was last summer when the family was taking the car ferry from Rehoboth Beach to Cape May. He perked up as they approached the ferry port—all the cars and trucks! Then he saw the big boat! Then he saw the cars and trucks were going on the boat! In the boat! And then the trip with all the boat noises. Epic.

  40. 40.

    Nicole

    @Steeplejack: Awwwww…

    In all honesty though, I was a bit older than he the first time I saw a car ferry and my mind was blown, too.  A car on a boat? What magic is this?

    What kind of rich idiot has not picked up the anti Semitisim of some of Trump’s supporters? It’s dangerous for Jews to associate with Trump. It’s dangerous for Jews for Trump to exist actually.

    i also think it is idiotic for Israel to have supported the GOP. There is going to be blowback.

    wow. Thanks for searching all that out. Now I too am super impressed by RR.  I love the first Aviation Gin ad, as well.

    and excellent job on the site rebuild!

    @Steeplejack: … a “super” Giant (aspiring to Wegmans status) is going in the space where my longtime grocery closed in August

    “Giant” as in Giant Foods of Landover MD? Owned by a Dutch company named Ahold that’s run by a bunch of a-holes?

     

    If so, do not trust them father than you can throw the store. Once in a not-so-super Giant I stumbled onto a situation where they’d completely fucked up the unit pricing labels. And those labels came directly from the geenyusses in Landover, so those prices were wrong in every one of their stores.

    @Steeplejack:

     

    Aviation Gin is my new brand!

     

    I tried it, and liked it. But it seemed expensive for what I got. I also like Nolens Dutch Gin, Hendricks, and most recently a Japanese Gin called Roku, made by Suntory. Much less expensive than Aviation Gin, so now my go to at the spirits store.

  54. 54.

    Steeplejack

    @J R in WV:
    I was joking. I didn’t even know Aviation was a real brand! I’ve been drinking Hendrick’s for a while. I’ll check out Roku.

    How does an “insurance adjuster” afford a Lambo? I work in insurance. I know what they make. Trust me, it’s not Lambo money.

    @Steeplejack:

     

    Every bottle of Aviation Gin is handcrafted in small 100-case batches by a small, dedicated team of master distillers in Portland, Oregon. Like the world’s finest gins, Aviation is distilled using a proprietary maceration process that produces a pure medley of botanical flavor.

    @WaterGirl: if you want some more fun the Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman “feud/prank war”  is pretty good.

    it’s up there with the Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel “feud”.
