Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

I really should read my own blog.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

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

The revolution will be supervised.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

    Reposted from below: At my mother-in-law’s watching the extended Rudbek family playing Monopoly, and realizing that my circular knitting needles are going to break at the joints between cord and needles. So I need to dig a project out of hibernation or start another one tomorrow, so that I don’t get into a big fight with my eldest brother-in-law.

    Watching Freemans Mind (one of our holiday traditions) and doing a holiday Dwarf Fortress playthrough, something that used to be a tradition of mine until an annual work project required me to work through the holidays every year, but this year, I can’t do that project because of reasons. So I’m digging out a fortress, and it’s not going great because I’m a bit too ambitious and everyone is unhappy.

    @Gin & Tonic: Generally by the time a holiday come by, we’re so fucking sick of the commercialization of the holiday that we want nothing to do with any of the traditional activities. So, we build our own traditions. They’re weird, but we like them.

    I am drinking eggnog, though.

    Anne Laurie, always my favorite poster. I was genuinely surprised about the “Do You Hear What I Hear” relationship to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Yeah, the Cold War was the background noise and regular worrisome issue of the first 40 years of my life.

    And now we have Putin: a thoroughly corrupt resource capitalist but every bit a danger to this country since he owns our president who is practically an acknowledged traitor. Bad times but if we work hard, we might defeat this monster and the awful party that supports his corruption and treason.

    Happy Holidays.

    @NotMax: Don’t tempt me. :P

    Family gathering is winding down. Gonna jaunt home here soon. Glad I had today off to relax instead of being all tense rushing to the folks after work.

    Mele Kalikimaka y’all!

    Little ten month old imp got a tambourine and hooked up with the neighbor who has a bass.  Good times.    Oh before it is reported, the imp did steal the Santa hat from the bass and wore it proudly

    Merry Christmas, assorted Juicers of All Nations.

    Last night was the now traditional viewing of Arthur Christmas followed by the QI Christmas special. Currently watching the boy play WiI Resort (retro 6 year olds for the win) while slow roasting a lamb shoulder.

    Death to Tories. Gruesome maiming to their enablers. And a fantastic jolly bolly wobbly Holiday Season to the rest of Y’all.

    Last, I guess, also.

     

    Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all, and to all a good day!

    We don’t have Tories over here, but our home-grown fascists are bad enuff…
