Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

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

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

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

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Good morning everyone,

Today we rejoin a trip, already in progress!

 

 

From Blenheim, we went on to Oxford. We only had about three hours there, so we did not visit any of the colleges, choosing instead to have a leisurely lunch at the Turl Street Kitchen and wander around the town a bit.

The day after we visited Blenheim and Oxford, we went to Glastonbury, which was amazing.  The size of the monastery must have been incredible!

The front of the Ashmolean Museum.  It was a terrific place to visit, and the Pompeii exhibit was excellent.

    This is really my dream trip. I recognized all the Oxford locations due to obsessive viewing of Morse, Lewis, and the terrific Endeavour.

    Fabulous old town, and the ruins of the abbey are tremendous. Had no idea there was a tomb of King Arthur! We saw the tomb of El Cid in Spain, one of three said to be his tomb, anyways…

    I love Oxford and places around there like Tadsfield (lol, sorry no). Minster Lovell otoh…

    The Ashmolean is a very special place to me, because that’s where I got to see all the teeny tiny inscribed beads – they weren’t even scarabs – that Arthur Evans saw because he was That myopic.

    Otherwise it’s too personal.

    Me too. They walk by the Radcliffe Camera about 1000 times a day as they discuss the latest murder.
