Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Books are my comfort food!

We are aware of all internet traditions.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

    Those plaques look very familiar. My father retired to those parts and became involved in the local historical society. He’s been gone 20 years now, and I’ve not been back.

    A wonderful town, indeed.

    Beautiful place !! As a person who has struggled to maintain really old houses, I can’t help but wonder how hard it is to keep those beautiful old homes in shape. Looking at the old unmaintained standing seam roof on the old low house, hoping it can’t leak for the beauty keeping water out!

    I’m sure there are hundreds of small towns along the coast like that, that aren’t completely run over by development, condo towers, blown out by storms. When my folks spent winters in FLA we would drive up and down the coast, and deep into mysterious inland Florida, and there were lots of little towns that looked like that. That was in the late 70s and up to the early 90s.

    Having been back to FLA since then, I can say that the headlong stampede to pave the barrier islands and cover then with high-rise condos, leaving no reason to be in FLA but weather, with no old Florida left behind continues unabated. Obviously between Betsy and Betty Cracker we know there is old FLA and Old Southern homes and towns tucked away hidden. Perhaps we should take a wander on old rural roads down south while it still seems safe… We’ve always enjoyed the small towns of GA, SC and FL, even NC also too. Louisiana is sweet in places.
