Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Second rate reporter says what?

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

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

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

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

    Like how Lou is marking that oat grass:  “Mine!  This is all mine!”

    PS: I want to see more Tic Tac Toe with Kitty.

    I had to build our kitty Charlotte a pillow fort on the couch in my home office so she would let me get some work done. Silly kitty. ?

    Decided to try cooking up some skinless chicken breasts simmered in an orzo soy broth with a side kale salad.

    I’m kidding. I’m reheating nachos.

    I am very bad at working from home, because I am very good at lying about my place, and not at all being productive

     

    Edit: When will my employer notice?

    Who doesn’t? Waves hand in air like Arnold Horshack.

    Dog story okay?

    Hello. Did somebody say they needed a heartwarming story from the coronavirus era? Okay, fine.

    Let me start by saying that I am not a particularly melodramatic guy, but I just don’t know how to tell this story without turning to pure mush. (1/11)

    Shhhh! Quiet please. There’s a 12 year old boy earnestly reading his book report. I’m not sure why Sully from Monsters Inc and a … Realtor? are there. All the more reason to listen in.

    @WereBear:

    Exactly! ?

    Poor Keaton has been a little anxious because we’ve thrown off his routine, but he went into his den for a good long nap this morning, so I’m hoping that he’s finally starting to adjust to the new normal.

    Haven’t seen that wild looking hound at the top of a post for a while. I like the look of urgency on his face, like he wants to tell us something.

    That lego cat living room only has two more cats than our house. Imagine them animated. Spouse right now has three of them sitting on him and a fourth thinking about also climbing aboard. Cat five is upstairs asleep on the bed with me.

    @Miss Bianca:

    Exactly. Toaster cat has a cumulative effect that rewards multiple viewings. Very similar to the little dog-leaping cats GIF of a couple months back.

    From our inapt email subject lines department, sent from a college track and field recruitment company:

    “Coronavirus recruiting update”

    For some reason they’re having a hard time filling their fall recruit targets.

    We have a toaster cat.  Our poor Mason just FREAKED OUT and jumped away from the toaster and off the counter a few years ago.  Hilarity ensued, etc.  Turns out we blew it by not getting it on video – Mason coulda been famous.  He coulda been somebody.

    Someday I might surprise my cats with a room full of Lego cats. Blind one wouldn’t notice except for the new impediments to his travels, but the others might be outraged. Some hissing, and EVERYONE will be spraying.Something to look forward to. So there you guys who wake me at 3 a.m. to be fed.

    This morning, early, rottmix climbed into my bed. Husband had gotten up and gone to the bathroom, and rottmix was alone in the hall with a tuxedo cat! So she climbed into bed with me. When husband emerged and went downstairs for coffee the rottmix followed him.

    Tuxedo jumped into bed with me, then sniffed the bed disdainfully. (This bed smells of rottweiler.)

    Of course it does, you idiot cat. Quit tormenting the dog and she will stay out of our bed.

    @WereBear:   I love to see it.  Appealing little kitteh.

    Was trying to get a peek out your window, whether you had snow on the ground or not.

    Ingredients for challah loaf in the super duper bread machine. Thought to mix it up a bit this time and threw in a couple of pinches of saffron*. Cottage gonna smell really good over the next few hours.

    *Yes, it’s wildly pricey. Keep it in the larder and use it sparingly on extra-special occasions, which this isn’t, but haven’t had a reason to use for a lo-o-o-ong time, so splurged just this once.

    @WereBear: I had violet ice cream in Montpelier, France. It was to die for. I have been looking for edible violet goodies ever since. There is even a violet liqueur.

    @WereBear:   They are a favorite of mine too, because they are so fleeting.

    These are wild volunteers.  They are riotous this year.
