Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

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

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Thread on that problem:


IIRC, ‘chartered accountants’ are what we Americans call ‘actuaries’…


… it may not be a great joke, but considering all the rude things said about actuaries’ pitiful lack of humor…

    From the Australian Dept of Health:

    ‘As at 3:00pm on 3 June 2020, a total of 7,229 cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Australia, including 102 deaths and 6,640 have been reported as recovered from COVID-19.

    • Over the past week, there has been an average of 13 new cases reported each day. Of the newly reported cases, the majority have been from Victoria.
    • Of cases with a reported place of acquisition, 62% have recent international travel history, including over 1,300 cases associated with cruise ships.
    • To date, over 1,512,500 tests have been conducted nationally. Of those tests conducted 0.5% have been positive.’

    8 new cases today, all but 1 in Victoria. 25 are in hospital, 5 in ICU and 2 ventilated.

    Malaysia’s daily numbers. 93 new cases, of which only two are Malaysians and none are imported cases. The spike today is due to 55 detainees at Bukit Jalil immigration detention centre and 36 foreign workers — sounds like an employer (or more) had their foreign workers tested and some results came back positive. Total 7,970 cases.

    61 more patients recovered , total 6,531 rcovered or 81.94 % of all cases. Of 1,324 active cases, six are in ICU and two of those are on ventilators. No deaths for the 12th straight day, total still 15. Infection fatality rate 1.44%, case fatality rate 1.73%.

    I have an idea that the American equivalent is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Actuaries are a whole other species.

    Well, since I twisted my knee I’ve been taking large doses of ibuprofen for the pain, so yay if I catch covid-19?

    @terben: You are correct. And the distinction is important for a joke in The Economist years ago: “Actuaries are people who cannot stand the excitement of chartered accountancy”

    @montanareddog: LOL. I once temped for a nice office full of accountants. One fellow was on vacation, and for a week I was told, “You’re so funny! You will appreciate when that guy comes back.”

    He was a wild fellow, all right. He wore a red tie.
