Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Cancel the cowardly WaPo and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

The words do not have to be perfect.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

“Let’s not pretend [Trump] wants to engage in high-minded discourse.”

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

I really should read my own blog.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

    I had no idea so many different kinds of creatures were so fond of watermelon! Adorable videos.

    It’s a beautiful sunny 75 degree weather here today .. absolutely perfect.

    At a beer place in a warehouse area, outside  a perfect place to be with people discipled in social distancing and wearing masks!

    After a hot walk, I put ice cubes in my doggo’s water bowl. He delicately fishes them out, jauntily carries them onto the couch, and cronches them all over the place. Then I get to sit in ice shavings and cool my butt off. Win/win!

    Who doesn’t love watermelon?

    Drove out to a local farm today and got a mass of awesomely fresh peaches and veggies (broccoli, baby beets, corn and a couple beefsteak tomatoes, which we don’t grow). Also stopped at my sister’s to shake her blueberry bush and got about a pint of those. Tomorrow I’m going to make a peach and blueberry gallete. I have a spatchcocked chicken on the grill and we’re having that with corn and some rice. Tomorrow, it’s Demonicos with those beefsteaks stuffed with breadcrumbs and Gruyere and roasted beets. I’ll probably make a pasta with the broccoli and leftover chicken next week. I do love a summer harvest.

    Watching the second video, I did not know you could put a rat on a leash.  Then I found this article identifying them as African giant pouched rats.  They can sniff out landmines and diseases.  Apparently the ones at Point Defiance Zoo did not pass their certification test so they just hang out in their little harnesses at the zoo.

    I was going to make a joke about “hot” London weather, but it’s into the 90s there.

    Actual hot.

    Another Scott

    @Mike G: In July 2015 we were fortunate enough to vacation a couple of weeks in Switzerland.  During one of those horrible heat waves.  It was 32C (90F) in Murten (at 1500′ on a lake) at 11 AM.  It was warm enough on the Jungfraujoch that some people were hiking around on the glacier in short sleeves.

    :-(

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    @Major Major Major Major: My daughter had a couple of hamsters back in high school. They would get cross if they didn’t get their treats. And were vocal and appreciative when they did get them. Cute little buggers.
