Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Let there be snark.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

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

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

RIP Longcat

Early meme pioneer Longcat, real name Nobiko (“stretchy”?), has passed at the ripe old age of eighteen.

A lot’s changed on the Internet since 2005, when that picture went viral… but some things, such as the supremacy of felis catus, have not.

Here’s a thread by Longcat’s owner with dozens of adorable pictures from over the years. Machine translation suggests that they are distraught–feel free to leave them a nice note.

Open thread.

    @SectionH: Oh, edit time ran out. We just got back from a wonderful evening with “our kids” – meaning son, DiL, and granddaughter – for his birthday. My son and I both loved Cheeseburger back in the day,
    18’s a decent age for a cat, but I will follow up on condolences to his people as much as I can.

    my Satchmo went to rest on Saturday morning. He was nearing 19 years. I am sad and bereft and the world sucks all the more without him. He was such a tiny cat most thought he was just a kitten. Light as air with bird bones. He didn’t like people much, but he did tolerate me. I felt honored in that. Maybe he’ll find RBG in the ether. Tiny giants, they were.

    A very good cat. Long may his memory live.  Also, sometimes the older the animal is, the hardest the loss hits, as it does when you lose any long time friend.
