Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Republicans in disarray!

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

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

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

I was promised a recession.

    Not so quiet here because my new-ish kitty (almost 4 months together) learned to tell time very quickly and knows that as it’s getting near 6pm, that means dinner time, and she starts yapping at me to give her meats. It’s kind of amazing, really, because she knew what time it was before the clocks went forward and after, even though it was dark at this time a couple months ago and now it’s broad daylight. Cats, man.

    Your kitties are always so gorgeous, rue!  So glad you have them.

    Both are quite popular choices for the stickers in the shot threads!

    edit:

    OT, but I am closing the computer for the night, so I’ll just leave this reminder here.

    If you want to join the zoom with FOUR DIRECTIONS and haven’t RSVP’d yet, send me an email.  The zoom is tomorrow night (Wed, 7:30 blog time).  We have about 20 RSVPs so far, I’m guessing we’ll end up with about 25 BJ peeps.

    So I was going to photograph the lunar eclipse tomorrow morning.  Checked the weather yesterday and Lockwood Valley looked good.  Twelve hours pass and Lockwood Valley and every other dark place have cloud cover.  No eclipse photography.

    If it looks good here when it’s happening, I might drive up to the housing development up in the Verdugos, but I’m bummed, I had some interesting ideas.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA:

    Weather and astronomy, sometimes it doesn’t work out.

    For that solar eclipse a few years ago, we drove into western Kentucky, had a room at a nice hotel up on the Ohio river.

    Then the morning of the eclipse we drove down south into the band of totality. There were a few clouds, but over all good visiblity. We stopped at a wide spot beside the road, and some folks who had driven all the way south and east from St Louis because of the weather joined us. Some had flown thousands of miles to make the show!

    I had two bottles of champagne on ice, which we all drank after the action was over. Was great! Traffic was jammed up all over KY that day!!
