Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

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

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

He really is that stupid.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

The lights are all blinking red.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

    I love that trampoline video.  I sent the rubber chicken video to my friend last night. I watched it about 10x.

    LOL. I loved that Tik Tok video. It must’ve been hard to get those dog toys to imitate Africa’s Toto so well

    Thank you AL!

    The cat is adorbs but yes it is the Toto homage that is the Internet content I needed this evening. The world is hot trash, yes, and I’m feeling kinda discouraged. So yeah, bring on the singing dog toys!

    I mentioned that someone in a black Benz backed into my car while I was at work last night.  While the damage looks bad is seems to have avoided the working parts of the car(lights work and it drives).

    @HumboldtBlue: Thanks that is awesome!

    BTW are you the one who has posted links at times from a cooking show called “from my ranch to your kitchen” or something like that?  Sorry my Spanish is minimal, don’t want to insult by remembering it wrong.

    If so, thanks!  Those are great videos.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA: Ouch.  :-(  Car damage is so stressful.

    Any chance at getting the store video to track down who did it and go after their insurance company?

    Good luck!

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    That kitty is so proud to snag the package!  My kitty did something funny the other day; I bought her one of those fluffy, round pet beds.  It’s in my sewing room so she can simultaneously supervise and nap.  I woke up the other morning and saw she had dragged the bed out of the sewing room to the door of the bedroom.  I took a picture and sent it to my husband.  He said it was there when he got up (he stepped on it in the dark and thought he stepped on the cat) so he left it there so I could see what she’d done.  I’m wondering if I should buy another and put it in the bedroom…

    Google just told me that the term “toilet paper” was first used in The New York Times on July 15, 1888.

    It didn’t tell me if it was in a recommendation on how to use the New York Times.

    Dang, those two are exemplars of cat and dog.

    We had a cat that would fetch things like that, but the problem was then he (or she… I forget) wanted to run and make us earn whatever he helpfully retrieved for us.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA: I should note, the person that left the note was a 3rd party witness.  The person in the Benz did not leave their info which is required by law, it’s basically a hit-and-run.  I’m going to check around and see if I see the car and leave them a note if I do.  If not, I’ll file a report with the Glendale Police.

    @Another Scott:

    Definitely sounds good to me, if it will pass constitutional muster, which isn’t a sure thing nowadays. It seems like a workaround though, relying on an administration being in office that will enforce the law that way. It’d be even better to have a federal law banning such a practice

    Too much sharing here:

    We have an Amana dryer. We clean the limt screen from the outside of the machine by pulling out a little tray on top of  the machine. I tried to pull the screen out today and let out a screech. The entire handle indentation was full of cat piss. Dobby and the girls have foumd a new place for their pissing turf battles. Fortunately none of it got into the dryer.

    @HumboldtBlue:  Yorkshire pudding isn’t difficult to make. It’s just a batter that you pour into hot grease (drippings from a standing rib roast, YUM!) and bake it.
    The batter is easy: 1 Cup of milk, 1Cup of flour, 2 eggs, and 1/2 tsp of salt. Beat all of that together and let it rest for about 30 minutes before pouring into the hot fat. It bakes while the roast rests.

    @divF: I played clarinet in a community orchestra one summer, in Pomona, CA. The director had us sight-read all of the music we’d be performing, just once through, then we walked onto the stage in White Park and gave a concert. It was exhilarating and sometimes terrifying: the music wasn’t easy.

    Leroy Anderson was the theme that summer, so we played the Typewriter Song, Sleigh Ride (in July), The Syncopated Clock, and other delights. We also tackled “In a Persian Market” by Albert Ketelbey, and “Tribute to Troy” by Ronald Broadwell. That last piece was challenging, IIRC.

    It’s late, yeah, but I just did some prep cooking and played Four Seasons (Vivaldi, not Four Treasons, Trump Motel) and I got done cooking before the music ended.

    I must listen to the end, yeah? That’s a rule, right?

    You can’t just stop at mid-autumn?

    Used to be a locally produced cooking show on Minneapolis-St. Paul TV hosted by a granny known as Mama D. Her four seasons were so frequently mentioned that she abbreviated them as SPOG.

    @eclare: It’s beautiful, but still not organized. We need to add some shelving for smaller things, and the power isn’t hooked up yet but I’m not sure we want to run a heater. We installed two small solar panels to run two fans under the automatic vents. The vents are opened and closed with a beeswax canister with a piston inserted. As the temp rises, the beeswax expands and pushes the piston out, to raise the vent panel, and when it cools down it reverses the action.
