Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Bark louder, little dog.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

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

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

Everybody saw this coming.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

The words do not have to be perfect.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

All your base are belong to Tunch.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Not all heroes wear capes.

This blog will pay for itself.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

    OMG miraculous. What great news! My dad had a series of small strokes in the late 90s and then again about 10 years later. Amazing how much more that could be done even in that span– I am hopeful treatments have continued to improve at that pace. All paws crossed for Minna!!

    Great!

    @Yutsano: When I first came to BJ, I was under the impression that you and she were a couple in real life and you used the comment threads here as love talk.

    In other fine news:

    Gavin Newsom will pass 600,000 small donations for more than $13 million. 90% from Californians. He has 20,000+ vols, and 9,500+ in a volunteer Slack – they’ve sent more than 40 million texts. All in 6 months. Compares favorably to almost all presidential campaigns. https://t.co/I20paxpUfl

    New: Gavin Newsom’s surge to the recall finish line has been powered by a mountain of big money.

    More than $48 million from $100,000+ donations.

    He’s outspent his whole 2018 election.https://t.co/Aguagwh1xV

    Wonderful news. I hope it portends more good things to come.

    In handegg news, Farley is having too much fun over the Ducks defeat of the Buckeyes. It’s always a good day when the Buckeyes lose, except when playing SEC. #FuckYouCorpseOfWoodyHayes

    I actually had a stroke back in 2011, (at age 53!), and my recovery was a very long, incredibly strange journey, with equally strange fantasies and dreams. (I’ve never mentioned it here, til now, because I’m just not wired that way.) But all my best to Asiangrrl, for a complete recovery.

    Great news. One of my dad’s best friends had a terrible stroke, and recovered to have her annual Bastille Day picnic for many years. So expecting Asiangurrl to make a clean and full recovery! YaY!!
