Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

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

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Republicans don’t trust women.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

We Have a Tado Pupdate!

This post is in: , , , ,

Shaun just emailed me and M4 with a pupdate on Tado:

PapDad and his son picked Tado up about 1pm today. He’s on his way to his new life in Boston now.

These types of good things happen when you get an A+ in deportment from the groomers…

I’m not really sure if we’re supposed to leave a yelp review for the groomer or Tado.

So some good news for a change!

Look at that face!!!!!

That face is now on its way to floof all over PapDad’s neatly folded laundry!

With a floof floof here and a floof floof there,

Here a floof, there a floof, everywhere a floof floof.

Old MacFloofy floofed a floof, floof-ey, floof-ey, o!

Everyone remember to keep good thoughts for Shaun as he gets himself back to right, for Tado, and for PapDad’s clean laundry!

Open thread!

    Wow, that came together quickly! Kudos to all who are making this happen.

    I hope we will get further updates on Tado’s adventures, and also that we continue to hear from Shaun. We are all pulling for you.

    Good news! And Shaun, I know it’s bitter-sweet saying goodbye to your good friend, even though you know he’s going to a good home with people who will love him. You’ve done a good, selfless thing. It’s evidence of your strength. I know you are on your way to healing. All the love you saw getting your dog to his new home is here for you too.

    I just burst into tears.  Some jackal miracles happened between the last post and this.
    Shaun we are all rooting for you.  Please take care of yourself and let us know how we can support you.

    Tado and PapDad we are so happy for you both.

    Yay! For Tado & all his people. And all the thanks to the helpers, and wider community. How can I feel neurotic & miserable with world events, when a doggy gets a new loving home?

    A quick update for anyone who’s still following this thread. Shaun and I had a chance to talk, decided Tado was a good match for us, and he’s coming to Boston! I will be traveling to Texas this week to meet Shaun and pick up the pup. I want to thank everyone who so generously volunteered to help with transport or contributions, we should be set for now, but if you want to throw a few dollars to you local rescue organization instead that would be a great thing. I’ll give another quick update when we get Tado to his new home! :). PapDad

    This is a feeeeeeel goooooood story! Best to Shaun, PapDad and family, now including Tado.

    This is good news for sure. Thanks for posting, Adam. I’m sure Tado and PapDad have already started bonding. Shaun, I’m wishing you all the best. You’ll be very much in my thoughts.

    Genuinely good story all around, just so real and genuine:
    –Shaun, thank you for your honesty and courage during this rough time in your life; you have shown that you have great strength and wisdom–keep us updated–we’re all here for you
    –PapDad and fam, enjoy this lucky Tado–you took him in when it was needed–no question that Tado well give as much to you as well  :)
    –Thanks to Adam and everyone who helped facilitate this gentle exchange–this quiet, background, gentle action is like a thread of silk winding through these harsh times.

    @Ohio Mom: I’ll do a better job with commenting soon! I have lots of takes to share. I’m moving to NJ (Jersey City) on the 1st. I have a place to stay for March but I need to find a job up there pretty quickly. I have a BA in polo sci and speak several languages to various levels of competency. For now I need something low-key. I have had horrible family drama to deal with this past year, including a rupture in my relationship with a sibling. I also need to get out of Texas for my own sanity and safety.

    T his is so heartwarming: a senior dog finding a new loving home.  Thanks, PapDad!  May the two of you have many joyful times together.

    @Texasboyshaun: Oh, getting out of Texas alone should go a long way to making your life better!  Wishing you the very best of luck in this next step.

    @Texasboyshaun: I admit am very prejudiced — I was born in the Bronx and spent my formative years in Queens — Jersey City is a *much* better place all around than Texas.

    Everything a person needs can be found in the New York City area, in spades. Well, except for cheap housing. I wish I had some advice on that but I don’t. But you will find your way, I am sure.

    I could go on about siblings — my, how fraught those relationships can be — but I won’t, not now.

    You’ve heard all of us Juicers’ words of support — we will all be waiting for your progress report.

    Safe travels!

    Oh, I am so happy to hear this.  The best of wishes to Shaun and PapDad, and the lovely Tado!

    Tado is an older dog but also a sort of Nordic (spitz) breed dog.  Should be very happy in Boston where they have winter.

    I had a German Shepherd in Las Vegas, and she had no undercoat. She had minimal fur like a greyhound. She was always panting. Then I moved her to Ohio and she fluffed up like a normal German Shepherd. We couldn’t keep her inside when there was snow on the ground.

    So happy to hear that Tado has found a new home!  Congratulations, PapDad, on the latest member of your family.

    Best of luck to you, Shaun, on your move to NJ.  Hoping everything goes smoothly for you!

    Quick update from the road, we’re passing through western Pennsylvania with Tado in tow, hoping to get back to Boston later tonight.  Tado is an excellent travel companion, popping up periodically to take a look at our surroundings, but mostly quietly taking it easy in the backseat.  He’s a very smart and sweet pup, we are really looking forward to getting him home and giving him a chance to decompress and adjust :)  Again, thanks to Shaun, Adam and everyone who has been a part of this journey!
