Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This blog will pay for itself.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

T R E 4 5 O N

The frogs are rarely mistaken.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

This really is a full service blog.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Donald Trump, welcome to your everything, everywhere, all at once.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

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

Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.

When to mask up?

—Feeling sick
—Exposed to someone who was sick
—Immunocompromised and concerned about exposure
—Concerned about exposure, even if you're not immunocompromised
—If you want to avoid a cold nose in the winter or sunburn in summer
—When you feel like it.

FYWP is not allowing me to upload *any* screenshots right now (thank Murphy the Trickster God I already put together the Garden Chat). Hopefully, this is just an updating-the-servers-on-the-weekend glitch, because I don’t want to keep niggling with these ‘workarounds’ any more than you want to be subjected to them!

    BA.2 seems like it’s headed to north America. I’m not sure how tweeting the US experiencing a nadir in COVID is helpful w/o a big fat caveat. A COVID caveat.
