Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

How stupid are these people?

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Books are my comfort food!

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

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

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

You cannot shame the shameless.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

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

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

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

    Megyn McArdle was daring you yesterday to come out of retirement and critique her latest defense of the whackos.

    @JPL: Life is too short.

    And I have another 40,000 words to get into shitty-first-draft shape by the end of the summer. No time for McArdle-gigging.

    This really was a moment’s respite — four minutes later and Adam is sounding an alarm.

    Go the way of the Russian warship is a great phrase.

    Please show her the respect she deserves (none).  Her name is Megan McArgleBargle.

    @Ohio Mom: Meh on the Adam. I thought he’d be posting about what appears to be the beginning of the Ukrainian counter-attacking phase. I guess I’ll have to stay up late for that.

    Anyway, now “go the way of the russian warship” will have to be more specific, as it appears that the Admiral Makarov is joining the Moskva on the bottom of the Black Sea (subject to independent confirmation.)

    @Gin & Tonic: Admiral Makarov is/was a modern (2017) frigate and some people were amused that the namesake for the ship was born in Ukraine.

    @Gin & Tonic: I would be very happy to post your take on the counter-attack and/or the significance of sinking the warships and/or anything else you have to say on Ukraine.

    Really good to get multiple perspectives.

    @Mike in NC: Most excellent news.  And the weekend is just starting. I may also start practicing saying “make like a Russian warship”.  Two smiles.

    @JPL: Popehat has it covered.

    As Meghan McCain's book tanks, a flashback to the time 11 years ago she used Snell & Wilmer to make vexatious litigation threats to Red State over a clearly protected parody of her execrable writing https://t.co/2JSoYhphO0

    Cheers,

    @Another Scott:

    A taste.

    Perhaps he thinks people who want to read Meghan McCain’s work non-ironically are unusually stupid; this doesn’t help him either, because the test is what a reasonable person would think, not what a McCain fan would think.

    [ snort! ]

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    Tim Mak:

    I can’t count just how many Ukrainians I’ve spoken to who, in casual conversation, now use…

    …”go the way of the Russian warship!” as a polite substitute for “eff off!”

    I am the only one wondering why so many Ukrainians are using this in casual conversation with Tim Mak?
