Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

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

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

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

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

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

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

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

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

Second rate reporter says what?

The National Guard is not Batman.

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

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

    ‘@Layer8Problem You’re welcome. It was kind of nice knowing my ten-year-old colocated Mac mini was providing a little solace for a grieving (or at least massively annoyed) population.

    Oh well, back to hosting some activism, a couple of musician web sites, and half a terabyte of cute dog pictures.

    I think our temporary host is giving us the “visitors and fish” story stink eye while graciously showing us the door.

    Well thank you, and your colocated Mac mini, and WaterGirl, and everyone doing the recovery for us for all the work, adrenaline, and nail-biting. One never know what one has ’til you lose it.

    ‘@alang: thanks so much for the temporary digs, and I personally apologize for the stray Cheeto that fell behind the couch. I swear, I tried to reach down to pick it up.

    It’s been fine here. I will keep this bookmark on my list, but I look forward to spending time at Balloon-Juice again. Wish I had a clever quip, but no.
    So long.
