Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

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

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

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

Innocent people do not delay justice.

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Let there be snark.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

I love the botanical gardens. These are from one trip to the NYBG this spring which included the annual orchid show and one to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden during the beginning of cherry blossom season. The BBG had its indoor spaces open for the first time since COVID so my family saw the bonsai tree room for the first time.

    Ever the curmudgeon, “when shewn the botanical garden,” Dr. Johnson asked, “Is not EVERY garden a botanical garden?”

    Very enjoyable and am taking the ground ‘decor’ around your weeping cherry to use in my garden, so thanks for that, too.

    桜 ! Inasmuch as I am a winter person, I always enjoy when the sakura trees come out in spring. It’s little wonder that the Japanese made a whole festival around the return of the cherry tree blossoms.
