Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

This fight is for everything.

Consistently wrong since 2002

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Acts of Kindness: Clearing Out The Archives

This post is in: , ,

Time for some more kindness.

I’ve been going through the backlog y’all have sent me and using up some of the older ones that have languished. I realized we may get some repeats because (please don’t remind John) we don’t have archives I can check and I may end up repeating a few. I delete them from my folder as I go, but I missed a few older ones and I can’t remember if I set them aside for “later” or posted and didn’t delete.  So I decided I’ll err on the side of “they didn’t get posted.”

Here you go.

From debbie – great girl dad:

================================

From albatrossity…wait for it:

===========================

Both Adam and Steeplejack sent me this not long after Gottfried died:

The entire story can be read here.

==========================

Bex sent in this sweet pup. Having had a 3-legged Great Dane, I can attest, it does not stop them:

===================================

From SiubhanDuinne (who sent me a bunch that I’m still dishing out slowly):

 

============================

Steeplejack again:

====================================

And finally, I ran across this one this week:

 

That’s it for this edition. I’m sorry I don’t have any cute critter pix for you. With Nora still in confinement and Nick completely distressed by it, which is distressing Trixie who doesn’t know how to help, I’ve got my hands full. Keep a good thought, if she lays a hard-shelled egg soon, I think we’ll be through the worst of it and she’ll be able to be outside again.

Until next time…

    Hate to go off topic, but Pat Cipollone (aka Patsy Bologna – thank you Betty on twitter) has been subpoenaed by the Jan 6 committee

    I’ll note that historically, a high percentage of gay couples who adopted kids ended up with the children no one else wanted to adopt. For exactly the reasons described by the Italian gay man.

    I checked my site archives/mirrors, both old and new site, for the urls in this post, and found no duplicates.

    I sent one to TaMara via email, but it bounced. Is there a better link for these items?

    I said it at the very end of an almost-dead thread, but our mutual friend Jen (the editor) says hi.

    I did some book coaching with her earlier this year, and we’re on FB together a lot.

    A true story.

    Stepsister, who is chockablock with stress — husband suffering through ALS, recent retirement, placing their
    three story NYC townhouse on the market in order to search for, find and plan to move to an apartment in an elevator building due to hubby’s condition, etc. (won’t belabor the point with a full list) realized they had over decades accumulated way too many books to transport when they finally relocate to new digs.

    She somehow found the time and energy to set up a book sales table in the neighborhood post-Dobbs and managed to rake in a goodly penny by advertising that all proceeds would be donated to Planned Parenthood, which they were.

    @zhena gogolia:

    Technically, it pre-dates “Bridgerton” since they did a short proof of concept version with a diverse cast to raise funding before that show aired, but I’m sure they were able to secure the final funding because “Bridgerton” was a hit.
