Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

White supremacy is terrorism.

I really should read my own blog.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about it’s history.”

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. Do not congratulate. This is not business as usual.

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

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

    I kept getting hung up on Adam’s post. It started to download, got stuck, and nothing else on the page worked. I was able to google the topics page and was able to pull up Betty’s afternoon post and the late night open thread without a problem.  However, when I tried the war on Ukraine topic, it got stuck again on Adam’s post.

     

    I am on an iPad using safari, but I did try duck duck go and had the same problem.

    This has been a test by the Jacket Broadcasting system.

    So after I posted above, I went back to the main page and it locked up again.     I turned off my iPad got back in, but will now see if it happens again.

    @emrys: At some point in there I made it so Adam’s post was on the front page, and now it’s off again.  Depending on your browser, that post may also still be in cache.

    So try reloading the Bj front page again – it should be fine now.

    Okay, I am going to put up an Open Thread.  People can add comments about whether the site is behaving or not here, and then there can be an Open Thread for general conversation.

    Locks up with my iPad. Works without problems on Chrome or Firefox on my Windows 11 desktop. Might be something to do with iOS Safari (which Apple insists must be the base engine of any iOS browser).

    It’s the middle of the night and I have temporarily set BJ to show only the top 3 posts.  For now, that’s the new Open thread, Test 7, and Anne Laurie’s late night post.

    So at least we’re functional again.

    Once the situation is resolved I’ll up that setting to show the usual top 7 posts.

    Still having problems, on iPhone 12 (IOS 15.5). Everything below Late Night Open Thread is Next Page. Adam’s post and the GOP Bullying post before it both load a few lines then hang. On Adam’s page, I can get a few more lines by repeatedly loading it, but not getting the whole thing.

    I suggest not using the front page for the time being. I hardly ever use it, and I am not experiencing any problems now. I use the “previous” and “next” functions to open posts in separate tabs.

    Holy shit! Did I skip class for the first six tests?

    Is it too late in the semester to withdraw?

    It’s 6:30 am here in beautiful Bloomington, Indiana.

    And the eagle flies at dawn.

    Had to put out an additional ground level water scarecrow. Two nights ago the raccoons returned in force, tore up three potted flowers on the deck, and destroyed over a half dozen big green tomatoes.

    To quote Gollum: “We hates them forever.”

    Still hanging on front page. iOS.
    Back and next works — if one can select a post.
