Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

I really should read my own blog.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

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

“But what about the lurkers?”

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

The words do not have to be perfect.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Acts of Kindness: World Humanitarian Day

by | 3 Comments

This post is in: ,

Since I completely spaced Wednesday’s post (I was hiking all day in the mountains), here’s a bonus post for World Humanitarian Day.

Lots of great stories at the link:

Each year on 19 August, we pay tribute to the real-life heroes who commit their lives to helping others in times of crisis. The theme for World Humanitarian Day 2022 highlights the global solidarity at the heart of humanitarian relief efforts.

With the world facing overlapping crises – from the pandemic to armed conflict, climate change and growing inequality – there has never been more people in need of emergency assistance. Just as raising a child is a community effort, an entire humanitarian network is needed to deliver lifesaving help to people in crisis and put communities on a path to recovery and resilience.

One of UNDP’s contributions to this community is our SURGE Academy, which sends trained advisors to emergency situations around the globe. It’s a critical component of UNDP’s ability to deploy the right people at the right time during or after a crisis.
