Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

I really should read my own blog.

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

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

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

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

The revolution will be supervised.

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

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

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

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

I was promised a recession.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Well, we have heard from NotMax and JAFD – sounds like the meetup was a success!

What a great-looking group, and I’m loving all the pinks and purples in the photos.

NotMax

Not a throng but what was there was, to quote Spencer Tracy, cherce. Good people, good conversation.

Predictions of thunderstorms but at Bryant Park it was clear and sunny, with only the occasional spot of damp pavement as evidence of any inclemency earlier in the day. Lawn dry where the concert audience was spread out.

Couple of proof of life pictures attached.

NYC Meetup Last Night!
Eddie Blake, Major Major Major Major, and a JAFD leg, I believe.

JAFD:

And a fine old time we did have. Sorry you  [Subaru Diane] (and everyone of the jackaltariat who would have liked to come) couldn’t be there.

Early tonight am crashing, pictures will send to WaterGirl tomorrow when energy points restored.

Have great weekend, and stay well, everyone!

I will add photos from JAFD as soon as I receive them.

Open thread.

    Nice-looking bunch, and from what I know about at least some of those folks, I’ll bet the conversation was nonstop, wide-ranging, and supremely interesting!

    @kalakal: Yeah, I had totally missed all of the back-and-forth in the thread yesterday – “I’m here but I don’t see anyone”.  I’m sure it was a bonding experience for all. :-)

    Good to see everyone safe and sound. I had seen in the NY Post that you had all been mugged by coked-up asylum seekers bused in from Texas.

    Note for Caroline and Ivan X should they read this thread:

    Was mistaken as to what the eighth language is, it’s Italian.

    “Mahalo,” I take it, is “thanks”?

    Always been curious: are you fluent in the Hawai’ian language?

    @NotMax:

    My #31 was intended for you, in case it wasn’t clear.

    Would have loved to be in NYC with all y’all tonight.

    @eclare: We did that 10 years ago. I caught my biggest fish I’ll ever catch on the Die Hard Extreme Sportfishing out of Lahaina!
