Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Not all heroes wear capes.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

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

This blog will pay for itself.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

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

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

In after Baud. Damn.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

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

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

    Eating a remarkable amount of food and having gelato seems to be the kind of stuff you SHOULD be doing on a vacation.

    Be inspiring, sir, be inspiring!

    @Elizabelle: I have it on the best authority they’re doing fine too.

    @NotMax: I keep saying!! No Florida visit is complete without Cubanos and a grouper Sammie.

    And I continue on the train voyage of the damned. Now running 11 hours late. They keep us plied with food though, so it’s a tired but congenial crowd due to constant food coma.

    Where are you voyaging too?  Whereabouts are you now?

    @mrmoshpotato: on the Amtrak California Zephyr, currently switching crew and unloading passengers in Reno NV. Heading ultimately to Colfax, CA; where due to the delay I got a hotel, and my friend from down the road in Auburn CA will retrieve me in the morning. It’s all good. Definitely a scenic way to see the country and make new friends.

    @mrmoshpotato: slow, but steady. Looks like we’re going to be going through the Donner Pass next, and I can’t even enjoy any views, it’s pitch dark out.

    Usually no cell coverage either, so about to lose service soon.

    @mrmoshpotato: Not positive I went through that without checking the train route, but yes, it was daylight until we hit the long series of tunnels. By the end of that the sun had set.

    And one of my new besties is an 84 year old  man who was going to downhill ski.

    Waiting on a late night open thread. Got a few bits ‘n’ bobs plucked from Wednesday’s newsy stew and don’t want to harsh this thread’s mellow.

    If not they’ll keep until morning. Although the timestamp on morning threads has been all over the clockface recently, so sometimes Morpheus permits nought more than sampling the morning’s volute of commentary later on.

    @satby:  You are riding the rails.  Marvelous.  Where will you go next after your Auburn CA visit??

    Have fun.  Glad you saw some Rockies.  And snow, I guess

    ETA:  We will stay in touch via email.  Happy for you being off on your adventure!

    Meeting a bunch of people is one of the great things about train travel.

    It’s so good to get away once in a while!  Especially if you can enjoy being there with a good pal or two.
