Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

This fight is for everything.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

    Nice trim, John. Your looks are beginning to live up to your gorgeous speaking voice.

    Nice do, there, John: reminds me I’ve gotta get my post-pandemic trim evened out.

    I liked the before, grumpy Santa look. The after reminded me of Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes) with his hair combed for a Christmas photo

    Both have its charm, FWIW.

    I’d sit down and have a soda with you. I too have a bit of a big head (7-5/8″ hat) but I can still swim upright.

    You look good, Cole.  Much better even if I am mostly anti-facial hair.  It looks well groomed now.  I’d marry you.  And eventually get you to drop the beard.

    Hair looks good.

    I think it’s just weird lighting between those pictures, but in the first one, your skin looks super-red, and in the second one, you look really pale. If you really are either of those things (under normal light), a dermatologist can help you out!

    @Suzanne: Dang, if you think he looks pale in the second photo, I wonder what that makes me. Compared to my nigh-translucent skin, John looks like he’s been chasing that rolling Gloucester cheese around the surface of the sun.

    Naturally melanin-deficient plus not having been in the sun in close to two years has an impact, I guess.

    FSM bless John Cole and all jackals, cats, dogs, ducks, chicks, chickens, and all creatures great and small. And show love and favor to Joelle (please correct me if needed) and John.

    I never hear better or more persuasive stuff than I do here, and I’m about 20 years on at this vile and dangerous blog. Damn, 20 years. I’m representin’ GenX. It is not an easy commission. 

    Blessings on all of your camels, cats, ducks, chickens, dogs, geese and all creatures, great and small, now and forever.

    Since this is a lighthearted thread…

    Today is what would have been my parents 70th wedding anniversary. My Dad had a quasi-dirty minded sense of humor and never stopped telling people that he and Mom got married on the 7th of June and I was born on the 14th. Pregnant pause before my poor mom would jump in saying TWO YEARS LATER!  Dad would just grin while the audience sighed in relief.

    Dad also, when the subject was apropos, loved to say “back in the day” many 7 or 8 pound premature babies were born six or seven months after the wedding.

    I miss my Dad – gone at age 99.5 years five years ago.

    One of the most liberating things I’ve ever done was to shave my head after finally admitting that Male Pattern Baldness had won the day. Every morning I splash water on my face, comb my beard for about four seconds, and go on about my day. Once every 7-10 days, shave my head; takes about two minutes to do it right. FREEDOM!

    @Amir Khalid: He had a wonderful sense of humor. Until the year he died, every time I took him to Mom’s grave to deliver flowers, he’d stop and look around. That was my cue to ask him what he was looking for. “I’m looking for Trump’s grave so I can pee on it.”

    Each time TFG is indicted I will take flowers to Dad with a small American flag and celebrate with him.

    @Hungry Joe:

    I’ve been considering that myself — shaving my head, that is — for some time. Or maybe letting the scalp hair grow out a bit more while keeping the whiskers closely cropped. Or something.

    If you want to check the air quality, here’s a nice dot gov site for you. I checked my old neighborhood in Boston (the West Fenway) and was shocked that today it was fine. I saw photos that Tom Levenson posted earlier today on Mastodon and the sky looked pretty bad, so I don’t know.

    Looks like Cole’s barber trimmed his moustache, put “product” in his hair, combed it, and sent him on his way. 🤣

    It’s a great look. For me, 20 years since my last haircut and my face hair hit 50 on last Memorial Day (Different iterations but always some style). The beard is four buttons deep now and I hear a lot of ZZTop references. But the kids all call me Santa (as well as many adults).

    @karen marie: Looks like Cole’s barber trimmed his moustache, put “product” in his hair, combed it, and sent him on his way.

    It’s a process.  I have grown my hair out from stupidly short a couple of times.  Once I was done with training and in my unit in the army, I grew it to the max allowed by the regs.   My ex preferred my hair short, so one of my first post=separation decisions was to grow it back to the way I want it.  Both times, it took a good six months and several haircuts to get it right.

    Second time in a few days noting that this ostensibly political blog is fixated on trivia while epic, historic, long deserved developments are encircling TFG, with grand jury indictments very clearly about to happen.

    Not a big Ari Melber fan, but he put it all out very well showing how Meadows can be the fulcrum.

    @Jim Appleton: Did you read any of the earlier posts on the blog?  The ones about the very topic you mention?  Or the ones about the war crimes in Ukraine?  Or did you just look at this one?

    @Hungry Joe: I made a similar decision to go with a buzz cut after my hair thinned and the gray hair developed weird cowlicks. I trim hair and beard to a 1/2 inch about once a week. Out on the back porch to minimize the cleanup. My hair was so thin I have to wear a hat anyway.

    I, too, try to stretch out my time between visits to the barber to 3 months.  I turn myself in next week, when I hope the air is better.

    @Jackie:

    we have a similar situation in our family. Mum & Dad celebrated 62 years together on the 25th of March, I was born on the 11th of March 🙂 I am so very lucky to still have them both, alive and very well. (Healthier than me, in fact)

    sab

    @Debbie (Aussie): “Healthier than me” is a serious factor in my families elder care. My dad’s doctor told me that he would probably outlive me. He is healthy ( although demented) at 98 and I already had a life-threatening cardiac event in my 50s. Ten years later I am still not up to anywhere near where I used to be. My siblings are oblivious and assume I will be handling dad’s affairs for the duration. So I have labelled all the records and left clear notes so that my husband and stepkids know what to keep and what to dump on my siblings if I drop dead unexpectedly.

    @Matt McIrvin:
    Miraculously we’ve been spared most of  the smoke in Maine.

    I used to tell my kids when they were young that I would never tell them what to do when it came to hair or clothes, but they would have to wait until they turned 18 for tattoos or piercings.  Hair grows.  It can be changed.
    I like the new do, John.  It’s a subtle change and looks good on you.

    @karen marie:

    There’s also some pretty serious microclimate stuff here in Boston, where the smoke was pooling in the valleys and getting blown off the top of the hill.

    Today they’re saying everyone north of the Pike should be okay, but the South Coast is still going to suck.

    Up here in the inner burbs my eyes are still burning when I go outside, but the sky is merely gray with clouds rather than orange like Tuesday.
