Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Second rate reporter says what?

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

You cannot shame the shameless.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

How stupid are these people?

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

Can’t say this grabs my attention the way Ariel or Bury My Lovely did, but that was sooo many years ago (and Mary Fahl‘s voice is irreplaceable).

This is nonetheless pleasant, and the pictures are well matched to the lyrics…

    @Baud: The soccer thread went kablooey.

    Oh no! The dreaded 404!

    I think WaterGirl is gone on vacation, IIRC

    We’ll just have to add comments to the first week’s thread.

    I learned that today in my teeny little home town of Sheridan IL, the FBI arrested a guy for involvement in Jan 6. Nabbed his brother in Florida too.

    Somehow I’m not surprised, knowing that little town as I do.

    @NotMax: It did indeed. It finally decided it had seen enough of south eastern Wisconsin. Thank you for asking 😊

    So good I just have to share – Fresh Corn Polenta with Eggplant and Tomato Sauce

    The polenta recipe is stupid simple:

    4 ears fresh corn, shucked and corn kernels cut from ears

    3 to 4 tbsp unsalted butter

    Salt and pepper to taste

    Add corn kernels to blender and puree until smooth.

    Set skillet over medium heat. Add butter. When butter is melted, add corn puree and cook, stirring constantly, until it reaches desired thickness. Remove from heat and add salt and pepper to taste. (It will thicken as it cools.)

    Eggplant and Tomato Sauce recipe is here.

    Yay for summer and the Farmers Market.

    You get any of this morning’s excellent thunderstorm?

    We took in a young cat who kept turning up at our doorstep at 5 am looking for food. We decided to adopt her. Took her to the vet. He checked and she was chipped. He said “we don’t need to report her.” We said ” someone loved her enough to chip her.” By then we had had her for five days. No signs whatever in the neighborhood.

    Facebook said oh by the way my girlfriend’s cat is back. Someone turned her in to a local vet.

    5 am the very next day she turned up at our front door wanting breakfast. With a new collar with a bell.

    Our neighborhhood has at least two free roaming german shepherds who chase cats with lethal intent. Also many cats who fight at night. Also adjacent to a 1000 acre wooded park with at least 8 coyotes. Also some teenagers who drive like maniacs. Not a safe place for a cat to wander.

    I am very tempted to be one of those assholes who adopt some one else’s cat for the cat’s own safety.

    I love October Project.  This is a good song but AL is correct . . . Mary Fahl’s voice cannot be replaced.

     

    ETA:  I feel very sorry for anyone who doesn’t have this band’s first two albums.

    Be that asshole angel.  Either boyfriend is booting the cat out of ‘his’ house, or girlfriend has chosen his comfort over ‘her’ cat’s safety.  (The chip might only indicate she originally adopted the poor beast from a shelter that chips all its residents.)

    @sab: Do it. They never even kept it safe inside for 24 hours. The vet saying not to report it is a tell, he may have known the owners weren’t good ones.
