Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

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

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

“woke” is the new caravan.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

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

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

The willow is too close to the house.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

This fight is for everything.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

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

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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.

    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.
