Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

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

Giving up is unforgivable.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

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

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

“But what about the lurkers?”

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

T R E 4 5 O N

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

    Aw man why did you have to show me that?  Now I’m half convinced that the maya empire  were started by a small group of 4channers that were sent back in time….

    @rikyrah:

    I just saw grandma’s airbnb in the last thread, so sweet.  My gram fixed a big pitcher of tea every morning that sat on the counter all day.  Unsweetened, brewed with mint.  So refreshing over a ton of ice on a hot day.

    I’m proud to say I know all the lyrics to Tom Paxton’s Marvelous Toy. My wife was not impressed. Paxton is under appreciated as a song writer IMHO.

    I’ve come to really like Rick Astley. He peaked early in life and seems resigned to the fact that he’ll never again reach the heights of his late ’80s career, but he seems to have a good sense of humour about it and is just kicking back and enjoying life. Other singers from the era (*cough* Morrissey *cough*) have turned into real dickheads.

    Dave Grohl seems to be a mensch too. Good on him.

    @Pete Downunder: My recollection is that he was huge in the 60’s and many of the big named folk artists (Kington Trio, PPM, Judy Collins) performed his songs. I don’t know if he is still appreciated today.

    @Kathleen:

    Remember him the same way. He seems a likely participant in those monstrous PBS pledge drives which always include Peter Paul and Mary (even if they’ve passed on).

    All aspects of this post are awesome.

    I now imagine some teenage noble saving up money to buy more figurines, maybe as a Mayan version of a Dungeon Master in Mayan D&D.

    And that Foo Fighters-Rick Astley video is exactly what I needed this morning. They all seem to be having a great time.

    @NotMax:

    I watched that sequence repeatedly. It was just so incredibly done.

    Actually, that entire movie was amazing. Excellent performances and some genuinely surreal visuals.

     

    And also extra helpings of Goth Pie.
