Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Let there be snark.

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

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

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

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

A consequence of cucumbers

In after Baud. Damn.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

As long as McCarthy is Speaker, the House will never be in order.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

    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.
