Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

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

You cannot shame the shameless.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Bark louder, little dog.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

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

    Thanks for letting us know!

    I hope the weather was the only thing hellish about the trip.

    Glad you made it safe— a long hot shower and a nice long snooze will be good for you.

    Of course, when you wake up tomorrow you’ll still be in West Virginia, but still… <snickers, ducks, runs>

    Seriously— glad you’re home safe.

    @CaseyL: Over the course of the week, Cole will make a list of all the hellish things and share them with us.

    “Jackassery All the Way Home” will be a welcome break from “The Self-Defenestration of the US,” though there will probably be elements of the latter involved in the telling of the former.

    Glad you’re home and safe.
    Around 4:55 PM Eastern, the iPhone in my pocket spontaneously started playing a song by one J. Cole (“cLOUDs”). Genuinely twitched enough to look up the artist/lyrics.

    Glad you made it safe and sound. That’s a lot of driving for three days even under good conditions, which I know they weren’t.

    I’m home, the ride was hellish, Steve and Maxwell are safe, I am hosing myself off in the shower and going to bed.

    That’s it? That’s all we entertainment-starved wretches get?

    I demand a refund!

    @Nukular Biskits: You need to request it in an all caps email to Cole.  Make sure you cc WaterGirl and Tom Levenson.  I mean, follow the correct procedure, man.

    Woo!  Do we pack brooms for tomorrow?  Go Cubs go!

    Sadly, no crazy thunderstorm is forecast for Milwaukee.

    Did you run into any hail on the way? Maryland got some this afternoon around 4 pm (it wasn’t supposed to rain until after 6 pm today, National Weather Service cuts affected the forecast accuracy?)  the thunderstorm started about 3-something and then turned into a hailstorm. Then more intense rain after 6 pm during the drive back to Virginia. At least I was inside and shopping, Mr  Rudbek was out riding his bike in the near vicinity and had to shelter under a bridge until the hail stopped.

    I am so envious!  That’s a story I’d be telling for the rest of my life.

    No hail in my part of southern Maryland, alas. I wasn’t out on a bike, either – I was doing yard chores instead.

    @lowtechcyclist: yeah, he managed to get to shelter, some of the vendors at the yarn festival took damage to their goods as they were outside in tents. Apparently one of the potters had shelves fall down and smashed up a lot of her inventory, other booths and tents had flooding (and since the morning had been clear, they might not have put down all the matting that they would have done if the ground had already been wet). So I was in the main exhibition building during the storm and I hadn’t visited all the outside vendors yet, which meant that I missed out on some of them. The festival goes on today, but I will probably do online ordering from the vendors who got hail damage.

    @Kayla Rudbek: My daughter and I had planned to go this morning but have cancelled after seeing some pics of the damage. I’ve been attending for decades and don’t remember anything like this storm.

    I’ll do some online ordering too.

    @Baud: Especially considering the weather yesterday over Tennessee, Kentucky, & Ohio yesterday. It must have been like driving in a submarine. Glad you made it back John.

    @skerry: I think that most of the vendors are up and running at the festival today; I just routinely go in person for one day only because I can spend more than enough money on one day 😁 I will have to post pics of my haul over on Bluesky soon.
