Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

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

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

You cannot shame the shameless.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Petty moves from a petty man.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

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

    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.
