Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

So many bastards, so little time.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

When I was faster i was always behind.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

“They all knew.”

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

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

He really is that stupid.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

    I see YouTube has clips of jackals barking. Maybe you guys can play them to find each other, like the game “Marco Polo.”

    Hi everyone.  I got there and there were no parking spaces, not in the lot, not on the street, nothing.  So I just turned around and went home.

    @zhena gogolia: I will upload the photos when I get home. You’ll see that Goku is a dashing young man. I am surprised some young woman hasn’t snapped him up yet.

    @John Sterling: Sorry to have missed you! We are doing this again next year, and we will pick a day that isn’t the German village-wide yard sale. Maybe that will ensure more parking spaces.

    @Ohio farmer: hey, great meeting you! Did you see that new HBO documentary about corruption? The first episode was about the First Energy scandal and I meant to ask you about it, especially in light of the solar power conversation.

    @Manyakitty: I haven’t seen it yet…. But I know way too much about it…. The young man who wore the wire that brought it all down was from Knox county and was a lifelong hard core R who has bc of this has walked away from them and is a pretty solid liberal… if you saw the dispatch story from a couple of months ago about the lawyer spending all of householders campaign cash…. He is a local attorney who is always ranting about how householder is a victim of liberal witch hunt…..
