Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

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

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

How stupid are these people?

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Consistently wrong since 2002

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

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

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

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

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

    In the 1950s Hungary had one of the all-time great national sides. On the other hand, Belgium has some really talented players, and Marouane Fellaini has the best ‘fro in football since Carlos Valderrama retired.

    On paper Belgium have way more than enough to win this one. If they don’t, they should immediately fire Mark Willmots for simply not having a clue on how to form a functioning team.

    Forecast: second patriarchal cross team going out today.

    The embarrassment of riches Wilmots has on his side is shining through. De Bruyne is simply magnificent and his injury cost Man City dearly this past season.

    I hadn’t paid attention before but the Magyars have a beautiful anthem.

    What exactly is the color of the Belgian shirts and shorts? They have a distinctly greenish hue on my screen and make me wonder whether I need to calibrate the screen colors. But then the Hungarian shorts clearly are white.

    Martin Keown had a nice Premier League career but he’s the worst fucking color man on the planet. His color is worse than his in-game and post-game analysis, my cat has more to offer in detail and accuracy.

    @BillCinSD:

    Well, the game speaks for itself, the Belgians are all class and Hungary is determined to get forward and find an equalizer and this is non-stop fun

    Saw a funny comment to the Germany vs Slovakia game in The Guardian:

    In the next round Germany will play the final vs. Spain, then the semi-final vs. France and finally the quarter-final vs. Belgium.

    Just heard bad news mixed with one of the best Freudian slips ever.
    5 wounded in Sacramento stabbing.
    CNN had the pio for the fire department. He said there was a right wing excrement before correcting to extremist.

    I used to think that adding extra assistants behind the goallines would be a great help to referees, but that has turned out to be an epic failure. I don’t know what those guys are looking at, but it’s certainly not the match.

    batshuayi with the tap in, Hungary needs an epic comeback now, not that I want the fascists to win.

    I’ll Hazard a guess and say that was the single best performance of the tourney so far. Magisterial performance from Hazard.

    carrasco extra seals it and the carriage is back to being a pumpkin for the Magyars

    And four. Hungary actually played really well in this second half. But Belgium is beginning to look like the team everyone has been waiting for them to be.

    @BillCinSD: I remember years ago reading one of the Spenser mysteries, all told in the first person, he described it thusly:

    “She kicked me in the balls; groin just doesn’t do it justice.”
