Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Stand up, dammit!

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Giving up is unforgivable.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

    What the hell? When did this place get all nice and snazzy looking?

    John Cole never would have allowed this sort of thing to happen if he was still with us.

    Are we back? We are back!

    First test for me: does a page bloat to 300 MB of RAM like the old site did?

    … seems to be idling at about 51.5 MB.

    … right now you seem to need to refresh the page to see your comment, then refresh again to get the edit button.  Could be my antiquated browser…

    Of course Trump loves Erdogan! There Trump money in Turkey, and Erdogan gets to commit the war crimes Trump’s military people won’t let HIM commit.

    New site looks good. Let’s see how well it functions! Can it remember my NYM?

    I’m a sucker for new & shiny, but this looks really nice! Well worth the wait. And my nym and email even carried over!

    Good work everyone. I’ll go leave a donation now.

    Last time he was here he watched from his parked limo as his security goons beat up American protestors. I sure would like to see him try that again.

    Jinkies, autofill still works for my nym/email, and everything’s all fancy-looking. Feel like I gotta change into something nice before I visit this joint.

    If the past is any guide — and if it isn’t, what is it good for? — my day-by-day reaction to the new look will be … Day #1: I hate it. Day #2: I hate it. Day #3: Not so bad. Day #4: What was the old look? I forget. Day #17: Its always looked like this, right?

    That building with the big Turkish flag behind Erdogan is the Anit Kabir in Ankara – Ataturk’s tomb. That motherfucker has a lot of nerve being there. I’m honestly kind of shocked that Mustafa Kemal Pasha doesn’t rise right up from his coffin & strangle that Islamofascist bastard with his own tie.

    FTR the building with the square columns behind Erdogan in the one tweet is the Anit Kabir – Ataturk’s tomb overlooking Ankara. That motherfucking Islamofascist has a fuck of a lot of nerve being anywhere near that monument to founder of the secular Turkish republic. Frankly I’m shocked that the spirit of Mustafa Kemal doesn’t rise up out of his coffin & strangle him with his own tie.

    This is so wonderful. Large print that my old eyes can actually read without squinting. And you remembered my nym and email address. What could be better? Well, a handsome, elderly gentleman, but we can’t have everything….

    The House Intelligence Committee just spent a day establishing just what some heads of state have to do to get invited to the White House.  And yet, there Erdogan was.
