Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

The words do not have to be perfect.

đŸŽ¶ Those boots were made for mockin’ đŸŽ”

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

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

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

People are weird.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

“But what about the lurkers?”

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

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

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

    Naw, they just gamed the system by releasing their entry late in the year, so it was the only thing people remembered. Same as the studios do every year with their Oscar bait.

    Somehow I doubt they will be able to keep the definition of “buttering the cat” to be limited only to “ableist” help, but I wish them luck.

    I have gotten so much JOY from this account. The original piece made me weep with laughter, and I have been loving all of the subsequent bits; I thought the disability piece was brilliant. So much love and acceptance.

    @debbie: I just read some of the recap, and if Pam is a real person, she’s an idiot.  And she can report me to HR for thinking she’s an idiot.

    I read the original Pam/Jeans/Jorts thing but not to can’t remember where I did. Was it on Reddit?

    @guachi: the Jorts/Jean/Pam saga originated on the AITA subreddit. So there’s a pretty good chance you encountered it there or you were linked to the Reddit thread somewhere.

    @WereBear: My paternal grandparents had a Simon back in the 60’s that I called Simon the Likeable because you know why?. Jorts is absolutely of that line of gentle, well meaning souls.

    I most be the only person in the Western world who finds no discernible humor in this saga. Just an unfunny story and a bunch of people trying way too hard to get a free ride off the humor they see in it.

    No, you’re not. I’ve stridently avoided it because … cats. Am aware of only vague points of reference to it (and that’s more than quite enough) gleaned by what’s been dropped here.

    Presume we’ll know it’s passed its sell-by date when “skullbuttering a kitten” shows up as a rotating tag.

    @Gin & Tonic: I thought it was just one of the increasing number of things about which I am out of step with the majority of regulars here. I started to read the original story and just got bored

    Am I the only person in the mapped universe who had no idea who this “Jorts” character was? Although suddenly I saw his name everywhere. (thanks, AL, for the primer)
