Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

How stupid are these people?

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

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

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

So many bastards, so little time.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

The skunk posse was fun. Every so often they would trigger smoke to erupt from the back end to cheers from the crowd.

    I’ve done that.

    Years ago, I had a friend who went to Evergreen State, and she described the Procession of the Species parade. It sounded so whimsical and cool and earnest — I never forgot it. Thanks for sharing pics. Looks like it was even better than I imagined!

    @Baud: Wait, you’ve done which? Cheered, triggered a skunk, or erupted from the back end of same?

    I’m so confused.

    So much fun to see these pictures.  I hope they keep the ‘homemade’ charm.  This is a good project-event that would build community ties and be fun, while meeting and getting to know one another.  I remember massive tire-bonfires and homecoming parades where the planning and execution was as much fun as the parade.  The high school did all the decor, lighting and other planning and work for proms, graduations, etc, with students and parents working away.  Good times!

    Like the photo, WG.

    So many favorite animals in the parade today, I can’t pick just one!  I am loving this series.

    I was at a mushroom foraging festival that had a homemade costume parade; so many kinds of fungus costumes!  Morels featured widely, plus an excellent example of corn smut.  I have a soft spot for the mom and baby in banana slug costumes, each with a “slime trail” of a piece of shimmery semi-clear fabric trailing behind them.
