Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

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

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

Fight them, without becoming them!

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

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

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

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

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

We will not go back.

Everybody saw this coming.

Petty moves from a petty man.

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

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

A Minor Breakthrough

I watched an episode of Property Virgins on HGTV tonight, and I can honestly say this was the first time I have watched it or House Hunters and not wanted to kick the buyer in the junk by the end of the episode. It was some librarian in Portland named Heather, and she was a decent person, found a great foreclosed house that needed some work but was a real find, saw the beauty in some of the existing structure, was really excited, not demanding, and just seemed like an all around good person. And she was nice to her friends.

There was no mention of hardwood floors, two sinks in the latrine, or stainless steel appliances. Her priorities made sense, too- good structure, yard to garden, etc. Yet she was happy!

For those of you who wanted a thread for something other than elections or sports or pets or me being cranky (99.7% of the blog).
