Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Republicans do not trust women.

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

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

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Accountability, motherfuckers.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

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

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

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

What Goes Up…

Satellite watchers are counting down. A 23-ton Chinese Long March rocket has been circling (ellipsing, actually) down and should re-enter the atmosphere any time now. Here’s a list of sites and people to follow who will be following the rocket’s trajectory.

The orbit has been erratic as it dips toward the atmosphere, so its exact entry and ultimate end can’t be predicted. It passed over Australia a few minutes ago, or should have if it didn’t disintegrate into the sea before that.

It will most likely fall into the sea, since that’s 70% of the earth’s surface. WordPress won’t let embed a tracker, but here’s Jonathan McDowell’s latest tweet. He makes a practice of tracking space junk.
