The Democrats and the Progressives gotta win big in 2024 for this momentum to continue. The GOP is giving us a hint of how they wanna derail everything so they can go back to burning oil and coal like there's no tomorrow.
Thank you! I'm new since Substack. I read some hilarious writing by Gary Legum. That led me to Wonkette. More great writers! I love it. But look out on the commenting, even before the Middle East erupted in horror, people on line were irritable. Sigh.
You are kind of the reason we are here. (Self-edits snarkful `Thanks a lot, Blue!', given that you are a newbie and possibly lack context.) Noble Editrix thought we would benefit from fresh readership, and led us (dragged us kicking and fussing and holding our noses) into the Promised Substack. (Most of us have gotten over our big selves by now, other than the occasional "lack of embedded cat picture" whimpers).
But you should probably know that we tend to politely read the columns, because it's expected, but many of us are more or less here for the comments, and it's not so much that we are irritable as we like to play hot potato and you are expected to lob them back, not hold them until they explode.
Telling you this because of how on account you are part of the family now and we slid down a spot at the table and threw another potato in the pot.
Since I can't watch climate-killing republicants getting what they deserve, here's a refreshing video of Russians and their shit getting blown up in Ukraine.
I'm increasingly of the mind that Tarantino loves himself just a little too much and writes his scripts with an eye on just how often he can slip the N-word in just because he likes to use it.
wouldn’t piss on his shoes if his feet were on fire … saw pulp fiction & was mildly amused by some of the characters … he’s largely hype & murder porn …
It's easy to jump to conclusions in this climate. She was probably killed by a man for reasons that have nothing to do with her religion, which is absolutely typical. Nevertheless, it seems that Detroit has lost a beautiful soul.
I have some facebook friends that are aging farmers. They posted some bullshit propaganda about solar farms that is obviously produced and spread by big oil. I find big industrial agriculture more of a threat. I don't eat cow corn or soy beans so why do I care if that acreage is used to generate clean energy? My farmer friends grow vegetables and there is a difference between that and industrial pesticide and herbicide drenching 'agriculture' producing mono-cultures of shit I don't eat.
Please hang in there. It can work but it is rough.
Myself, I felt like that last loaf of bread on the store shelf after a panic run on the store. You know the one: kind'a mangled with the plastic torn off in one place where someone GNAWED on it before tossing it back on the shelf; the one with the mold showing.
But that was just me doing negative self talk. Because after A YEAR I met someone who saw me as a smoking hot loaf of French Bread right outta the oven and she wanted to gnaw on me!
And every time she does that I become a whole loaf again!
I see an app for that. Just IoT the trigger of the gun to the power button on the camera. Moving trigger stops cam. Reholstering gun blocks light sensor on gunsight and signals camera to turn on again. Phrase "nothing to see here" again becomes literally true. In court, everything is blamed on an app update. Voila!

I have a few codes also too, Dok, if you've got people looking.
You mean a blue sky invitation?
Yes. I took a long break from commenting so I don't recognize a lot of the new folks but if doc vouches for them I'll send him my codes to forward.

Well, I sent the email to Dok in time to get a Blue Sky invitation, and now I'm there. Zyxomma has arrived! Ta, Dok.
That photo! LOL. He's eating ice cream too!
If the estate tax can be called the death tax, and the Affordable Care Act can be called Obamacare, then
"[Laws can] get better names retroactively, maybe something as simple as the “American Climate Plan”."
Just gotta decide to make it so. Republicans have shown us the way - we just need to practice it.
"Damn socialists are EVERYWHERE!"

Joe's ice cream cone sure looks tasty.
Random thought:
I'm increasingly of the mind that Tarantino loves himself just a little too much and writes his scripts with an eye on just how often he can slip the N-word in just because he likes to use it.
I once described Tarantino's movies as "unlikable characters doing unpleasant things for implausible reasons"
While I haven't really seen a lot of Tarantino's movies I have read more than a bit about him.
He sounds to me like a thoroughly detestable egomaniac and I really hope that someone pisses on his shoes one of these days.
Preferably while Tarantino is wearing them.
wouldn’t piss on his shoes if his feet were on fire … saw pulp fiction & was mildly amused by some of the characters … he’s largely hype & murder porn …
Yes, how he fucked up Uma Thurman for a stunt in Kill Bill is disgusting.
When his girlfriend Mira Sorvino complained that Weinstein had attempted to abuse her, he shrugged it off as something that happens with Weinstein.
QT has always impressed me as a barely concealed piece of shit.
In love with his own reflection.
Had to replace our furnace, Oliver Sudden, so went with a heat pump (which should start Wednesday). C'mon rebates!
I read that twice, first thinking that perhaps you named all of your appliances, and Oliver had Sadly Passed.
I is a sharp cookie.
Fuck. A synagogue president in the Detroit area was stabbed to death today.

A peace activists who worked for human rights for all people.
Despite the situation, I have a bias towards it being a Christian, as with the six year old boy.

I can’t upfist, just $&*@#%&*$&*.
Seconded. Who does that kind of shit?
Oh god.
People's hateful rhetoric has real physical consequences, and I wish the powers that be would realize this.
Laws that are supposed to protect the public from inciting violence are so loose as to be completely useless.
E.g. Xitter, which is basically just a hate machine now, and it's perfectly OK b/c "freeze peach."
I'm just sickened.
Anger overwhelms me. I have no words acceptable to post here.
It doesn't help Tlaib is spreading disinfo in her home state
Damn it.
I am listening to the fabulous, late great Tina Turner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YM0J05SjFHI.

I personally think Simba, Li'l Feller, and Larry the Cat need to form a reigning triumvirate to save the world.

Mrowr.
There is a resemblance!
Given how climate change is going, we will all be on fire before long.

There's a whole paid group of people to ASTRO turf against solar projects.
Let me dig up the podcast...

Linking to Volts wins a big smile from me. Well done, O Boaty One
OT: My hiking date didn't kill me and bury me in the woods. It was alright. No chemistry and not much laughter, and that's a no go place for me.
He suggested we get lunch afterwards, but I pleaded breakfast burrito baby still in my tummy.
Ah well. At least I'm getting out there.
Step #1 = getting out there
Step #2 = getting out there
Step #3 = repeat first two steps

I’m glad you feel well enough to date at all! Better luck next time!
May you find your Mr./Ms. Darcy.
At least you got out for a breath of fresh air.
Better you learn these things ASAP and have it done with.
Sorry it didn't work out...at least you put yourself "out there"...
I’m all for planting trees in Atlanta, but they could have just avoided cutting down a forest for that police training facility
Where do you expect police to learn the critical skills they need such as "beating a suspect without leaving incriminating marks"?
Aslo too for the PNW cops how not to shoot your partner.
The School of the Americas?
And "how to turn off your bodycam at the critical moment."
I see an app for that. Just IoT the trigger of the gun to the power button on the camera. Moving trigger stops cam. Reholstering gun blocks light sensor on gunsight and signals camera to turn on again. Phrase "nothing to see here" again becomes literally true. In court, everything is blamed on an app update. Voila!
yeah. no shit.
