I so want someone to do a number on that postcard image and remove the golfer's pants. That pose, that grin on his face, my first thought was he was taking a crap.
So, wait, he’s bugging the State Supreme Court to do him favors regarding his State Supreme Court race? I’m sure he’s making a great impression on his potential future colleagues!
I’ve been on vacation since 5pm Eastern yesterday, and my manager is still sending me emails telling me about emergencies (in her mind, but maybe if she didn’t also fire the person who normally handles A Thing this morning, it wouldn’t be an emergency) that need to be fixed today. I don’t think I’ll spend my first day of vacation automating a process that is normally done manually, on a system I have no access to. If, in two weeks when I get back, she’s still upset, I will remind her that I’ve been asking for access for over a year now so that I can spend the week or two I need to properly do what she needs. I need a paper towel.
"The evil that men do lives after them ...". And here we have an example illustrating the legacy of Thomas Hofeller, the Michelangelo of Gerrymandering.

There you have it. Elon Musk enthusiastically supports the neo-Nazi party in Germany, which also happens to be the most pro-Russian political party in Europe.
What will be interesting is to see if Putin tries to own Musk; the cataclysm from that clash of egos might reset the timeline that weasel in the Hadron supercollider fucked up.
I was with you on Sun Drop, although I prefer Cheerwine. I hung in there for the liver mush sandwich, although my mother ate her liver mush and mustard on saltines. But I gotta draw the line at chitlins. I don’t know anyone who’s ever even seen a chitlin.
Also Jefferson Davis Griffin should be consigned to a diet of Texas “barbecue.” No North Carolina barbecue, not eastern NC style, not western NC style, nay, not even SC mustard style may he eat, forever and always.
Back when I was much younger I visited a friend from work who was cooking chitlins and her house smelled so bad I had to go outside, according to her the chitlins were delish but I just couldn't.
OT but a really important article from Carole Cadwallader about the' sale' of The Observer newspaper and the money behind the money in journalism and media
Sounds like wealthy people have a new hobby. Buying up moderate and liberal news sources. Like Twitter, the Washington Post and LA Times, and now the Guardian.
For years, scientists have floated an alternative theory to explain the extinction of the dinosaurs—one involving extreme volcanism. It’s an intriguing idea, but new research seems to have finally put this competing explanation to rest.
To answer this decades-old question, researchers led by The University of Manchester reconstructed the average air temperatures of the 100,000 years preceding the extinction event. Their findings, detailed in a December 18 study published in the journal Science Advances, confirm that the infamous asteroid was indeed responsible for the end-Cretaceous mass extinction.
Fuck, I hope they have a single issue vote for a cost of living increase for congress, pass it and go home for the holidays.... that would be glorious....
"and got tossed out like Busch cans from a jacked pickup."
Whoa - you know my neighbors?
Sorta OT, but that postcard y'all found is the most off-model map of North Carolina ever...

Is it hard to make the wanking motion with a gavel in your hand?
Well, most of them are GOPers also too... so they'd be disappointed in him if he didn't find ways to cheat.
It's who they are.
Totally OT: If you ever need to get a teacher gift, a big 12-pack of tissues or paper towels is the best ever.
2-1/2 hours until vacation.

Everyone needs rest. Especially if it's been a year! I'm so over everything. Have a peaceful vacation.
You too! I’m going to rest by ignoring work until January 2.
BREAKING MUST CREDIT NBC NEWS:
Republicans ordered lunch from Potbelly sandwich shop. No word if Speaker Johnson ordered his with extra mayo.
That actually is news. Most Republican reps get their food exclusively from Chick-Fil-A.
Hopefully they all came with extra bodily fluids.

Honestly a little disappointed that there was no Moon Pie and RC cola reference.
The curse of no NC barbecue was a nice touch.
Tar Heel born, Tar Heel bred, when I die etc.
I’m in NOVA and I’ve seen buckets o chitterlings. I’ve never eaten any though.
Yeah I’m not squeamish but I draw the line at intestines.
Give it a couple of years. You won't be that choosy.
Back when I was much younger I visited a friend from work who was cooking chitlins and her house smelled so bad I had to go outside, according to her the chitlins were delish but I just couldn't.
Well, intestines would smell like their former contents, wouldn't they?
I always thought of that longass boil as cooking the shit out of them.
Republicans?

OT: Please pour one out for OG Richard J. Daley, who died on this date in 1976.
"This is definitely Lower Wacker Drive! If my estimations are correct, we should be very close to the Honorable Richard J. Daley Plaza!"
"That's where they got that Picasso."
Also OT. The "they were heavy smokers" theory not ruled out however.

OT: Will a govt shutdown mean having to stay with the in-laws longer?
No, as long as you don't mind flying without air traffic controllers.
Which answer would you like?
No
CNN and NBC reporting debt limit increase is now off the table.
President Musk and VP Trump gonna' be mad.
The Mad Kings
so the feckless, toothless blowhard learns the hard way....
One step closer to winding up back at the original deal at the last possible moment.
Possibly minus a COL increase for congress
Fuck, I hope they have a single issue vote for a cost of living increase for congress, pass it and go home for the holidays.... that would be glorious....
Well that would be tragic.
Darn. There goes tax-free decade for billionaires.
Well, let's not get hasty!
Hoom, hom.
Apropos of nothing, these days my go-to Treebeard quote, usually to the grandged, is "I am not very, hm, bendable."
