Ouch!!!!ouch!!!!OUCH!!!! Been there, know I need to work up the courage to do it again. Hope it went ok, you got awesome painkillers, and you recover quickly!!!
Here in southeast LA. we haven't had any real rain in over two months. We're over twenty inches of rainfall short. Plus it's 8,000 degrees outside. I miss the petrichore!
I wish I was freezing my ass off in Lake Michigan. Instead, I am slathering my exposed body parts in SPF60 and preparing to go inspect a 800 gallon reactor of methyl ethyl death at a local plastics manufacturing plant at 1 PM. Pisses me off that I couldn't do it at 7 AM but life sucks sometimes. On a happier note my mortgage lender keeps sending me voice mails saying I have no home insurance. So I called my nice insurance lady (who is also very sexy) and she informed me it was paid last month. Fucking mortgage bankers.
Wonkmeets are FUN! If you can do it I totally recommend it. Even if you are socially anxious, even if you are a Lurker, you will have a wonderful time and find close friends. I consider the Wonkers I've met in person to genuinely be good friends and can't wait to see them again. ETA I will be at The Berkshires Labor Day campout, would love to meet ya!
Just as a reminder than Rob Desantis had come off a double digit schellacking of his competition just 9 months ago in one of America’s 5 largest states, with virtually the entire Republican financial establishment backing him, and for a brief period the lead for the nomination
He’s now behind a man who’s never run for elected office
In the UK it refers to darker skinned people, usually from India and the countries around it that didn't exist until we partitioned everything and caused a few genocides.
In Australia, it means someone from the Balkans. I didn't know this when I stayed up til 2am once as a teenager to watch what I imagined would be a serious, hard hitting look at racism in Australia and instead saw the light comedy Wogboy.
Was just looking at Google News. It's certainly a comment on the times when there's a fact checking section. Even more so when the fact being checked reads "Were 2023 Maui Fires Caused by a 'Direct Energy Weapon'?" Seriously screwy world we live in.
I am a Detroit-ish person, but being disabled and not having easy access to even Detroit kinda sucks.
All in spirit and things.
OT Matt Gaetz just introduced a bill that would forbid school officials from interfering in satanic prayers in class.
I'm guessing that was an unintended consequence of his bill, and not the primary reason for it.
(yes but let's not let it ruin a beautiful self-own)
"12 hours out of Mackinaw City, stopped in a bar to have a brew. Met a girl and we had a few drinks and I told what I decided it do..."
Couldn't help myself. Roll Me Away is my all-time favorite Seger song.
Wish you could do a Wonkette party in Manchester, UK
Seize the means of Wonkette Party production! It worked in Cleveland, Ohio!
we prolly have enough wonkers in the DC area to seize the means of production, but I'm horrible at planning stuff(and kinda lazy)
I wish I could be there! I’m back at the dentist today, this time to get a tooth pulled. 🙁 I hope you guys have fun!

Have fun in Mackinac City, you northern wonkers!

Another Atlanta event might be fun during the hopefully upcoming Trumptrial.
Trumptrial is now officially one word.
I like how you also made your handle into oneword.
We could do that, and it's not a big trip for folks in central and north Florida.
I can try to get something done. I need a trial date is set.
ALL of the Trumptrials. There's lots to look forward to!
Yay. We are now a bloc.
Perfect.

How long before he goes full racist? Do Americans know the W racial slur?
Do they begin at Calais?
W, not sure I know that one. Wanker? Wuss? Wabbit? Wisconsinite?

One of my German acquaintances said a joke in Prussia is that the Balkans begin at Munich.
Didn't they also use another 3 letter word beginning with W to denote the peoples with a root in the boot?
Only because I heard Eric Clapton use it do I know it.
DeSantis is going to use it because his advisors will tell him his target voting bloc likes Clapton.
I didn't know that East Indians comprised a significant demographic except at medical centers and convenience stores
I hope y'all find a few petoskey stones while you're out beaching it up!!
I had to buy one; those are cool. I wished I coulda found a Yooper stone
Here's a live view of Trump's protective order hearing:
https://twitter.com/Simpsons_tweets/status/565269920473415684
For the Twitterless:
Marge: You have the right to remain silent.
Trump: I choose to waive that right.Blahhh!!! Wuahhhhhhh!!! Wuahhhhhh!!!
Ron "Tater Salad" White:
"I had the right to remain silent...but I didn't have the ability."
Beat me to it.

Jewish space lasers?
The stupid. It burns Maui.
Of course not! (((We))) like Hawaii!
Chawaii is also an accepted transliteration, as I understand it.
I trust that Tallulah is the Smart Hulk!
Of course she is!
This is a test repost.
Current status of the Antarctic sea ice.
This. Is. Not. Good!

To be fair, we've only know that we're completed fucked for two or three decades. There really wasn't anything we could have done.
