sorry, that was mean, was a story about a documentary on Inside Edition last night, and I had never actually seen the Raygun breakdancing routine from back in the day... it was bad.
Windsor, MA !!!!! A Potluck !?!?!? Can I bring chicken wings ? Just kidding. Scratches head. Yet, yet, Where IS Windsor, MA ?!? It must eastbound on the Pike. What would I bring to a Potluck ? Tabbouli salad. Groan. Been done. Hummus. R U kidding me, this isn't the catering table at a porn shoot. Think Margaret, THINK. Aha. Here. I haves it. It's a classic. It might not be that good, but it will certainly be original. CHEERS.
It's so weird how the Native Americans embraced the pilgrims and everyone enjoyed a lovely first Thanksgiving, and then we stole their land, killed them off, and sent them to reservations.
They put a post up a bit before the start time. A quick description, sone trivia, maybe some personal thoughts. The comments section is anyone watching the movie gathers meets up. That's it.
Thanks for your replies, @Always Be Ithacating and @shivaskeeper. So the link is on Wonkette or Ziggy Wiggy's Substack? I guess I won't even be lurking; desktop's upstairs (I don't use the phone app), TV's downstairs. Maybe I'll watch the movie tonight and see if that works.
You can view Wonkette through a regular browser app on your phone. I use Firefox on my Android phone, not the substack app. I just browse from this link
Thanks. I'll try that, likely as a lurker -- typing on my phone, meh. But I'll enjoy reading the rest of you snarking. I did watch the movie last night and liked it a lot. (Would that the current richest man in the world would end up like in the movie.)
I'd like to see a presidential candidate running on the platform of demolishing every thing Trump has built. That would surely enflame the MAGAts but they're really only about 30% of the voting population. And it would enliven the rest of the country sick of Trump's madness.
I would be more energized by a credible commitment to investigating this regime's crimes, bringing the criminals to justice, and ensuring those crimes can never happen again.
I've been waiting and hoping for this since Nixon, but it's always been a slap on the wrist at most, and 'we have to look forward, not backward'.
Would love to have some justice and hope before I die.
Re: Kennedy Center. First-io, maybe they might wanna finish restoring it before proclaiming it restored. Donny’s “restorations” have a way of turning out badly.
Second-io, the measure resolves “that the center desires to recognize and honor President Trump’s existential and unprecedented contributions to the survival of the center by all legal means.” And this word “existential “, I do not think you know what it means
Amanda Marcotte says we dodged a bullet with Francesca Hong not because Hong’s too progressive, but because her whole “abolish Thanksgiving” is the kind of joy-scolding we’re always being accused of. More fun and dancing and Mamdani’s Nani, less no holidays in the gulag.
I work in healthcare and a MAJORITY of my coworkers are foreign-born from all over the world. It is interesting to experience their ‘take’ on “Thanksgiving”. My boss is from South India - and really can not stand the taste of Turkey; however, she is an excellent cook, and makes a great chicken biryani for Thanksgiving (she always brings me some). Other coworkers do not care whether they work nor not. Filipino coworkers I work with like Thanksgiving because it is ANOTHER reason to get together and share food which they do all year anyway.
Personally, Thanksgiving for me is lots of EMOSHUNAL baggage of coming from a relatively dysfunctional family. (Yelling and crying and unmet expectations and ETOH IYKYK) While I get along with my family- closest relative is 400 miles away - I WORK on Thanksgiving; coordinate the work pot-luck; and host a Thanksgiving for some healthcare worker friends THE SATURDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING - less pressure. I was rooting for Hong, but can see both Marcotte’s and Hong’s view.
Cheeky little Momota on the hed gif. More about him here: https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/momota-and-the-traffic-cone

Have a good weekend!
Mama is unhappy. No dessert tonight.
Thank you for a laugh-out-loud moment. Go Momota! And Mom seems pretty cool, just tossing the cones out of the cave space. She displays no annoyance.
Unbearable conehead Martini.
Nice re-ordering of the funny part!
I.... told .... you .... to LEAVE THAT OUTSIDE!!!11!11 Now go to your room.
omg morning giggles with my tabs!
When Friday comes at you like a traffic cone to the butt.
Were there Scottish sports fans about?
Traffic cones are the new Legos!
Polar bears are terrifying enough without having to contemplate them coming at you across the ice with pylons on their heads thank you very much.
THIS IS MY CONE. THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT BUT THIS ONE IS MINE.
WITHOUT MY CONE, I AM NOTHING. WITHOUT ME, MY CONE IS NOTHING!
"Ronco Traffic Cones: They're fun, they're great exercise, the kids just LOVE 'em!"
We all know that RFKJ and his friends will now want to kill and eat this adorable cub.
He only eats things AFTER they ferment - naturally, paleo-ly
Polar bear does it's best Raygun impression.

Sometimes life's lessons come
From places strange and rare
Here's good example from
A fluffy polar bear.
When cruising down life's highway
If you hit a traffic cone
Don't back off, full speed ahead
And drive that sucker home.
One gif to rule them all.
Is my traffic cone!
No, is mine!
Give it back!
"Make your bed, mow the lawn, and do your homework. Then you may have your cone back."
BANHAMMERED, MOI ?!? Posts aren't posting.
This one did. Except comments are not allowed here. So none of us exist.

A pic of the recipe I'm bringing to the Windsor, MA Potluck.

TGIF Tab's with Coffee ☕💯👍
I have to agree with Marcote. Let republicans be the killjoys.
It's so weird how the Native Americans embraced the pilgrims and everyone enjoyed a lovely first Thanksgiving, and then we stole their land, killed them off, and sent them to reservations.
Almost as if that lovely first Thanksgiving were a fantasy of the descendants of the white colonists!
It is that one weird trick they keep trying to get you to click on.
Please include a brief instruction in the weekly "Join Ziggy Wiggy" for whatever movie. How does one do that? Thanks.
It's fun, and lurkers are most welcome. This week is a very delightful movie, too – hope to see you there!
Ziggy also provides a preview of each month's selections, and where to find to view them – https://ziggywiggy.substack.com/p/wonkette-movie-night-august-2026.

EST Tabs ever! 😂😂
Best I typed best damn autocorrect
Happens to me all the time. Seems to me a great way to fuck with AI is give it autocorrect, too.

They're not mutually exclusive. Just sayin'
You are so right!

I have many ‘thoughts’
I work in healthcare and a MAJORITY of my coworkers are foreign-born from all over the world. It is interesting to experience their ‘take’ on “Thanksgiving”. My boss is from South India - and really can not stand the taste of Turkey; however, she is an excellent cook, and makes a great chicken biryani for Thanksgiving (she always brings me some).

Damn. I had real hope for Count Binface in this one.
https://www.nbcnews.com/world/united-kingdom/nigel-farage-beats-count-binface-win-back-seat-parliament-widely-mocke-rcna592496
He did get 27% of the vote — and finished (a depressingly distant) second.
not sure if you are familiar with the area of Clacton. It is majority right wing fuckheads
I confess, I am not. But if Farage was the MP I probably should’ve guessed.
And almost a third gave two fingers to Farage:
“Today the voters in Clacton have stuck up two fingers to the entire political establishment,” Farage said, referring to the British equivalent of a crude gesture that employs the middle finger in other cultures. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/farage-binface-britain-politics_n_6a7eff20e4b0d1c2680df4b7?utm_source=buzzfeed&utm_medium=iframely
By retaining his seat, Farage is now back under investigation for his accepting dodgy money
Joke candidate wins election; Count Binface concedes.
Bless Count Binface for his efforts to make this farce, extra farcical.
Oh, wait. Not "The Devil IN Miss Jones"...
I needed this picture more than I can say.
