I just want to say to all the young men who are thinking about whether or not to be a Republican...
If you think you should not leave a date wondering if you are a murderer or just a rapist... go blue.
If you think trafficking minors for the sexual pleasures of yourself and other rich people is a bad business model and should not be followed, definitely... go blue.
If you are OK with all of it... Go to fucking Hell, you MAGA prick!
Morning, Rebecca! I am so, so very sorry that Barbara Boxer lost her temper and yelled at you! You, a Democratic Party ally with that commands a devoted following of refistered liberal voters! Twice! Lots of politics is still about who is friendly to our friends. And this Warner Brothers merger into the Skydance blob, financed the good old junk bond way, sucks. It ought to be illegal, especially after the 1980s. It is very hard on the workers, who haven’t done anything wrong. Now Hollywood will make fewer movies, and there will be less work for make-up artists, cinematographers, writers, key grips, wardrobe, casting, all those names we see in the credits that make LA the 20th largest economy in the world. Poor Brooke, and poor my niece and nephew-in-law, both of whom are in the industry. Donald Trump and the Ellisons did this. I pledge to boycott Oracle, just as I am boycotting Dell. And Ellison fils fancies himself an actorr! Oh God. Oy vey. Ay de mi. Verdamft. Please join me in multilingual cursing. And please send out prayers to all those soon to be hit with the hard times in So Cal and Mich, where the tariff war is going to kill what’s left of Ford and GM. Mike Rogers deserves to be shamed for bringing up Dr El-Sayed’s mother in the debate, instead of talking about what Republicans will do to save the auto industry, family farms, and the entertainment industry!
Thanks for Wonkette, and F*** Barbara Boxer forever!

Instead?
Like he was ever actual in contention for it. Please. Instead. Who wrote that and why are they writing a Nobel announcement only as it pertain to Trump? People who bomb school children don't get Nobel prizes!
"Gloria" in the memories of quite a few of us, as evidenced from the mentions below.
For me, it is linked to my high school gym class, sophomore gym. It was winter so we were inside. The boys and girls were each doing separate activities but they took some from each group and put them with the others. I was one of the boys who went to the girls side. I forget what the boys were doing, but the girls were doing aerobics and Gloria was one of the songs (Abracadabra by Steve Miller was the other I remember) we did the exercises to.
Not the kind of thing a 15 year boy wanted to do. I hated it.
"🚨BREAKING: Voting rights groups are citing recent ICE activity near voting sites and new evidence of intimidation as they expand a lawsuit seeking to keep armed federal agents away from polling places during the midterm elections."
I keep going back to Brooke's essay the other day; yeah, the bad shit keeps escalating.
But, OTOH, my neighbor was worried because my garage door was still up at 7:30 PM last night, so she texted and stopped by to check on me. I'm OK - just distracted! 😅
I got 2 email money begs yelling at me this morning from BOLD Democrats which is apparently a legit PAC but they look scammy (they should try less of this: ALL CAPS!! EMERGENCY!!! WE WILL MARK YOU AS AN UNREGISTERED VOTER IF YOU DON'T ANSWER!!!) That one pissed me off.
I never subscribe to any of these groups but they grab up all the email lists and fill up my inbox. Every morning it feels like I am unsubscribing from another email money beg. No I will not give money to you just because you say you are a Democrat, actually I ain't giving money to any of them as I do not have it.

Have a nice weekend!
Our trip into the micro world
Has truly been a blast
A big thanks to our tour guide
Before the week has passed
We got to see a week full
Of tiny little beasts
I just thank God that you are not
Glambassador to Greece.
I came straight to the comments to discover the source of your magical GIF! Very cool!
That's pornographic. Nice.
Is it a Monet, or a Manet?
It’s a minute, duh.
Or a Mamet.
But NOT a Mehmet.
Definitely not. a Mehmet is FAR too Oztentatious for my taste.
Crudites libelz.
Blewit?
Baroque: For when you're out of Monet.
The day before payday can be a b¡tch, especially for artists
What do you do when you're out of Giacobazzi?
𝘚𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘦...
It looks like Monet’s ‘Water Lilies’.
Cooperation helps everyone! Who would have thunk it?
Look for the helpers!

While we're at it, fuck Larry Klayman too.
And Ted Cruz.
HUGE NEWS THIS MORNING!!!
Losingest loser loses AGAIN. SUCH a loser!!!
"The Norwegian Nobel Committee instead awarded the 2026 prize Friday to veteran South African jurist and human rights advocate Navanethem “Navi” Pillay, honoring her decades-long work defending human rights, advancing international justice and pursuing accountability for war crimes and genocide."
HUGE TANTRUM LATER THIS MORNING!
So glad they gave it to a true advocate of peace and justice.
He's too busy calling anyone who calls it Artificial Intelligence "the enemy"
"You realize, this means war!"

Hey, Erick, the child diddling human trafficking rapists are /inside your fucking party you fucking tool/
Sorry Becca, this old Goth is not a fan of "Gloria".
WHAT? You crush my heart, Rosy. Stomp, smash!
It's not really a good song and the message is...wtf are you trying to say anyway...but damn if I do not turn it up loud anyway.
Sorry NOPE! If that came on my radio I would switch the station.
May you land on a country station.
All I would do is switch it again. It's too bad there are no goth stations but I have my phone for that! (I do listen to other music than goth)
there's GOT to be a Goth cover version somewhere.
if not, there should be.
I could go for a Diamanda Galas cover version.
I can totally hear it.
I'm waiting for the polka version to take off.
😳

His "fans" are ugly and were shame a thing anymore, should be shunned by decent people everywhere.
"Trump showed up in Texas looking for cheers. Instead, his rally turned into absolute chaos.
Protesters interrupting, Trump supporters getting physical, shouting matches, and security scrambling. So much for that Paxton boost."

A small slice of what he's done to the country.
I have two sisters who don't speak because of that fucker. If I believed in hell, I would hope he rotted there once he takes a dirt nap.
Imagine if any Democrat had posted nonsense like this. It's just embarrassing at this point.

He says so much shit, his words no longer have meaning. It is all one big blur of stupidity and insanity.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
It's not super intelligence, it's super DUPER intelligence!
The people that invented it should call it what ever they want. He's so petty, so tiny.
I'm gonna call it Hal.
And so tiresome.
Sweet dairy jeebus, that boy's cheese done slid off his cracker!
I AM his enemy and I am PROUD of it! THANKS AmeriKKKa for saddling us with that stupid orange ASSHOLE.

It's easy for me, an old white guy, to say "ICE agents at the polling place? Who cares? I'll say good morning as I stroll right past them."
An Arab-American? A first-generation Hispanic American or recently naturalized citizen? Not so damn easy.
Especially since they have detained and even arrested american citizens for the crime of looking brown
That one in california had to get like a restraining order demanding they stop arresting him
Which states will ask for UN election monitors?
They ALL should.
I wonder if they'll actually end up shooting someone at the polls.
Who's going to stop them?
Us.
all signs point to 'yes'
I keep going back to Brooke's essay the other day; yeah, the bad shit keeps escalating.

Check on your neighbors: that is the message.
Powerful testimony from JoJo from Jerz. To me she is such a hero, in a time filled with creepy cowardly assholes in power. Subject warning rape.
