Our friend and most excellent Wonker V4Virginia has died from complications following her lobectomy. I considered her a dear friend and she was truly a wonderful human.
Damn. Just... damn. I remember V4Virginia from back when we used to comment at Eschaton. She was a thoughtful, clever, insightful woman. Peace and healing to her and her family.
Oh, I'm sad to hear this. She was a lovely, vibrant part of this community. I'm sure she was more so in person. 😔 My condolences to her family and friends, I send them all strength and love. 💔
Oh, this one hurts. My deepest condolences to Mr V4 and their family. My heart is aching for them right now. I hope they know that her memory will always be a blessing to us.
Sad news. V4 was a wonderful person. My condolences to her family. I hope they know how everyone feels about her in this little corner of the internet.
I can only echo the sentiments of other Wonkers who have already spoken so beautifully about V4, how shocking this is, how much we will miss her. My deepest condolences to her family and all who loved her.
I guess if Sir could make the very top of his luxurious hair flatter, more solid, something that would support Sir's spectacular demonstration of skill during Sir's "close-in arguing" when Sir will WOW the nation and the world with Sir's artisanal-curated-choreographed-to-express-the-joys-of-Mass-Deportation Break Dance, then...
Early voting started. Republicans are flooding the polling data with bullshit and depressing everyone. ALL of this comes far too late. WaPo noticing Trump is a dotard after months of sanewashing, NYTimes endorsing Harris after doing the same, Kelly or whichever general going on tour begging people not to vote for Trump. You are four fucking years too late. If Trump wins (god help us all) you enablers made it happen and you can't run away from it at the last minute.
The endless, bleak, disheartening political ads can’t end soon enough. Trump’s are horrible, and total BS of course. I can’t understand what he’s saying at the end of each TV spot due to his slurring, but I think it’s “I’m Donald Trump and I’ll assault this massage therapist.”
Sometimes, I talk weird when I'm real high. Maybe Trump's just real high? I know I certainly can't condemn anyone for that. Of course, no matter how high I get, I don't expect people to make me President of the United States.
The Post, LA Times, and NY Times are all crap. But Wonkette has let me down a teeny bit too: Where's the whip? You know, the black cat woman, who had a whip. If Harris wins, can we get the whip back?
And why were we not taught about this when I was in school 60 years ago? We also weren't taught a single thing about Cahokia Mounds, the largest prehistoric Native American city north of Mexico, which was 130 miles away from my little town, and well within the distance limits for a class field trip.
We were not taught this because it was about non-rich non-white men. Don't forget, the WingNut/Repub crowd has not interest in people who aren't like them except to use women as broodmares and the poor as cheap labor.

It's so sad. She was a light in the comments.

My sincere condolences. It hurts to lose a light that shines so bright.
Oh no! My condolences.

I'm so sorry to hear this. My condolences to her family and friends. I wish them comfort, peace and healing.
I am really sorry to hear that Zig. I may grumble about folks and engage in banter, but it really hits home when we lose one of our own.
I always liked getting that little heart from her on a post, I knew I had done right!
Oh my god, no. No. We shall sorely miss her.
I'm just getting here, so many comments... I'm glad her graduation was peaceful.

Thank you, Ziggy.
This is hard.
To be fair, it could be that he's never actually heard or used the word fryer in his life. Too plebian.

"THE WEAVE"
If your dementia -- oops, "oratorical strategy" -- makes you hit random topics, YOU WILL EVENTUALLY HIT ONE TWICE
THIS DOES NOT PROVE YOU INTENDED TO
If you take a deck of cards and turn up a 5, then turn up eight more cards, and the tenth is another five, THAT'S NOT INTENTIONAL, IT'S FUCKING RANDOM
IT'S NOT A DAMN "WEAVE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I forgot what I was going to say.
"Fabricate" is a synonym for "weave".
I think that's what TFA is telling us. He "fabricates" a lot of lies in his marathon babblethons.

It is because of Blue Origins. Bezos is a coward, a weasel and a corrupt little Trump-licker.

Fuck the WAPO.
Budgie going sleepy times.
Peaceful sleep to all.

Totally!!!
