That Annie Andrews video was awesome, as was this quote from the Ezra Klein article:
"... as if Democrats haven't been running aw-shucks half-conservatives and grotesque prosecutors in red districts my entire fucking life, as if the largest part of the public's perception of Democrats as weak and malleable can't be pinned entirely on their refusal ever to fucking stand for anything."
And I posit this election was about healthcare for all, housing, and decency..I think we found out that actually, most Americans find unfettered vulgarity, crassness, cruelty, and racism unacceptable.
Today is Singles Day in China. Also known as "Bare Sticks Day" (because 11/11). Started in the 1990s to commemorate the surplus men created by the one-child policy, which led to aborted, abandoned, and murdered female babies. But now it's more like another Valentine's Day.
I am feeling unsettled by a November 11 that seems to have little of remembrance about it. Not here, especially. - Wonkette doesn’t need to be all things for errybody. - but in my little town and among my friends. It seems with the passing of the generation whose parents were alive during The Great War, that is, of my parents, a greater stillness has set in. I didn’t know my grandfather who fought in WWI. I don’t even know his story. And now it’s gone.
My father-WWII vet and history teacher-felt that the US muddled the message when we made Armistice Day "Veterans Day". Honor living veterans of all wars with a separate holiday, don't do it on the cheap.
"Mr. Trump was the author of the ruin. He picked the candidates to back, made the decisions on strategy, decided what to say and when to spend the money in his war chest. (Late in the election, according to the New York Times, when the price of ads had been jacked up; he considered it “my money.”)
He is fuming and casting blame—it was Fox News’s polls; if he’d been on the ballot it would have been “a landslide”; Greg Abbott is “a RINO.” Please. It was you, Fredo."
I would like to request "pobrecito habibi" merch, after the phrase in one of yesterday's articles had me and a coworker rolling on the floor and will be gratuitously added to our lexicon.

Peggy Noonan...Edge Lord.
I LOVE THAT LE CHAT NOIR STICKER SO MUCH 😻
For Skepti, fierce atheist
“What do you think happens when we die, Keanu Reeves?”
“I know that the ones who love us will miss us.”
https://youtu.be/etlBZInTE-I?is=5t6W-3ALxoocKEIq
Love that.
For Skepti, our satirical, skeptical, spectacular friend <3
Losing Skepti is a tough blow. She was often my light.
That defector piece was :::chef's kiss:::
Ezra interviews JOHN FETTERMAN'S chief of staff, who thinks we should "reach out" to Republicans.
FUCK THAT SHIT.
"reach around"
Hasn't his boss done enough of that for all of us? I mean, we should be set for this year's reaching out quota
Like, the guy ran up a reaching out deficit.
So we're owed a little face slappin
We can start with John, and work our way across the aisle
Let's take a moment to bid a fond farewell to Mike Johnson . . .
It's Abby. Yep
@itsabbyyep.bsky.social
St. Peter at the Pearly Gates: Did you live by the Ten Commandments?
Mike Johnson: I have no idea. I have not seen those

Mike Johnson's phone on the morning of November 4th:
"Are you sure you want to remove Covenant Eyes app?"
I already did my farewell to Mike Grindr Tiny Johnson. I tipped the flush handle twice this morning.
What's funny is that back in 2025, he thought he was going to be a major player. lol

Skepti. I don't even know what to say. I will miss her so much.
Paul, such a tremendous loss for you and your family. Sending you love.

Under environmental news: SS United States to be sunk today creating world’s largest artificial reef.

Taserface speaks for me:

Nooners called Trump "Fredo". Wonkette should sue for plagarism!
"Mr. Trump was the author of the ruin. He picked the candidates to back, made the decisions on strategy, decided what to say and when to spend the money in his war chest. (Late in the election, according to the New York Times, when the price of ads had been jacked up; he considered it “my money.”)

oh. So she is not so much agin' what he has done to this country, but that he lost the GOP the midterms.
I never liked that guy claims drunk woman who assured us we should all give that guy a break because he was going to do wonderful things for everyone
