It's February, so she's mostly only snuggling. Your turn

I like this anti-simile from Noir by Christopher Moore:
"She had the kind of legs that kept her butt from resting on her shoes"

Assholes earned a decent ratio though

These cows are on loan from Finland

No they have to tell you if they're a cop

It's notl surprising that they have mostly abandoned those topics in their messaging since the election – the electorate apparently agrees with Trump on those issues, especially in swing states. It sucks, and they should grow a spine and stand for something, but they can't control the narrative

I don't know, to me it seems like the Dems are pulled hardest to the right after losses. The narrative of this cycle is that voters punished Dems for:
1. Causing inflation
2. Too many immigrants
3. Being too friendly to trans people
4. DEI
5. Supporting Ukraine and Gaza

This would go in the other direction if everyone actually voted for the lesser evil each time. Your chart is what happens when people refuse to vote.

More often, the party will notice that they lost, and the lesson they take from it is that the other party is way more popular with people who vote. And with every election, the losing party has to play against whatever structural advantages that accrued to the party in power in the last cycle

Key Fargo

Mr. Rogers was controversial in some evangelical communities at the time. My dad's stance was, "You know who else likes you just the way you are? Satan."

Must be the Pittsford stretch of Monroe Ave...

JESUS WEPT

Ok, did he do this seriously, or was it a "it'll be funny to see what ridiculous things Grok suggests, and I bet she'd find it funny too" kind of thing?

We're not even over wide right and 13-seconds yet

Please refrain from making blanket comments about Bluesky users. When you lump us all together, you.. [1/?]

This reminded me of a question I had – when you were writing Sacre Bleu, did you have an abbreviation for "Toulouse-Lautrec" or did you write it out every time?

It's for men who are curious, but... you know...

"Live with people who are genuinely different from us."

This is the opposite of the entire GOP project.

Wait I thought the Epstein files were a distraction from grocery prices

Fellini Satyricon is such a wild banger

When my twins were four, I had this exchange at Christmas:

Kid: Dad, I don't think I believe in...

Me internally: oh shit this is too early I don't have a plan for this what am I gonna

Kid: ...Eartha Kitt.

Me internally: AW HELL WTF KID I DON'T HAVE A PLAN FOR

Me: that's ok, kiddo. Why not?

"Brought to you by Bank of America" is just beyond parody

This is also why everything seems like a distraction. Like surely they're doing the really important evil stuff in quiet..

No way to know – they're dead

Bels are certainly more cursed than decibels

I Wonder What Kind Of Message I'm Sending To The Troops I support the troops from the bottom of my heart. But my question is, do they know that? What if I’m somehow sending them the wrong message?

Incredible. Reminded me of this Onion article from 2006
theonion.com/i-wonder-wha...

Clover the dog lies dreamily on my arm with her sleepy eyes almost closed. She and OP's dog Choco appear to be the same dog despite differences in age and location

Forgive me, but Clover just came in for the hard snuggle and I had to share.

Yes. Remember that the final NT book, which I think was titled "Jesus 2: The Rejesusening," has Him returning to the fallen world (and this time he isn't meek and mild). They'll always use eschatology to try to justify kicking some undesirables' collective ass
