Lady S

I'm watching it for the first time now!

::scours the internet for weeks looking for reliable resellers so that my daughter has that magical memory of Santa bringing her the secret Labubu she's been dying for::

Liar. How stupid do you think we are, not to know you + your pathetic spineless caucus coordinated this monstrous cave-in, finding 8 simps that are retiring or safe from an immediate primary to be the sacrificial "yes" votes. Not a single Dem senator wins my support until they vote you out as leader

You disgust me. As a VA Democrat I’m humiliated that I ever voted for you and you can be assured I won’t make that mistake again

I mean, I didn't see most of the trolling, but I thought most people were just laughing about the generation gap and feeling old about it, much like I did the time I told my younger coworker that I had a massive crush on George Michael when I was a teen, and she said "wasn't he one of the Beatles?"

Not to mention grounding all cargo flights too. Goodbye, overnight shipping!

25+ years in DC making it a point of personal pride never to call National Airport by any other name, and yet...

He's gonna "consider" giving it to charity. Yes, like I "consider" getting the fat-free sorbet when my kids and I are at Baskin Robbins.

(On the other hand, mom’s bank account is taking a very practical stance against dropping $120 on a freaking Fortnite costume plus plastic battle axe, holy crap)

Sure, I'm sure my 8 year old will love hearing there's no costume for them this year because mom's taking a principled stand against government overreach.

Boy do I feel this. It's a small part of my job to write a single column every other month for a professional magazine, and it kills me every time. It's 1200 words, ffs, why does it take me so long to write 1200 words?

This is the third time this week I've sat squinting at my screen for an hour only to realize the brightness level has been turned down. Either something is wrong with this laptop, or my cat is trying to gaslight me into thinking I'm going blind.

Ditto, except that I then changed my zip code to one that's closer to Maryland, and suddenly I had appointment options. So now I'm schlepping myself and my mother across state lines this weekend so we can both get the jab.

Agreed. It’s the same reason why there are so many mysteries set in the Victorian era—because who wouldn’t want to play in the world of Sherlock Holmes?

I wish we had mandatory education sentences in this country. Destroy a weather radar system? Incarcerated until you can pass an 8th grade science exam. Damage to government facilities? Civics. Threaten a medical provider? Good luck getting through med school!

Like this isn't the most dystopian idea ever: Ping! This is United Healthcare. Our records indicate that you had a chili dog for supper. We are increasing your monthly insurance payment by $54/month to reflect the increase in risk factors for cardiac infarction. Have a nice day!

I will have to find that! I finally took the leap recently of showing Star Wars to my 7yo twins, and while I will forever die on the hill of the originals being the best and ONLY version worth watching... I did kind of cry a little at how fuzzy and dull the films are on a modern screen.

No expert here but I would love to hear you call him out on hypocrisy: Does he support personal choice re: vaccines? Or does he support federal authority to control vaccines? Is limiting access to Covid boosters supportive of choice? Or are we only free to make choices that he agrees with?

Such a sad reason, but omigosh is this a beautiful quilt! If this were an Etsy listing, my mortgage payment might be a bit late this month...

I feel so validated right now. There are (unread) books in my house that have been travel companions of mine for years.

Forget flying cars, the worst crime committed by The Jetsons was to make me believe we'd be much closer to bathroom-scrubbing and dish-doing robots by now.

Shades of that old DC fave Marion Barry: "DC has a very low crime rate, outside of the murders."

*AG, I meant: Attorney General

It's also an illegal lottery. Which as I read it, is a class B misdemeanor and gives the state the right to seize the prize money. Hope the Wis AJ is on it!

Are you kidding with this? Most of us aren't texting classified military secrets. Sh*t, I use better security planning my kids' birthday party than these fools use for the lives of American soldiers!

A rare missed opportunity by the Onion!

Supreme Court Makes Pact To Lose Virginity By End Of Year WASHINGTON, DC—By an 8-1 vote Monday, the members of the U.S. Supreme Court collectively resolved to lose their virginity by Dec. 31, 2002.

Also not a member of the Supreme Court, but this one dates back to when I was in law school, and I will never ever forget what "res ipsa loquitur" means thanks to its mentally scarring last sentence

You are playing fiddle while the country burns and the Democratic party dies with a whimper. If you can't stand up now, then RESIGN.

@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social NO on cloture, NO on the bill. We did not elect you so that you could "keep your powder dry" or whatever euphemism the DNC is using to rationalize their complacency and unwillingness to stand up for the people being hurt most by King Musk and his agenda.
