Chuck Schumer looks down his nose at McConnell while Mitch postures like a maddened lizard. Chuck meets his eyes with a stern school-mistress glare, tapping a wooden ruler against his palm...a promise of the violence to come.

"Mommy?" a voice quavers from the closet.

"Not now, Pence. Mommy's busy."

So.
5 Republicans vote no on spending bill and it's democrats fault.
Ok.
Sure.

Somewhere in DC, Mitch McConnell is inflating his neck pouch in a display of territorial aggression against Chuck Schumer.

Holy shit. Read this, seriously, I'm laughing myself into tears over here. This guy is tweet-storming an absolutely insane "Twitter novel" about...modern politics? And the Oprah conspiracy? I swear it's a lot funnier than that sounds. It's utterly mad. SUPER long, and still being written I guess.

Totally loling over here.

There was a time when I felt that I was far too offensive and controversial to entertain the idea of a career in politics. I swear too much, and care about people's opinions and the arbitrary standards of decorum too little.

However, the past year has made it clear that I was simply ahead of my time. 😎

I get that we're in such a bad place that a single good speech is enough to make some of us absurdly optimistic, but we need to keep unqualified celebrities out of the White House. Period.

Have we learned nothing?

My dudes, seriously my head is spinning. I can't even begin to list out how weird the first few days of 2018 has been so far, holy shit.

I don't buy this whole "Trump vs. Bannon" thing. Bannon was on good terms with him last month. Granted there's been some friction; who knows, :Asshat:'s ire might even be genuine. But in no way do I think that Bannon made some kind of a mistake and ended up on Trump's bad side. Bannon is calculated as fuck, and it wouldn't shock me in the slightest to find out that this whole thing is one big red herring meant to divert our attention - which is a standard Trump move.

Eyes open - stay frosty.

Went to a club for NYE. Knew I would hate the inflated prices and long bar lines, so I had a flask stuffed in a tampon box in my purse.

When I was in BCT I had my ex send chocolates stuffed in tampon boxes because it was the only thing the DS wouldn't check. Chocolate is like cigarettes in prison - currency. I used to pay other recruits to do my laundry so I could sleep in (if you've enlisted, you know sleep is worth more than gold in BCT).

Prison economy ftmfw. Happy New Year, bitches!

Man I love that Netflix releases new seasons of shows AT MIDNIGHT on the day of release. None of this pussyfooting until 9pm in all time zones. -- me, watching Black Mirror S4 right now

The Mastodon guy is also objectively wrong when he claims that regional blocks are ineffective because it won't stop dedicated bad actors. Most bad actors are bots or otherwise *not* dedicated - they rely on mass numbers. IP and proxy blocks won't stop all of them, but it hugely reduces them and makes it much more manageable for moderators. I'm a community manager by profession and barring Bangladesh/India/Russia/China almost nixes spam accounts, in my experience.

I really am not seeing the big deal with other Mastodon sites isolating CoSo. I mean it sounds like they're being dicks, but who cares?

The #1 instance is a Japanese lolicon community - it's all drawings of foxes with dicks and sexualized preteen girls. All of the top 10 save for CoSo and the main Mastodon site are non-English. So sue me but are we REALLY missing out by not being able to cross message with them? Cuz I dunno about you guys but I don't chat up furries.

So I'm seeing a similarity between Melania Trump's bad selfie edit game and old Tool album cover art, and I'm a bit disturbed by it. Haha.

Girl, this is America. We don't allow bad use of the clone tool, here.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are times where I'm kinda happy to not have any local family connections, as all my friends are posting about arguing with their relatives at holiday get togethers. Seems like everyone has the racist uncle or born again aunt. Nah, I'm good.

According to this trending article on Twitter, today should be the WORST DAY OF 2017. That's a pretty high bar, tbh.

Bets on what could happen to make today live up to that hype?
