Missouri, I am your most passionate defender on the left coast, but sometimes you make it really goddamn hard.

Welp, folks, "duck poop administrator" really saw right through my mask. Sorry everybody
I posted "A whole lot of you seem to think that it would be a net positive for Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris to say “Fuck Dick Cheney, so glad that asshole’s dead!” and that, to me, is a sign that you should probably log off for a stretch." "duck poop administrator" replied "You're a reactionary and a supporter of white supremacy."

It’s time for me to make a difficult confession. The people my dogs know as “Aunt Arlie” and “Aunt Nicole” and “Uncle Matt” are not, and never have been, their biological aunts and uncles. It was never our intention to mislead the American people and we apologize.

For maximum authenticity, you have to steal someone else's kitchen table to build it on
Facebook ad with photo of Lego model of Dodger Stadium and text: Nestled in the heart of Los Angeles, Dodger Stadium is one of the most beloved ballparks in Major League Baseball. Since 1962, it has been home to some of the greatest players and most unforgettable moments in the sport’s history. With its breathtaking backdrop of the San Gabriel Mountains and electric game-day atmosphere, Dodger Stadium is a true icon of baseball.

Californians, we have got to make sure Prop 50 passes. Talk to your friends and neighbors. Don’t assume they understand the proposition or the stakes. Go get votes.

Facebook sucks but this memory from 2012 made me happy. Maybe the Cardinals will make us happy again someday.
Tweets from Bernie Miklasz on the night the Cardinals stunned the Nats in the 2012 NLDS. Chronologically: * Pete Kozma. Can't be real. He's still in Memphis. Cardinals will drop hm from 40-man roster. You see, we're all imagining this. * A few of you asking what it was like in the press box: OK, here goes 1) Washington post writers in shock, Post writers in shock * 2) editors at WaPo and PD back in the office, having convulsions * 3) deadline panic. People shouting "is this really happening?" ....laughter, simply because it's so damned crazy and impossible. * 4) how the hell do I get to San Francisco? 5) Need more clothes. 6) Anyone have Excedrin? 7) 20-min column, collapse in chair. :)

“the article is badly written. he vetoed one bill that made changes to technical language of another bill and has taken no action on the other bills. if he does nothing the bills become law without his signature.” “sorry, to clarify my own post -- he vetoed one bill that made changes to *existing policy*, not another bill. and it's policy that's already under review in a study so...again, not worth the fury demanded by the bsky masses” “I was suspicious when i couldn't find any reporting on this from other sources”

I've been mildly curious about the movie "Soul on Fire" because of its St. Louis connections, but the trailer looks like dreadful pop-Christian schlock, and I don't think I can sit quietly in a theater and pretend that this is Jack Buck.

Just checking to see if anyone's lost their job for quoting Jane Goodall talking about empathy....?

RIP to the kind of human who makes being human seem like something that can be done well.
Blue background and Jane Goodall quote: "I think empathy is really important, and I think only when our clever brain and our human heart work together in harmony can we achieve our full potential."

Fuck you, Washington Post. Fuck you. She devotes most of her life to honest and honorable public service and this is the headline you give her in your fucked-over Opinion section. Fuuuuuuuuuck you.
