A bit of levity from 2024 to brighten your day. Read the whole thing: Chuck leaves Althouse.
"Chuck said... This is my last post on your comments pages, Althouse.
You have email from me letting you know why. Indeed, you have three emails from me today pointing out certain vaguely threatening comments from your TrumpWing readership. You didn't have the decency to reply to any of them, although I do see that you nearly immediately removed one of the offending posts. Why you didn't remove any of the others is beyond me. Check your mail for specifics. I think you will know why you should have taken action, when you consider all the facts.
Today was the last straw for me, after years of abuse from your commentariat. The use of your blog's comments pages for the purpose of possible personal threats is the end for me. No one should expect you to police all comments the moment that they appear. But when you are notified of major problems that defy your own commenting rules, and you fail to respond, that is on you."
Curious that we're hearing so little about voter fraud from MAGA this time around. Were the numbers simply too convincing to challenge? And if elections across the country can be accepted as free and fair now, what does that say about the years of claims that the system was rigged in 2020?
Beautiful, Althouse! As always. I love the blues. I'm a blue man. My dog is named Blue. But I guess I got a little dark in me. Cause I'm digging the spooky Halloween. I guess it's a few days after Halloween.
Spooky Halloween Art is a horrible title for your art book, by the way. If you were thinking of calling it that. Whenever you try to market your art book.
I've got so much art on my walls and apparently I'm the only one who likes it. I feel bad for Van Gogh. Chopping off his ear. That's a hell of a marketing strategy! And it did not work.
Dont trip on what you cant see with the naked eye. No sense in taking dumb risks for yer fine fella... Even if you have used up your ER deductible, boomer.
…made it through most of the say without one equivalent statement to ‘I for one welcome our new insect overlords’…also that affordability promise seems to have been left behind in favor of the impeachment war dance…
I picked this name "Saint Croix" 25 years ago, when I was just a kid. I was reading about stocks in the public library, on the computers there, at this website called the Motley Fool. I think you needed an online name back then? And so I picked "Saint Croix" because I wanted to get rich and live on an island in the Virgin Islands named Saint Croix.
I had no idea Saint Croix meant "Holy Spirit." I was just an ignorant kid, going around calling myself Saint Croix online, because I thought the name sounded cool.
My regular life is so ordinary. But my online life? It got a little strange.
I have trouble figuring out Daylight Savings Time. Walking home today at 5 pm it all became clear -- or rather dark -- to me. Not a morning riser, I expect it to be that dark at 6 am, not at 5 pm.

Replies are gentle.
One less whiner…

Looks like the lighting from the famous scene in the Excorcist

Sometimes I think a few of you are smarter than I am.
Love the sinner hate the sin.

…not much embarrassment about using the courts to overwhelm their enemies with ‘investigation’ either…

"…also that affordability promise seems to have been left behind"
Don't bet on it. "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy" is an affordability promise.
