Georgia Republicans are evil, Charles Mudede is simply inept.

Coca-Cola threatened with boycott for not opposing Georgia voting bills

Georgia activists are planning to launch a boycott of Coca-Cola Co., one of Atlanta's largest and most well-known companies, over its apparent refusal to denounce a GOP-backed bill in the Georgia legislature that would limit voter access.

hit 'em in the pocketbook
it's where they'll Feel it most

but Why drink carbonated
sugar water anyways

I swear to the gods when the next election rolls around, after I vote, I will gather up a bunch of snacks and bottled water and hand them out to people waiting in line to vote.

Go ahead and arrest me. I want to be charged with "giving food to hungry people." I'll wear that conviction like a fucking badge of courage.

I dare those so-called christians to arrest me for giving food to the needy. I. Fucking. Dare. Them.

@5: I'll join you, but let's do with canapés and macaroons.

and welcome back Chase

gosh Urg they're just gonna Arrest anyone taking said food or h2o (or nummies) and Nullify their "tampered" Vote. crafty these fuckers are. just when ya think they'll go no lower can Get no lower they up and Surprise you.

but we Vote by mail here in WA so joining up might be a bit of a Stretch from here. Idaho's closer -- have they outlawed the non-White vote yet?

we can take 'em Hot potatoes
(hand warmers cum Snacks
all in one) & perhaps stools...

@5 - Oh, they'll happily do it, but the resulting civil suit will have that shit overturned, so you'll be doing...hmm, not the "lord's work, since there is no lord...but something akin to that.

@6,8,9,

I am opposing the fascists, and that's sort of all I need to know.

@8, I suspect there aren't enough non-whites in Idaho for those tighty right wing whiteys to go that far:). However, if enough lefty techies start moving there, look for them to start limiting voting access to newcomers.

World Central Kitchen was in Georgia in January handing out food and water to everyone waiting in line. I'd really like to see the Repugnant assholes who passed this legislation try to bring down Jose Andres. His organization has literally fed this country and the world during this pandemic while the people in Washington played with their anuses and did nothing until forced to do something. If the Republicans truly believe this not going to come back on them and literally destroy them they are more delusional than their QAnon followers and MAGA hat wearing insurrectionists currently whining and crying about being charged with sedition when they were "just following Trump's orders!!!" I hope this burns this country down and ends Republicans forever.

All these horrible Republicans who both support this law and talk about what good Christians they supposedly are.

If Jesus were to return today, The Republicans would execute him as a BLM terrorist and member of ANTIFA.

Jessica Walter was also memorable as a love interest in John Frankenheimer’s “Grand Prix”, God bless her, may she rest in peace—an American treasure. Ironically, the Republican fetish to limit voting rights may have been instrumental in the green-orange howler-monkey’s political demise last November. Republicans led by Trump and his backward ways have kept America morally and ethically insane and in the dark socially, as manifested by hairy Jeff Bezos anti-unionism and all the regressive police brutality we see today, not to mention the border crisis, which President Biden has ably addressed by throwing open the borders and lifting Lady Liberty’s skirts so everyone can come in and enjoy the Great American Franchise, although Biden does a great Gerald Ford imitation, in the Chevy Chase tradition, when he skewers his border-crossing numbers. Nevertheless, Biden’s bold proclamation on increased vaccinations is a welcome antidote to Trump’s dithering on the topic, which also contributed to his welcome political destruction and potential conviction and prison molestation for tax evasion. One COVID shot in each buttock, please. Hopefully that helpless little Pomeranian will find her master soon, thanks and a tipster to the Good Samaritan who stepped in to help. What a little sweetie! Nice to see Governor Inslee loosening the COVID restrictions and hopefully students can return to school next year, God willing. Those poor children are watching YouTube and perfecting their bong-manufacturing skills when they could be learning the three R’s. Van Gogh probably did not intend for his work to be viewed immersivity, whatever that is, however, Art is Art and you can view it from many perspectives. You can write about it or reproduce it on your shower curtain. It isn’t like religion, which worshippers like to keep in the refrigerator and take out the ice box on Sunday morning, although you should treat it with respect. Hopefully some of those Jacob Lawrence masterpieces will come in from the cold. There was an obscure Cezanne discovered languishing in someone’s French kitchen some years back and dutifully sold for an astronomical price. It had literally been auctioned off from a rail company lost and found. These brittle earthquake-prone buildings will naturally be replaced with more resilient structures as Seattle continues to tear-down and replace existing structures, so there’s no need to fret—let the real estate market and Mother Nature take their course. Mr. Mudede is correct, one shipping disaster can upset world economies and markets in this computerized world of shoot-from-the hip financial transactions, although the 30-year mortgage rate is hovering around 3 percent, so there’s lots of cheap money out there for your next financial acquisition. Those blue globs on the beach are reminiscent of an Outer Limits episode addressing Global Warming, which is developing as we speak.

@14: You may be proud of your style, but no paragraph breaks makes your commentary very difficult to read and so a lot of us will just skip it.

Which is sad because you do have interesting things to say.

@5 use a robot. Imagine the YouTube views you'll get as the Georgia police roll-up being all fat and pepper spray a non-living entity.
When the cops try to question it, the only thing it should say is "happy birthday Paulie".
Use ad money generated from YouTube to assemble a fleet of trouble-making bots, use them to pull pranks on the redneck masses of Georgia. Hang a fake AR-15 from a drone a fly it low over a Piggly Wiggly parking lot and create your own version of redneck pin~ata.

I'm going to miss Mallory's voice. I hope though they don't write her out of Archer which is probably nearing its final run anyway. One more season, I think. We forget how incredible that animation has been.

Also loved Jessica (so photogenic!) as the teasing cat-virgin in The Group. Always sad to lose one of the Greats.

@15 pollysexual is like poet ee cummings with his broken shift key—a distinctive stylish touch...😜

@19: That fits when style trumps communication.

Speaking of these language experiments, M. L. Rosenthal wrote in The Modern Poets: A Critical Introduction: “The chief effect of Cummings’ jugglery with syntax, grammar, and diction was to blow open otherwise trite and bathetic motifs through a dynamic rediscovery of the energies sealed up in conventional usage.... He succeeded masterfully in splitting the atom of the cute commonplace.”

“At heart,” Logan explained, “the quarrels of Cummings are a resistance to the small minds of every kind: political, scientific, philosophical, and literary, who insist on limiting the real and the true to what they think they know or can respond to."
