Well, this is one of those days that makes DU so special

Having been here for way too long I can tell you that these days happen every once in a while. Some of these type days are conciliatory but some of them are like today.

Insightful. Informative. And flat out hilarious. I've literally laughed out loud about 10 times today at posts and responses.


DU has been on a tear today.

Thanks for making the bizarre into something good.

I too have had a couple of out loud laughs. I need to get back to work but lordy I cannot seem to make myself do it today. The boss (me) is getting angry!

I just got on, and only saw a little hilarity so far. And I can't stay on to long. Gonna try being productive before work. For a change.

Back in the days with the full steam of the corporate media promoting the war with Iraq and feeling isolated here in a red red state I found people that live in the reality based world here on DU.

And yes, there are so many people here that make me laugh and are so sharp with their humor.


Peace

It was kind of enjoyable not being freaked out by the words "breaking news" for a day.

Nothing like IV Demerol and whatever it was (Versed?) that made me forget everything for a whole day! It was a Trump free day!

First, many thanks! Where I work, there is no access to TV (other than via Internet, and we're way too busy to live-stream or even surf YouTube), so checking DU on breaks is extremely helpful.

Second, please reinforce the firewall and take other security measures to avoid a recurrence of the election night blackout. The same Русские (either ethnic or their mercenaries) who were responsible for that attack are no doubt honing their cyber-weapons for another attack, following recent developments. We cannot afford another blackout.
