Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Bark louder, little dog.

I really should read my own blog.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Joshua Bittker over at Smarterpundit is confused and a bit testy about the price of his science journals. Here is Josh’s main argument:

A subscription to Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is much more expensive than a subscription to Time, by a margin of $225.00 to $24.95.

To help Josh, I have posted this link for him, which may help. The relevant info is:

“Economies of Scale-These occur when mass producing a good results in lower average cost. Economies of scale occur within an firm (internal) or within an industry (external).”
