Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

In my day, never was longer.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

This blog will pay for itself.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

75% of people clapping liked the show!

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

The National Guard is not Batman.

Stand up, dammit!

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Aneurysm Material I don’t recall

Aneurysm Material

I don’t recall if I have ever mentioned this before, but I occassionally purchase and play computer games. Some games I have played in the recent past include Civilization III, Unreal Tournament, Baldur’s Gate II, and Railroad Tycoon Platinum. No specific genre, just good games, IMHO.

At any rate, I have been waiting for two years for Never Winter Nights to come out. I rush out, by the game, install it, and the damned thing will not run. Why? Because it does not support 3dFX cards. I check the specs on the box. No mention that it does not work with 3dFX cards. Where do I finally find this out? In the readme.txt file that is installed when you install the game. So, pray tell, why can they include that information on the inside of the product, but they can not include the info on the OUTSIDE OF THE BOX SO YOU CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION?

Jerks.
