Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Not all heroes wear capes.

I really should read my own blog.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

After roe, women are no longer free.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

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

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Weird Spam

Am I the only one who has been getting stream of consciousness spam lately? This latest one had the subject of ‘diagnose jerky,’ and the text stated:

“Unlike so many brides who have made their molten sandwich to us.When ball bearing near food stamp laughs out loud, coward about mortician daydreams.”

I have been getting a lot like this.

    I was getting that weird stream of consciousness stuff for a couple of months but I think my spam filter finally picked up on it. Lately I’ve been getting lots of Russian spam.

    I think I’ve read somewhere that it’s an ongoing attempt to defeat Bayesian filters. By “teaching” your anti-spam filters that ordinary “non-spam” words are spam, they hope that eventually you’ll have to dial back your spam protection… thus letting more of the crap through.

    Alternately, they’re hoping that a high proportion of “non-spam” words in the mail will cause your filters to start letting spam through.

    Either way, they’re bastards.

    Fortunately, the stream of consciousness spammers have not yet found my email address, but I am sure they soon will.

    I’m convinced it’s SKYNET pre-conscious musing. We’re doomed.

    I’m thinking it’s probably a Chinese-to-German-to-Japanese-to-English Babelfish translation of something perfectly straightforward.

    Or it could be the Bayesian thing.
