Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Bark louder, little dog.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Books are my comfort food!

The willow is too close to the house.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

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

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

    I just moved to Dreamhost recently and I’ve been very happy with them. They’re cheaper than my previous host OneWebHosting, they have better customer service, and their accounts offer more bandwidth, disk space, and extras than any other hosting company I looked into.

    I have no idea if they’re appropriate to your needs, or have an appropriate solution, but the most honorable, and only honorable, and most respectable, and only respectable, people I’ve ever met or known offering online services were the folks at Panix.com, whom were first introduced to me in 1995 as the longest standing, most sensible and trustworthy people offering online services, and for every moment in the various years afterwards I worked with them, so it was.

    The only reason I fell away from them was that they charged money, and I wound up out of money. I never lost faith that they were dealing with me as fairly, honestly, cheaply, and best, as possible.

    There are very few folks I could ever remotely say anything like this about, anywhere. Since you asked.

    I’ve been with Livingdot.com since early April and have had absolutely no problems not of my own making. There appears to have been an upgrade to CPanel which screws up Movable Type; LivingDot has actually been agressive in countering the problem by downgrading certain modules on all of their servers until the new CPanel codes are addressed, and I haven’t had the problems over the weekend that others have had.

    I’m not sure your problems are related, though.

    Well, you know, John. I do web hosting. I host the QandO site, as a matter of fact. I’ve written the blog software that QandO uses, too.

    I’m just saying.

    I have penguin host. I think it’s penguinhost.net. It’s great. If you know a bit of UNIX it’s perfect, also they don’t chrge extra for the little things like email accounts or software since it’s UNIX based.

    As an anti-recoomendation. I had trouble with GoDaddy.com. They were kind of unhelpful and ended up telling me over the phone that they didn’t support MT. Something I’m still doubtful about, Imean, you’re a host and you don’t support MT!

    TextDrive. It’s where all the kool kids are (scroll down to “Applications” and see the developers who’ve chosen TextDrive … there’s a reason)
