Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

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

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

Let me file that under fuck it.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

    Back in the day, Goofy, Micky or Minnie blotter or purple microdot was the good stuff. This clip would have been fun to watch then, but then so would the AfterDark screen savers…lol! The home PC age and acid just didn’t sync up at the same time in history.

    This is pretty inventive art, and I bet it took a lot of time to set up. Nice catch!

    May I be the first to say HOLY LIVING SHIT THAT’S INCREDIBLE.

    This is why education and leisure time are good for society; they make it possible for people to create art like that.

    Terry Gilliam comes to mind.
    Seems I see his influence in many current themes.

    For those who may have not seen this Daily Show clip, enjoy. Had me shooting milk through my nose. Maybe John can enlighten us on the venerable tradition of the West Virginia douche-off.;)

    Nice tributes to Q*bert, Shel Silverstein and (possibly) James Thurber.

    I wonder how long that took. Weeks? Months? YEARS?

    Unless, like, the whole thing was done on like, a computer and, like, just made to look real.

    Whoa.

    Want a bad trip? I like this one. For my money, the “best” part starts a little under a minute in…

    Somebody sure had a lot of time on their hands. Oh my, Orange Microdot, Purple Haze, Mr Natural and assorted others…

    I forgot about that ‘flavor’… ;)

    Windowpane was one of my favorites. You could drop a corner in your eye, it was that clean. Acid was like mushrooms for me, more like speed with a dose of nitrous. I never hallucinated from it, and I ate a lot of it. You would think of goofy things, like stepping off a curb and thinking ‘wow, my foot has to go a long way to hit the ground’, or running though a store and think of standing still while the food in the aisle rushed past you, but no ‘colors’, distortions or doing things that your don’t remeber the next day. Sometimes the perma-grin would leave your face muscles hurting the next day, but it was always worth it.

    Never had a bad trip, but I learned long ago that acid should not be taken by those who do not have a good sense of humor. Dark personalities seem to get a bad trip more often than not. But if you like to laugh your ass off at anything, then acid was the ride to take.

    Ah, the good old daze… :D
