Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

“They all knew.”

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

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

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

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

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

    Have no idea why I looked at the NYTimes wedding section this morning, which is usually filled with odious overachievers in places I could never afford, but this story is pretty heartwarming. I’m glad they chose to write about it.

    Mr. Mix, what were you thinking when you inflicted that awful video on us. It’s bad guitar playing, bad voice, and a bad song. Now I have to go wash my ears out.

    @Gin & Tonic: Either that’s a bad link or the paywall is being a problem, because when I click that link it goes to a blank white page.

    Edit: after posting this I tried a 4th time, and suddenly the link came up. This happened to a few other people last night, but with links that I was able to open just fine. I wonder if those links were also to the NYT.

    @WaterGirl: Odd, because the URL in nancydarling’s post is identical to that in mine. And the paywall starts tomorrow anyway. Glad you got it to work.

    Here is some musical sorbet to cleanse your eardrums after mistermix’s odd choice.

    Yeah, it’s my little girl again. She started studying guitar three and a half years ago, but has been singing since before she could walk. Enjoy!

    Black Francis! LOVE! (Of course, I’m from Canada, where Leonard Cohen won best male vocalist at the Junos in 1993, so YMMV.)

    Paywall has started for Canucks: I’ve used up 19 of 20 freebies so far, but the wedding story was worth it.

    And for those keeping track: yes, I took my Vitamin D today.

    Black Francis, lead singer of one of the most influential rock bands, The Pixies. Great (don’t let the haters tell you otherwise).

    Great choice for music. Frank Black was my hero in college. One of my best memories ever is helping him carry in his equipment before one of his shows.

    Black Francis always gets a [this is good].

    This is reminiscent of the acoustic version of “Jumpin’ Beans” he did with the old REV 105 station in Minneapolis 16/17 years ago
