Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

We still have time to mess this up!

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

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Books are my comfort food!

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

I’m onto my third gimlet, and I’m wingnutted out, so I bring you this – a wonderfully disconcerting little film by Charles De Meyer called Esther’s, which I was introduced to on Boing Boing and which has a very fine dubstep trip-hop soundtrack by Amon Tobin.

and this – a lovely remix of Florence and the Machine’s Spectrum by Calvin Harris

ETA: From the lovely Valvida, a song that:

Makes me jump up and down in dancy happiness. Even when I am not + anything.

EOATA: jl points to the surfeit of BJ talent in Cole’s Madonna thread from last night and amongst our various bloggy commenters.

    The sound on my ‘puter is out and I haven’t had time to fix it, and I’m not much into driking. Hard likker except gin makes me feel sick after small amounts. And can’t take much more even with gin.

    So, everyone have fun tonight.

    One thing I will mention though. I did some clicking on commenters’ names that have links. After the SCOTUS decision yesterday, I was giddy and felt like checking out the winners.

    All of a sudden I started getting ads for criminal record searches with pics of gnarly looking people. Coincidence, or not?

    Will check back for any confessions.

    I recommend going to ‘You Just keep on Pushing My Love Over the Borderline’ by one John G. Cole from last night and check out LT’s Aussie political snark blog. It is funny.

    Valdivia has awesome pics of buildings.

    Llbrtdiffrnt (sp?) I thought was a snarky young Brit dude, but she describes herself as a doty old English Woman, and has a beautiful garden blog.

    I thought Roger Moore was an old fogey but I think he is a young fogey with nice travel pics of The Nature.

    David Koch appears sometimes to be a private personage and other times the actual Koch corporation. A mole in our midst? I dunno.

    I did not understand one thing about Geoduck’s blog, It was all, totally totally over my head.

    I fear SPaT, who I believe has special powers of some sort, but I recommend her blog.

    Everything I saw looked better than my sucky blog and pics I had a few years ago, which is why I have no link on my name either.

    I will not mention the computer nerd blogs. I fear cleek also. Does he live in that spooky old house? Or not?

    Hey Cole! Hey! We gots talent here. Otta have another arts and crafts fair, and maybe computer widgets from the talented BJ crew.

    I was concerned when the music thread took a detour through liquor-land (not necessarily a bad place, I’ll be visiting frequently in the coming week of vacation). So I wanted to toss out a couple videos of the bands I’ll be seeing on the 4th at Summerfest.

    @Wag: I am a terrible David Byrne fan because I never saw True Stories. Based on that clip, I must rectify this.

    And to make things come full circle: this. And yes, that’s where they got their name.

    My first wife walked down the aisle to Dream Operator played by a string quartet, done in a Kronos Quartet style.

    And speaking of Kronos, they’re in True Stories as well, playing Dinner Music for David and Spaulding Grey

    @Omnes Omnibus: They both put on great shows.Plus the last time I saw a show at the venue around the 4th, it was accompanied by the Milwaukee city fireworks (Rush Time Machine tour in that case), so it’ll be a nice addition. With the added bonus of many scantily clad ladies wandering around in the summer heat, a good evening is anticipated.

    Sorry Mary, you’re a few years too late.

    And yeah, Spaulding’s end was sad in its predictability. I don’t think he did a single monologue without bringing up the possibility of suicide. Your song reminds me of his eternal quest for “the perfect moment.” A Quixotic quest, like listening for the stillness of a cone of silence in the somniferous ether.

    Since about 1990, Pat Metheny has done his best work in other people’s bands. The chemistry between him and Michael Brecker was really extraordinary.

    This clip is from the 1997 tour in support of Brecker’s “Tales from the Hudson” record. The rhythm section is to die for: Joey Calderazzo, Dave Holland, and Jack DeJohnette.

    Amon Tobin’s music is tough to classify. If I had to attach a label to this track, I’d say it’s experimental drum n’ bass. Certainly NOT dubstep, though.

    I am always late to these threads due to life, the universe, and everything – but I always make a point to listen to all the music links……how would I ever have learned about AVUNTO via currants? And though I’m not much of a fan of Spanish language pop music (or English language pop music, for that matter ) , Valdivia totally redeemed herself with the Lagrimas Negras clip. Gracias, mi amiga ;)

    This was the very first music video I ever bought (yes, it was VCR format) – ok, I bought Dances With Wolves (NOT a music video, but a VCR format) before that, but only because McDonald’s was selling it for $4.99 or something.

    But Stop Making Sense remains one of the best music video/movies ever. Thanks for the chance to see it again.
