Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Let’s finish the job.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

“woke” is the new caravan.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

I was promised a recession.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Everybody saw this coming.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Infrastructure week. at last.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

I just played with some of the cache settings – those of you having problems, if you see this post, I might have fixed it.

Rest of you, open thread.

    The Twitter hashtag to follow today is #INeedMasculismBecause

    https://twitter.com/search?q=%23INeedMasculismBecause

    I don’t know if it started out as serious or as snark, but the tweets are about 50/50.

    Cleared my cache, now my nym/email autofill is back. Or maybe it’s what you did, mistermix.

    It’s a mystery. I don’t understand and I want to continue. That’s my new motto.

    Seems a bit better, but I had to reload the main page a couple of times before this post would show up (as opposed to seeing the ‘next post’ link one thread down.

    Cleared my cache AND all my site cookies on Firefox, tried the main page and it seems fine now. (Clearing cache did not work before, nay-sayers. This FF install has been stuck on Marley since yesterday.)

    Yay! [/kermitdancing]

    Thank you, mistermix, but can we please have another thread soon to test that it really works?

    Still fucked up on firefox. I can usually access all threads using the reader, but it does not refresh comments up to date. And the recent comments is fully fubar. All of which is acceptable as I don’t have much desire to blog anyways right now.

    Since Brennan doesn’t know if the President can bomb citizens within the country or not, we should nominate a wingnut blogger to be an imminent threat and hope for the best. CS and eemom can be the human shields.

    Also, too – for weeks I have had NO header at all, which actually doesn’t bother me since I don’t like the ‘new’ logo and since I know where the fuck I am, anyway.

    I don’t know what/why it happened (I use NoScript but I always have so wtf) but it’s a little odd.

    Bring back the little old guy with the striped pants and great coat and the bullhorn and the cane and the floating away balloon! I’ve only said it a thousand times, why do you keep ignoring me?!

    No problems using Dolphin on my Android, no issues since since yesterday on the stock cm10 browser.

    My FF at work, which is up to date with yesterdays update is still stuck on Annie’s post and can only see anything later after clearing cache.

    Those of you on FF in Windows: what worked for me was clearing the cache, then deleting all balloon-juice.com cookies (Tools | Options | Privacy | remove individual cookies).

    Clearing the cache alone didn’t do it. The cookies needed to be tossed. Your credenza will be blank after the cookie toss, but when you rebuild it, it should stick around.

    @bemused: Magic eight ball says “No doubt about it”.

    @Maude: I don’t know what browser you use, but on Firefox you can install an add-on called NoSquint that lets you adjust the size of the font and the background color for any site.

    It has saved my old eyes many a time. Especially on those weird sites that want to use a chocolate or pink background with lime-green letters.

    Also, Theme Font and Size Changer is invaluable – of course, you have to be using FF. Which I love because of how you can adjust it to your own needs.

    No, I don’t work for Firefox.

    (Ok, the autofill fields just frickin’ disappeared on me again, wtf?)
