Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

The revolution will be supervised.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

I really should read my own blog.

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

We still have time to mess this up!

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

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

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

After roe, women are no longer free.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Melissa Harris-Perry, Baratunde, and more!

On today’s show, we bring you some of the greatest moments of #TWiBRadio including the conversation about the Psychology Today article on black female attractiveness, Baratunde’s take on the racist legacy in Donald Trump’s ‘birther’-ism, and Melissa Harris-Perry’s genius about the abortion debate.

And this morning on #amTWiB, L.Joy and company discuss a possible ‘cure’ for meth addiction, French government plans to pay full costs of abortion and contraception, and Rand Paul is in charge of GOP outreach?

    Okay, I’m about 14 minutes in and paused, so I beg your pardon if you get into what I am thinking in the next 2 minutes of the podcast. I will forget if I don’t put it down now, and am interested to see if you went the same way down their fallacy fail.

    This thing about the testosterone affecting attractiveness isn’t logical. By that metric black men would be counted as the most desirable (because their testosterone enhances their man-ness), but I never hear them claim that end of it. It’s white men who reign supreme.

    Now I am thinking that this notion of too much testosterone in black women is supposed to be a pseudo-scientific-thropology notion of why black women are uppity or something.

    I appreciate the efforts by the president to lobby the senate for gun control. My last mass murder haunts me to this day.

    Oregon May Be 1st with Automatic Voter Registration

    You know, I can nearly buy a car that I can verbally tell a destination AND IT WILL FUCKING DRIVE ME THERE AUTOMATICALLY, but automatically registering residents to vote is considered to be some kind of sorcery.

    A meteor isn’t good enough for us.

    I had to read the post title twice to understand that nobody was interviewing Thurston Moore.

    On the Psychology Today, they absolutely did this knowingly. PT and this racist, misogynistic psychologist pulled the exact same shit two years ago. In fact, everything this guy has written is both racist and misogynistic, and Psychology Today has been his constant enabler.

    I actually tried to edit my comment above, but it apparently didn’t take. My apologies, I just started listening without reading, and didn’t notice that it was a ‘greatest moments’ retrospective. That said, this faux scientist, Satoshi Kanazawa, has built his entire career on similarly baseless racist and misogynistic provocations.
