Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

I was promised a recession.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

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

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

T R E 4 5 O N

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

This blog will pay for itself.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

TWiB! + ABLC and Other News

by Imani Gandy (ABL)|  April 17, 201311:19 pm| 32 Comments

This post is in: Readership Capture

FacebookTweetEmail

Hello there! I have things to say:

My blog (Angry Black Lady Chronicles) merged with This Week in Blackness this past Monday (along with Jack & Jill Politics) and can now be found here. I’m Editor-at-Large, along with Baratunde Thurston and Cheryl Conti of JJP. Elon James White is Managing Director with Dacia Mitchell serving as Managing Editor. (More on that here and here.)

In addition, I’ll be the new host of TWiB in the Morning with L. Joy Williams, starting this coming Monday. So, if you enjoy black stuff, as I know you do, then come hang out at TWiBNation. Sign up for TWiBNet. Put some stank on it.

I don’t know how much I’ll be posting over here, frankly. It’s not that I don’t love you people (racistly), but I just don’t know how much time I’m going to have. I started my full-time position at RH Reality Check this past Monday (huzzah!) and I will be waking up at 5 am Monday -Thursday to host AMTWiB, at least until I come to my goddamn senses and move to the east coast. So, if you were wondering (as I’m so sure you were), that’s what’s going on with me.

What’s going on with you? Oh right, I don’t care.

I kid! Of course I care! Sort of.

But seriously — come hang out at TWiB sometime. It’s pretty fun over there. And listen to the many TWiB podcasts. There’s a whole lotta blackness going on, but I’m fairly certain you can handle it. I believe in you.

Oh, and I was interviewed by Jaclyn Friedman for the Fucking While Feminist podcast, if you care to take a listen. We talked about Kermit Gosnell, white babies, birth control, and sexual agency. Good times, all in all.

That’s all. Cheers, everyone.

-ABLxx

    The reply is left as an exercise for the student.

    But cool beans, ABL!

    I am glad you are happy doing what you are doing. You could always have your show three hours later, and that would save you having to move out there.

    Alas, such is the way of the internet and love.

    That’s all. Cheers, everyone.

    Good luck with the new gig!

    Grats ABL! But getting up at 5…yeesh. Though I have another reason to try to keep up with the TWiBcasts.

    Geez, 60-70 people dead. That’s insane.

    I listen to the TWIB. Elon’s hyperactive monologues are pretty damn funny

    @tc:

    That’s why McVeigh chose fertilizer for his truck bomb — it’s extremely dangerous if not handled exactly right.

    I think it was Martin in one of the threads below who asked which super-genius decided to build a nursing home next to the factory. What could go wrong?

    @tc: West is a small town about 20 miles north of Waco. What is it with Waco? Explosion sounds terrible–near a nursing home too. Awful.

    Thanks y’all, and Nate Dogg will start cropdusting at 4:30, so the smell should wake me up.

    Good on you! Good luck with the new job and TWIB endeavors. I’m going to try to keep following your work, wherever or whoever you write for.

    @Ms. D. Ranged in AZ (IrishGirl):

    Ms. D, I tried to talk my mom into taking your kitties with no luck. :-( There is a small local rescue group that may be able to help you find a spot for them if you ask:

    ABL, u rock. And what do you feed Nate Doggie, for Pete’s sake, that he wakes you up with his emissions?

    Nice! Good luck.

    Congrats on all your endeavors, ABL. But as someone who gets to work at 5:30 am, I say “join the club”. Hope we hear from you from time to time. At least, you can plan to attend the Democratic Convention with Cole again in 2016. That was fun.

  27. 27.

    I'mNotSureWhoIWantToBeYet

    April 18, 2013 at 8:33 am

    Congratulations ABL! Success to you, and Elon and crew, in all the new projects. Don’t be a stranger.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    Good for you, ABL! I pretty much only come to balloon-juice these days but I shall add your site to my daily checkin. We’ve never met but I sorta feel like I know you, and I always try to support the people I know in their endeavors.

    @Patricia Kayden: Hey, 5:30 is my start time too! This site has gotten me through many a morning…

    Ms. D. Ranged in AZ

    April 18, 2013 at 11:47 am

    @Mnemosyne: Thank you anyway. I will check out the rescue group. I am moving end of next month and that is my absolute deadline to find them a home. I break into tears every time I think about having to give them back to the Humane Society.

    @Ms. D. Ranged in AZ:

    I don’t know if you’ll see this, but another local place worth trying might be R.E.S.C.U.E. — they’re a no-kill shelter in Phoenix:
