Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

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

You cannot shame the shameless.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

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

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

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

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

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

    Gene Hackman double bill: The French Connection and The Poseidon Adventure.

    Neverwinter is a fairly decent free to play MMO run by one of the most inept companies around.

    Holy crap. If you didn’t catch it, check out the opening number to Sunday night’s Tony Awards with Neil Patrick Harris. (Watch it full screen, as they pulled out all the stops for stagecraft.)

    Absolutely now firmly ensconced in the top 5 opening production numbers ever done for the Tonys.

    There was a piece in the NYT on Sunday with the breakdown of Repub vs. Dem senators on Sunday shows. Granted Media Matter has been telling us this a long time but it’s still pretty amazing to see actual numbers on this.
    http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/06/08/us/politics/The-Perennial-Senate-Guests-and-the-No-Shows.html?ref=politics&_r=0&pagewanted=all
    I am assuming the shows would say you would have to take into consideration the number of Obama admin officials showing up but my guess is that the numbers weren’t off that much during the Bush admin either.

    I can’t sleep. Had a nightmare that vines were coming through the walls of the room. They were going to smother me and I couldn’t kill them fast enough.

    Unless you love struggle, for Bob’s sake don’t plant Hedera Helix. And unless you really hate yourself don’t plant it next to a cactus that you like. That was my afternoon and my hands are paying for it.

    As recommended by someone here I’ve just started reading Flann O’Brien’s At Swim Two Birds.

    I like the writing and I’ll stay with it, but I’m on the fence so far because I’m allergic to Meta in literature. Books about writers, films about films and rock and roll about, well, you get the idea, violate my general principle that art should be something other than itself. Self reference kinda spoils the whole thing for me.
    But I’ll keep reading.

    @Ultraviolet Thunder:

    Eh, it’s funny. That saves it from being pretentious.

    If you want a backup that is hilariously funny and definitely not meta: Kingsley Amis, Lucky Jim.

    @Splitting Image: The Poseidon Adventure is on my list of all time awful movies. The plot, acting and character development were so ham handed that I was rooting for injuries and death for all involved.

    And regarding that ending: When you cut a hole through the hull into an air pocket at the bottom of the ship, the air rushes out of the hole and the ship goes down in a flash. It doesn’t just sit there as if it was upside down in a parking lot. I wanted to throw stuff at the screen when I saw that movie in the theater.

    I hate that damn song. I’m a longtime Cave fan, but I’m sick of that whole “I loved her so much I had to kill her” schtick. It’s bullshit. If you actually love somebody you don’t bash her head in with a fucking rock.
