Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

… gradually, and then suddenly.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

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

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

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

The words do not have to be perfect.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

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

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

The National Guard is not Batman.

    I follow God on Twitter, he’s hilarious.

    BTW is it just me or is the site not remembering everyone’s info and you have to fill out Name, email, URL every time you leave the site and come back? Seems like this happened a few months ago, too.

    You can always step on your own posts, John. It’s other people’s posts you’re not supposed to step on.

    Sheesh, it’s like you don’t even know the arbitrary rules we’ve set up without your consent or somethin’.

    @Southern Beale: It’s not just you, but it’s been coming and going for me like that since the Friday night database mess. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

    I think God on Twitter is hilarious too.

    Edit: Forgot–How’s your hand doing? Better, I hope.

    Yeah the hand is all better now. Still a little itchy but doesn’t look freakishly large anymore. Thanks for asking!

    Show of hands from everyone who thinks “Steve” is one of the stupidest names they have ever heard for a cat.

    Steve is a perfectly fine name for a cat. My friends cat is named Steve, but he earned that name after getting injured and requiring expensive surgery to repair his hind legs. Full name: Steve Austin.

    Nah, brah. I am a firm believer that pets should be given human names, when they fit. Our last two cats were Ricky and Larry.

    Just got off work. Had to go in because the closer called off and nobody else could cover. At least I had something of a weekend.

    Now I’m here, I have shit to do but I just don’t want to do it because I’m so tired.

    Yeah, that’s about what I expected.

    Smite was probably the word She actually used.. But if She wants to publish a version that stiffed necked sinners who have turned away from the path of righteousness, that’s OK with me.

    If it will make poor souls like Cole pay attentions, that is OK.

    I am firmly of the opinion that kittehs don’t give a flying fuck what we name them. All they hear is HOW you say their ‘name’. If it is said with love and affection, it’s all cool, man.

    Boogity-boo! I actually had a cat named Boo, ’cause she was scared of everything at first. Later I could have named her Braveheart, because that’s what she became. Brave, fearless and free.

    That’s the first thing I’ve added to facebook in years that I’ve actually enjoyed, instead of being guilted into. That photo hooked me.
