Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

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

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

He really is that stupid.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

manhattan missing cat 28 jul 13

From commentor Faisal:

My friend’s cat, Steve*, went missing this afternoon in Alphabet City in Manhattan. She is as distraught as one might expect. If you’re looking for an excuse to start another open thread, or are just feeling generous towards strangers, could you post something about the enclosed?

* Really

ETA: See Comment #13.

    I believe Johannes and La Caterina are still doing their stray kitteh work in Nyc. Maybe they can keep an eyeball out/spread the word.

    @SectionH: For me, if I click on the image it opens as a full link to the jpg. So if that’s what you want, you can try that. If I right click on it, I get lots of options, including copy image, save image as, copy image location, and so forth. Hope that helps.

    Right-click on the image, then select “Save image as . . .” to save it to your computer. Then you can put that on Facebook or wherever you want.

    I just heard from my friend that someone called, and the cat is now home and being delivered unto a bath. I don’t know if that call was from one of ours, but even if not, thank you to everyone who helped get the word out. I believe this can now revert to an open thread, discussion of the appropriate Burkean response to vagrant cats, or Anne Laurie can delete the post, or what have you.

    No wonder it got lost! It rides on the top of SUVs, apparently. Your friend the driver likely went Spanish Train around an S-curve and exceeded Steve’s paws’ coefficient of static friction.

    Great couple of weeks for cats named Steve! Maybe shelters should just give all of their felines this moniker.

    Such stunning eyes — natural eyeliner. Wow.

    I’m glad to hear the cat has been found.

    Thanks to all. This is Steve’s owner — he is indeed home safe and sound and very filthy. I really appreciate everyone’s compliments, support and reposts. Steve seems very pleased with himself and his outdoor accomplishments because he is a jackass. Thank you again, for real. Those of you that like his eyeliner can follow his instagram hashtag at #thedailysteve. He is vain.

    @Steeplejack:

    Thanks. I feel like an idjit, but until a couple of days ago, I was working on a srsly old machine. (Bought it in 2005…) So I have something new and shiny but there are a few wtf’s going on.

    Anyway, posted on Fb.

    And OMG, NY Steve’s home now? Yes!!

    (Also too, I’ve had panic attacks about more than one of my kittens…)

    I used to have a calico with eyeliner like that. She was named Priscilla, after Priscilla like Elvis liked her.

    I have a sense of Déjà vu here, lost cat, and the 2 posts above, like this has happened before. I had to check the date to make sure my browser wasn’t doing the time warp.
