Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s a doggy dog world.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

Shut up, hissy kitty!

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

The lights are all blinking red.

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

This blog will pay for itself.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

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

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

People are weird.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Just a quick reminder — following up on yesterday’s post.  Harvard evolutionary biologist Katie Hinde and I will be talking on Virtually Speaking science about her work on lactation and the different strategies different species have evolved for nourishing sons and daughters; on the crap science journalism that follows in the wake of the study of anything that might allow tabloid headline writers to employ the words “breast” “mum” or “sex”; and, last but definitely not least, about a March bracket between — not groups of men and women named after animals — but the animals themselves,  an ecologically and physiologically correct NCAAs, if you will.

Coming up in just 15 minutes.

You can listen liv at 6 p.m ET or as a podcast later here. .

Live studio audience for the virtually minded folks at the  Exploratorium’s joint in Second Life.

Hope y’all come.
