Yesterday was Martin Luther King Day. To celebrate, actions and protests were planned all over the country. Hell, MTV even broadcast in black and white in an attempt to start a dialogue on race. Not to be forgotten, the GOP sent out this delightful photo of Reince Priebus, chairman of the GOP, standing in front of the King memorial.
Because, you know, when we think of the practices of the GOP, we think of the teachings of MLK.
Team Blackness also discussed the problematic thinking of NBC creating a new section just for black people, SNL’s gentrification sketch, and how to sue a tights company over your lack of orgasms.

Two same-threads. In case this one is the winner, copied from above thread:
It is not lost on me that the GOP picked a gray, rainy day for this photo op.
Or that Reincypoo is all casual with his hands in his pocket, bored face, like he’s waiting for his limo to get him outta there.
Or that he’s alone, as in, no one else from the GOP could be bothered to show up.
Or that the quote could easily be read by fellow wingers as “The time is always right to do right” … so why don’t those lazy *&^# do right?
What a multi-layered, frosted shit-cake.

so the double posting is back.
front pager, any ideas why?

Why the double posts?

Oh, come on. You guys know perfectly well, it’s not the Balloon Juice way to keep these things organised.

@Amir Khalid: I wish Elon would interact in comments. At least we could ask him how he manages to double post so often.

@Violet:
I’ve seen him address this question in the comments. I think he said it was a mystery to him too.

He probably uses the WP app on a phone, perhaps an older version. I didn’t use the phone app for ages because it sucked so badly (but as a home-based worker, I generally have other options, i.e., tablet or PC — EJW seems to get around much more than I do, so he probably relies on a phone more).
The most recent iteration of the mobile app is much better, so sometimes I use it. But it still sucks big green gators. You know how frustrating comments functions can be? Imagine how much more can go wrong in the back room! It’s really amazing there aren’t MORE posting fuck-ups.

I guess I’ve missed his comments. Maybe it has to do with the audio he links or something.

He’s probably double-clicking on the submit button.
