Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

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

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

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

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

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

We still have time to mess this up!

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

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

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Sorry, guys – I kept thinking someone would come along to post something, but no one did. Then I was going to post something since no one else did, but then it looked like someone was working on something in the backroom that would surely be more interesting than this. But fuck it, nothing has been posted in way too long, so here’s another open thread. Frolic in its fields until someone stomps it flat — soon, I hope!

    Obligatory blog pimping:
    My post about the Indian government’s ban on the documentary, India’s daughter, by the British filmmaker about the Delhi rape case that rocked the nation in late 2012.

    Lame blog of the day award: 56th Open Thread of the day when Hillary is talking, Joe Biden is righteously smacking down the quislings in the senate, and probably there is something blowing up somewhere. But, by all means, let’s talk about cats or something.

    It’s usually a bad sign when you’re writing some software and the most useful comment you can leave in the code is “here be dragons”.

    (fairly low-level hardware driver doing direct memory read/writes to attached instrument. If you write to the wrong memory address, Bad Things can happen)

    For the record, I would love to see you on the front page. If & when you’re ready, of course!

    @dmsilev:

    Yeah, “here be dragons” is often an appropriate comment when you’re doing that. Dragons usually lurk on the lower levels of the software stack.

    Elephants. That’s what I always say my cat sounds like when he starts running around. It’s amazing how noisy cats can be, given their reputation for stealth.

    @Amir Khalid: And you are still in danger.

    Big foot is OK. Would be improved with #CHICKENS. Or #Boxers. Even #47Boxers. As long as they are not shitwad traitors.

    @Roger Moore: I love when a cat is ungraceful. When they realize you’re laughing at them it is … just kind of sad.

    @Robert Sneddon: Let me quote from the manual of the hardware in question:

    CAUTION: Do not write to a dictionary variable without fully understanding the effects. Do not explore unlisted hashes. Damage to equipment or injury or death to personnel may result.

    (It’s a compressor, runs about 11 kW of input power, designed to compress helium to about 250 psi. It’s used as the main driver of a pulse-tube cryocooler)

    @Pogonip: I understood that gibberish. I wonder if that means I should seek professional help…
