Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Fight them, without becoming them!

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

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

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

    Two minutes and change left in the game. This is even funnier than Cole putting up a thread halfway through the fourth quarter.

    Never heard national announcers more in the bag for one team than this crew is for the Cavs. Everything Cleveland has done is their brilliance; everything the Warriors do is the result of a Cleveland error. Not to mention that they completely blew the analysis in the first half; Golden State’s lethargy was the result of no movement without the ball and no ball movement, at least as much as Cleveland’s then-excellent defense.

    Terrific game, though.

    The Warriors tossed the spherical ball through the ring more times than the Cavaliers, allowing them to prevail.

    Someone forgot to remind the Cavs at halftime. They were turrible in the 4th quarter.

    I turned on the TV to a rugby game, and a basketball game broke out right in the midst of it from time to time.

    Woot! Spirited game. Riley’s this close to a presser with her pap! Golden State Warriors beating the Cav’s in the final minutes. 8
    Giants leading the Dodgers and Sharks readying for the next game. It’s a great time to be an old time Bay Area resident. All are decades in the making and satisfying after years of dashed hopes, injuries, team building…

    It resembled a game from the 90s for sure.

    Dubs pissed Bron off. His jumper is also trash.

    All BJ basketball posts should start when the game is almost over, at least if it is a Warriors game. That is obvious now.
    Whooooooooooooshhhhhh!

    I dislike the dubs but a Cavaliers embarrassment increases the flight risk for Durant to the eastern conference. So I’m a neutral observer I guess.
