Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

T R E 4 5 O N

Second rate reporter says what?

After roe, women are no longer free.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

You cannot shame the shameless.

Consistently wrong since 2002

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

No one could have predicted…

    Money rolling in for a good cause while 4chan is going broke.

    Unrelated, I just saw that topologists have won the Nobel in physics. I was going to say they flew the flag for topology, but then I started wondering what shape it would be.

    Hurr, hurr, hurr, hurr…libs can’t take a joke…

    Parade organizers (Lions Club) actually approved this float.

    The Aurora Farmer’s Fair, which is put on by the Lions Club, is the biggest event of the year in the Ohio River town 35 miles west of Cincinnati. The parade went right down Second Street Saturday with nearly 200 bands, floats and groups.

    One float in particular caught the eye of some people who weren’t happy to see it. It depicted Clinton in an electric chair with Trump ready to pull the switch. The float also featured an Easter Island head painted black with a black face and a sign that identified it as President Obama.

    @Mike J: Not so much topologists as theoretical condensed-matter physicists applying topology.

    4chan going broke because of ad blockers. Ha ha.

    I guess I’m helping keep this place rolling since I endure the annoyance (and tab crashes) from Cole’s beloved video ads. Oh how I suffer for you fools.

    Beloved fools, of course.

    OK, some of the people on here are far, far from beloved. But I suppose every ecosystem needs some bottom-dwellers.

    The shape doesn’t matter, of course, only the number of holes and other topological invariants.

    This was my favorite part of that story: 4chan is running out of money—and Martin Shkreli wants to help out.

    Because of course he does.

    @RaflW: You could do what I do – run an ad blocker (uBlock Origin for me) and also contribute real money to the blog at least once a year. Maybe the ad rates are lower this way (fewer impressions), but I like to think that my contribution more than makes up for that.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    When the Act Blue Balloon Juice donation thing was first posted, I thought we would never get near 50K, but I somehow figured we would have lots of individuals donating. I am doubly surprised. I figured we would have more contributors but less total dollars. I know nothing!

    Have a monthly donation to Hilz and am donating from my hospital bed. Also giving to ActBlue, especially to unseat my rep Mike Coffman (R – CO-Right-Wing-Tool-Who-Wants-to-Take-Away-My-Health-Insurance-Plus-How-Do-These-People-Live-With-Themselves.)

    I’m even filling out Internet surveys. I’m bored, folks.

    Let’s make President Clinton happen!!!
