Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

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

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Republicans in disarray!

The lights are all blinking red.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Consistently wrong since 2002

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

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

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

    @eric: Apparently “current tour” = The Blue Note, and no place else. Although I saw plenty of posters for his appearance in Kyiv when I was there in August – unfortunately he was appearing after I already left.

    Amazon prime members can download free an ebook “single” (it’s chapter length) from Jon Ronson called the Elephant in the Room about the Trump/Alex Jones/ Roger Stone connection. He knows Jones personally. It’s worth a read. If you’re not a prime member it’s only like $2.
    Apologies if it’s been posted before, just checking in occasionally these days.

    I’m going to put in another plug for my friend Catherine John’s new album Fandango Bragh. It’s a fusion of traditional Mexican and Irish music. I went to the album release party on Friday night, where eight of the thirteen musicians on the album performed. I don’t know how the physical CD will be distributed, they were available last night and at a few other events. The link above is to Bandcamp, where you can sample the tracks and download the whole album.

    I’ve been listening to The Staves and the Luke Cage soundtrack on Spotify.

    I am also plotting my novel for National Novel Writing Month, which is every November. My novel this year was inspired by Joss Whedon’s appearance on a local radio show, about how people are always asking him “write this story”. I realized if I had a story I wanted to read, I should write it my own damn self.

    So my novel is about a 50 year old perimenopausal woman who gets superpowers – she can read minds and shoot out her hot flashes as a weapon. It’s called The Hot Flash. Tonally, I’m expecting it to be Christopher Moore-ish – funny with some real tragedy and sadness. I’m more excited about this novel than any of my previous NaNoWriMo novels.

    @maurinsky: Cool. I’m still trying to figure the McGuffin for mine. I’m trying a YA novel this time. Tentatively, it’s about a group of teens who are occasionally capable of superpowers but they don’t know what the trigger is to get their superpowers to manifest, so they have a number of embarrassing failures and equally embarrassing successes before they get a handle on it.

    Super new band I’m crushing is Moon Hooch. Crazy improvisational jazz EMD goodness.
    2 saxophones and drums. Amazing circular breathing for sustained sound. Modifications on the saxamaphones to amplify the tones.

    If you have a chance, check em out.
    Also viewable on the npr tiny desk series.

    And for Olds who still punk it’s X’s 40th anniversary tour.

    Saw Lizzo at Bonnaroo, about 11 PM. Man, did I want to see more of that after it was over. Best set of that day, I thought. She commands the room.
