Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

The words do not have to be perfect.

In my day, never was longer.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

We still have time to mess this up!

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

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

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

They’re 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.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

It’s a new day. Light all those Biden polls of young people on fire and throw away the ashes.

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

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Small Site Edits Incoming

by Alain Chamot (1971-2020)|  November 4, 20169:35 am| 26 Comments

This post is in: Open Threads, Previous Site Maintenance

Folks,
Just a little warning. I’ll be working with Watergirl to adjust some things on the site, based on others’ feedback to her.

I don’t expect anything massive, but if things go wonky for a few, I hope you’ll understand!

Otherwise – open thread.

Note: I will not be monitoring this thread for your comments; once I’m done working with her, I’ve got other fish to fry, and will finish the list of issues she provides later, over the weekend, etc.

    These are the worst changes ever! They completely destroy my ability to enjoy the site! What were they, again?

    This is how Comrade Vlad started with the DNC servers. It’s a brand new day here.

    Is four days out from the election really the best time to do this? And yes, I am an asshole.

    @Alain the site fixer: leave my fonts alone!

    seriously, though, you guys use fonts? This is just Helvetica.

    @Bob the site tester:
    Are we also allowed to be naked now?
    I’m all for nude links.

    Are these links naked because they’re NSFW?

  15. 15.

    Ceci n'est pas mon nym

    November 4, 2016 at 10:55 am

    @hovercraft: Wait, were we supposed to be wearing pants on BJ all this time?

    There is a legend told that text was briefly green during one round of fixes. I think we need to go back to that. And threaded comments of course.

    @Bob the site tester: being able to post links would be good. being able to post links without going into moderation every time would be gooder. (i haven’t posted in a while, maybe that’s been addressed)

    The site will never be the same after this. I’m voting for Jill Stein, just to show you how mad I am. (Spoiler: completely mad.)

    And while we’re at it, maybe you could explain why this site’s ad algorithm thinks I’m in the market for industrial rock crushing equipment…
