Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

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

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

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

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

We still have time to mess this up!

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

“They all knew.”

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

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.

    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…
