Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

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

No one could have predicted…

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Republicans do not pay their debts.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

This fight is for everything.

Infrastructure week. at last.

Small Site Edits Incoming

This post is in: Open Threads, 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…
