Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

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

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

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

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

A consequence of cucumbers

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

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

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Reader photos – November 22, 2016

by Tim F|  November 22, 201611:00 am| 16 Comments

This post is in: Photo Blogging

On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.

From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.

Submit Your Photos

Here are some more great photos taken by readers of the blog. This one took a while because my blogging time is really curtailed right now, but I hope to do two or three of these a week. I thought this time we would go with a couple of critters. Photographers, feel welcome to talk about gear or technique in the comments.

Hoary Marmot

If you want to participate, email me a link to a couple of your favorite pics on a photo site like Flickr (do not send the image itself please) and I will put them up in open threads. Send a short caption if you want and let me know how you want to be identified. If your computer cannot read our email links at top right, my email is (remove the zeroes): portus0jackson0ii at yahoo dot com. There was a good discussion about sharing photos anonymously in our last photo thread.

***Update***

Looks like I got today’s date wrong. That’s what I get for writing this at 6 am to steal some time before the 3 year old wakes up. If this keeps up I might have to reactivate the old coffee habit…

    Both photos are amazing. Was the marmot in the wild?

    @bemused: it almost looks like a painting and would make a gorgeous stained glass window.

    Oh, these are wonderful! The frog is amazing – is that “as taken” or did Auntie do any adjusting?

    I was wondering what the diff is between a marmot and a groundhog, so I looked it up – turns out “marmot” is the name for a lot of ground squirrels (genus Marmota), and includes groundhogs.

    @Gindy51: It would make a great fused glass piece, too – and I’m always on the hunt for images to work with.

    Tim, can we contact the photographers to ask permission to use their images? I may seriously want to try putting that frog in fused glass.
