Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The willow is too close to the house.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Second rate reporter says what?

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

This fight is for everything.

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

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

If you’re not in a food coma, here’s an open thread to get you through the night.

Valley Girl was on the other night and I had forgotten what a guilty pleasure that movie is for me. No idea why, it’s totally tripendicular, ya know?

Have at it…

    If I can put on my screenwriting hat for a minute, “Valley Girl” is a very well-structured classical romantic comedy. It adds on the 1980s trappings, but otherwise it would fit right into the golden age of the 1940s, structure-wise. That’s probably why it’s still satisfying to watch 30 years later.

    And, of course, the soundtrack is still awesome.

    The grandcat is visiting, which means a full night’s sleep is not allowed, as the dog must be taunted into waking.

    So I’m up watching Grosse Point Blank – another fun movie with a banging soundtrack.

    You might have seen VG on THiS TV, an antenna station that likes to end its movies 6-7 minutes short of the hour to stick more important asbestos lawsuit commercials in.

    @Mnemosyne: i’ve read a few interviews with the director and apparently the producers just wanted/expected an exploitation film and were quite shocked and happy when they realized they had an actual movie.

    And also in a bit part Michelle Meyrink who was in the same graduating class as me!
    She had a much bigger part in Real Genius another 1980’s gem.
