Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickel?”

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Bark louder, little dog.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

T R E 4 5 O N

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

When we show up, we win.

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

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

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

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.
