Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

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

Let me file that under fuck it.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

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

… gradually, and then suddenly.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Everybody saw this coming.

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

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

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Note from indefatiguable commentor Yutsano:

It turns out I’ll be in Seattle from January 10-12. Hoping a meet-up can happen while I’m there! I’m free the evening of the 10th and the 11th going back on the 12th in the afternoon.

Leave a comment, or if you want to get in touch directly, email me at annelaurie dot verizon dot com and I’ll forward your message.

    I’d be up for a meet-up; I’ll be in town.

    I mostly lurk but would be up for a meet up. I’m in North Seattle.

    We’ll be in town.

    Where are you these days? Try-cities area?

    Yes! Yes! Godz, yes! Either evening is fine; I’m off work by 5:30.

    Any preferences as to where? I’d prefer to avoid downtown if at all possible. Traffic is always a nightmare, even when you’re on a bus. (Plus, I’d have to slog across campus to the Stadium Station, as no buses go downtown from the U District anymore.)

    Stanfords, by Northgate Mall, is a little pricey but their food and drinks very good.

    The District, in the Decca Hotel in the U District, is a little on the smallish side, but also very good food and drink.

    Lots of places in Ballard: the Matador is one of my faves.

    I’d be up for it if schedule allows. Definitely want to meet some of these folks who make this site so wonderful. Anywhere works for me.

    Ballard or Stanfords would be great for me.

    @CaseyL: I’m good with anywhere. I’ll probably be staying downtown again just because convenience to both Pill Hill and getting out of town once I’m done.

    We should probably pick a spot first then a time. I’m okay with Stanford’s but isn’t there a Ram at Northgate too?

    I live in downtown Seattle. Pick yer spot!

    Also just fyi, this place is right next door to the Capitol Hill train stop, if that could work. It’s very good.

    @hitchhiker: That does look yummy, but getting to Cap Hill is barely less inconvenient than going downtown – at least, for me.

    @Yutsano: Yes, there is a Ram’s at Northgate. Also a good spot; if that’s your preference, we can make it so.

    Ooo, I’d be in! Great brewer at that Ram, so check out his in-house beers.

    I’d like to go. But I live way out on the coast and have school aged kids so I’m a maybe at the moment. Had lots of fun at the Phoenix meetup so I’ll do my best.

    I can probably make it.

    Mostly-lurker here: this sounds like a fabulous plan. Tuesday is a no go but Wednesday would work for me; North Seattle sounds best because I am a) in N Seattle and b) laaaaaazy. Haven’t been to the Ram for years but they have beer so what could go wrong?

    @Batten Down the Hatches: Wednesday is good as I have zero plans for that day as it is.

    @Bumper: Would 6:30ish work?

    @CaseyL: I MIGHT get Taylormattd to show up…but that will take some finessing on my part.

    Oooh, so tempting. Do I dare show my face?

    CaseyL

    December 29, 2016 at 12:03 am

    So… Wednesday, 6:30, at the Ram in Northgate?

  20. 20.

    Bumper

    December 29, 2016 at 12:38 am

    Husband says he will watch kiddos after school so 6:30 should work. Depending on the location you choose, I’m probably 2.5 hours away. But it’ll be worth the drive :-)

    @CaseyL: Seems like a working plan to me!

    PS: Want me to come rescue you from work?

    @Bumper: Oh frabjous! Hopefully you can take the Edmonds boat if that will save you time.

    Unless you’re talking Aberdeen/Hoquiam.

    Another lurker here. I live in the south end and am disabled. Not able to get to Northgate, but would love to meet y’all. Wishing you a copacetic meet-up!
