Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

LAO sent me some photos of beloved rescue Maggie (her original story is here) and I thought we could all use a nice reprieve from everything else.

You will see she has injured herself, though LAO assures me it is non-life threatening and:

I note for the record, Maggie is working her injured paw for all it’s worth. She’s enjoying the attention absolute strangers pay her on street.

As someone who is the guardian of two very large clowns and three smaller “we pretend to be aloof, but are really balls of purr and fluff” I can attest to the healing power of critters in the house.

Let’s all give a big aaaawwww to Maggie and her sore foot.

How is your day shaping up? Open thread

    Don’t know if you’ve heard of the Tennessee Mutt Puppies; you can read their story by enlarging the calendar at the start of the post. It’s a good story. https://www.facebook.com/groups/264095503992401/

    Good morning! I took a pretty picture from the trolley. https://imgur.com/a/0kK4K

    I got some good writing done on the train, and then I’ve got work’s creative writing club this lunch. What a writerly day…

    Oh my gosh, I am in love with Maggie! Just love her markings! That little dot on top of her head is just too much.

    She’s adorable, LAO. And all dogs are drama queens, in my experience.

    @LAO:
    She’s adorable. As an only child, she knows everything revolves around her.

    @Major Major Major Major:
    Beautiful Victorian, I love the color, and the details are gorgeous.

    I’m getting ready to spend a week or so visiting a friend in Oklahoma City. I won’t be able to follow politics as much, and that will be good for my feelz.

    I have a request.
    ACA repeal is very important but can we also have an FP about General Kelly’s plan to separate mothers from their children to deter border crossings? And also a discussion of his other grotesque initiatives.

    Thanks.

    @Miss Bianca: I love the last one — “I have been so cute for you and now I have a hurted paw and you want me to go out? I’m so comfy on this carpet and warm in my coat. And you want me to go out? I have done so much for you. I HAVE A HURT PAW!”

    @Miss Bianca: Her dog walker took that one (my pictures tend towards a John Cole level of awful). Last Sunday, it was so cold in NYC, she’d walk a few feet, then sit down and strike that pose till a stranger stopped to pet her. Happened about 14 times. By the third time, I was just rolling my eyes.

    @hovercraft: It’s a new paint/detail job. It was gray a year ago, but the sort of gray that probably has a fancier name.

    Looks like you were on one of the old orange Milanese trolleys? I remember riding on them in Milan molti anni fa. I love the way they look but they’re so noisy I can hear them from my office two blocks away.

    The new LGBTQ Center paint job is very … purple.
