Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

So many bastards, so little time.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

The words do not have to be perfect.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

It’s a doggy dog world.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

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

On the Road and In Your Backyard

This post is in: , ,

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

Good Morning All,

This weekday feature is for Juicers who are are on the road, traveling, or just want to share a little bit of their world via stories and pictures. So many of us rise each morning, eager for something beautiful, inspiring, amazing, subtle, of note, and our community delivers – a view into their world, whether they’re far away or close to home – pictures with a story, with context, with meaning, sometimes just beauty. By concentrating travel updates and tips here, it’s easier for all of us to keep up or find them later.

So please, speak up and share some of your adventures and travel news here, and submit your pictures using our speedy, secure form. You can submit up to 7 pictures at a time, with an overall description and one for each picture.

You can, of course, send an email with pictures if the form gives you trouble, or if you are trying to submit something special, like a zipped archive or a movie. If your pictures are already hosted online, then please email the links with your descriptions.

For each picture, it’s best to provide your commenter screenname, description, where it was taken, and date. It’s tough to keep everyone’s email address and screenname straight, so don’t assume that I remember it “from last time”. More and more, the first photo before the fold will be from a commenter, so making it easy to locate the screenname when I’ve found a compelling photo is crucial.

Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures!

 

Inspiration today – Hawaii!

Today, pictures from valued commenter Joey Maloney.

I’m visiting family on the Big Island of Hawaii. I was in downtown Hilo this morning for the farmer’s market and I took a few shots.

There’s a gazebo on the Hilo bayfront where some area homeless hang out by day. The trees in the background are the ancient City of Refuge, a small island in Hilo Bay.

A panoramic shot of Hilo Bay. It was kind of a grey day but if you download and view the pic at full size there’s lots of interesting detail

Hilo’s gone on a street art binge since I was last here a year ago. Wacky murals like this are everywhere in the downtown. See if you can spot the Dukakis/Bentsen bumpersticker.

 

Thank you so much Joey Maloney, do send us more when you can.

 

Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.

 

One again, to submit pictures: Use the Form or Send an Email

    Hilo no ka oi! (roughly = “Hilo’s the best!”) I lived on Lanikaula St. for about 5 years, and up the coast in Papaikou for a year before that back around the turn of the century, and I dearly miss the friends I made there. I arrived soon after the removal of sugar price supports and subsequent collapse of the sugar industry, which devastated the local economy — it reminded me so much of the collapse of steel where I grew up that I used to call it “Wheeling-by-the-Sea.” Unlike Kona on the west side of the island, the east side coast from Ka’u to Waipio Valley is mostly rocky & rainy, without the classic sun/sand/surf that most people think of when they hear “Hawaii.” Hilo and the eastside have been fighting back ever since Big Sugar left, and the recent infusion of street art is part of that effort. Be sure to check out Suisan Fishmarket for some *real* poke, and stop for a burger & a beer at Cronies’ on the corner of Waianuenue & Kamehameha Ave. while you’re there!

    Love the big island, go there every year around February 1. Which is why I am currently in a hospital bed with a less than 24 hour old new right hip.
