Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Be a wild strawberry.

So many bastards, so little time.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

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

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

When we show up, we win.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

On the Road and In Your Backyard

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!

 

For the rest of the year, I’ll be cleaning up old pictures. Feel free to use the form to submit more, but like so much I’m dealing with right now, I feel honor-bound to clean up the old archives and get ready for new content. I didn’t realize I’d missed so much good stuff from mid summer and beyond!

 

 

This is from ancient, email submission from PsiFighter37 that I missed long ago. Sorry about that, but I’m glad I have some “seed in store”!

Where it was taken: Seiser Alm (Alpe di Siusi)
When: 8/15/2017
Commenter screenname: PsiFighter37

Other notes or info about the picture: captured on the way to hiking to the white peak barely jutting out from the top of the ridge. A gorgeous day here in the Dolomites (Italian Alps)

Looks like heaven to this mountain lover of Swiss descent!

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