Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

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

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

White supremacy is terrorism.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

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

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

He really is that stupid.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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
