Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

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

Let there be snark.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

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

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Come on, man.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

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

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

    Here in Ann Arbor, MI, it hit 60F yesterday. Today we are in the middle of a winter storm which is dropping snow at at the rate of 2″/hour. Forecast calls for 5″-9″ total. Crazy.

    @oatler.: Having lived in PA all my life, I didn’t realize how rare cardinals were in other parts of the country until I read your and other comments to that effect. Cardinals are always present here in south-central PA — heard or seen, usually both — and I’m very glad they are. The bird-feeder trifecta, as far as I’m concerned, is to see a cardinal, a bluebird, and one or more goldfinches at the feeder at the same time.

    Help from the experts. When I was switching from regular ATT to Uverse (long story) somehow they created a Facebook account for me. Every time I try to delete it, it says it doesn’t recognize my passwords. I finally got some answers. In order to delete the account I have to send them a copy of my passport page OR my driver’s license (with the “sensitive parts” blocked) and then they will do it.

    WTF do I do now? I don’t know that I want my passport or in fact any sort of important ID floating about!

    Also a rare chance to sample some prime cuts of Josephine Baker. Monday at 2:45 a.m., The French Way and at 4:15 a.m., Zou Zou.

    My yard is a bird diner, and the birds are my floor show. I zone out watching them the same way people do staring at aquariums. Recently the cheap birdseed I usually buy them was out of stock, so I bought a small bag of a bird caviar instead, leastwise to judge by its price. To my astonishment, within an hour of tossing that seed around my yard, a group of wild pheasant- I think that’s what they are anyway- made an appearance out of nowhere, for the first time in months, to chow down on the stuff. The other birds in the neighborhood obviously loved eating it more than the regular seed, too. Which means that birds apparently can and do differentiate the quality of the seed they’re eating. And how did those wild pheasant (or whatever kind of bird they are) know I had spread the good stuff around as quickly as they did? And they did know it, too, because they appeared again the next time I spread that seed around. Whatever they are, the plump little bastards are lucky I’m not a hunter..

    @Sab: I wonder if he was someone’s exotic pet who got away.

    Years ago, while walking in a Cincinnati neighborhood, I saw a bright blue parakeet hanging out with a flock of sparrows resting on a porch roof. It was fall and I couldn’t help but be sad that he probably wasn’t going to survive the cold weather.

    It was in the days before cellphones, nowadays that is something I’d photograph. It seemed to be a metaphor for something.

    We have feral parrots here in Southern California. No one is entirely sure where they came from, but the most common story is that they were set free when a pet store caught on fire in the 1940s and there’s been a good-sized colony of them ever since.

    The parakeet might have done okay — if the sparrows were letting him/her hang out with them, they probably helped protect it and showed it how to get by in the cold.

You do get about 5-7 days to decide if it will work for you or not before you commit to the full implantation, which is nice. Make sure she goes for high frequency tho. It’s much more comfortable and doesn’t have the buzz of low-frequency.

    We’re on the road with our Annie cat. I think Mnemosyne has an Annie also. Today has seen the damnedest weather, from Yreka to our current location in I-5 north of Buttonwillow. Drove through rain and sleet and hail and a pretty bad snowstorm between Weed and Redding but it was also very beautiful. After that there were periodic deluges that nearly blinded us.
    There were several really ugly accidents on the icy roads and in the rainstorms, a couple we just missed being part of by maybe ten minutes.
    Stopping at 6 at the junction with Stockdale Highway where there’s a hotel that accepts cats and dogs. We’ll be glad to get off the freeway.

    I figured out how to sideload .mobi files (i.e. Kindle book files) from eBooksDirect onto my iPhone so they’re readable in the Kindle App and also got them to show up on my macOS Sierra laptop version of the App as well.

    Short version how I ended up with them? They were an impulse gift because the author was having a sale. Then I had to help with tech support to get them onto the giftee someone’s Kindle, & then I got curious.

    @Ohio Mom: there are now feral parakeets in Chicago on the South Side. They’ve been there years.
    EDIt: Scott beat me.

    @Gin & Tonic: Not really. Except that the air fryer doesn’t take up as much space or use as much electricity.

    I like mine since I can cook up frozen stuff like fish with the same amount of cooking time but none of the pre-heating time of my conventional oven. Since there’s just two of us to feed, I usually prefer using the air fryer if I can do so.
