Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

T R E 4 5 O N

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

When we show up, we win.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

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

Books are my comfort food!

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

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

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

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

All hail the time of the bunny!

On the Road and In Your Backyard

by Alain Chamot (1971-2020)|  June 15, 20185:00 am| 11 Comments

This post is in: On The Road, Open Threads, Readership Capture

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.

 

Hope folks enjoy the games today, I will unfortunately be driving, riding, and walking a lot to deal with numerous vehicle issues tomorrow and will only be able to listen (ty SiriusXM radio)

I have a great set for Monday from realbtl and you’ll just want to pick up and fly to Ireland Tuesday!

 

On that note, have a great weekend and enjoy the peace, simplicity, and gentle majesty of today’s offering. Somewhere….

Today, pictures from valued commenter Poptartacus.

Taken in March in San Francisco Bay

Half a rainbows better then none

The other half

 

Thank you so much Poptartacus, 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

    @Sab:
