Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

No one could have predicted…

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

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

Let me file that under fuck it.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

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

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

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

Come on, man.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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!

 

Today, pictures from valued commenter realbtl. Not quite the mega post, but that’s Thursday!

My traveling partner and I are on a 16 Ireland trip, just got into Dublin last night (5-31). Today we walked around Trinity College and Temple Bar. We’ll be here until Tuesday when we embark on a 5 day IrishRail tour then another 5 days in Co Louth.

Trinity College.

We are staying in a 100+ year old “workman’s house” about 3/4 mi. from the college. A very convenient place From which to explore the city.

 

One of the fun things about walking around Dublin is all the odd and interesting things that pop into view.

Thank you so much realbtl, 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
