Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

People are weird.

It’s a doggy dog world.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When we show up, we win.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

White supremacy is terrorism.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Good Morning All,

On The Road and In Your Backyard is a weekday feature spotlighting reader submissions. From the exotic to the familiar, please share your part of the world, whether you’re traveling or just in your locality. Share some photos and a narrative, let us see through your pictures and words. We’re so lucky each and every day to see and appreciate the world around us!

Submissions from commenters are welcome at tools.balloon-juice.com

Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures!

 

Today, pictures from valued commenter Sister Golden Bear.

Many visitors just stop at Korčula town itself, but since I had a car, I took a day to explore the island with many delightful off-the-beaten path places. (At least to foreign tourists, there were Croatian vacation homes everywhere along the water.)

The waters around the island were amazingly clear.

There were many coves and small bays lined with vacation homes and small boats.

Back in Korčula town at the end of the day.

Yes, it was as tranquil as it looks.

 

Thank you so much Sister Golden Bear, 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.

 

Once again, to submit pictures: Use the Form

 

With the upcoming site redesign, there will be many changes and so email submissions are over for now. Once it happens – in weeks, I imagine, there will be a slight interruption while we sort things out. So if you’re sitting on some pictures, now’s the time to submit them, using the form.

    I have been to other coastal places in Croatia but not Korcula (alas!) and the clarity of the Adriatic water everywhere I went is just enchanting. You captured it really well in these pictures.

    When I see pictures of water, I just want to sit on the edge of the shore. Beautiful pics.

    So my news of the wierd

    So I was GMing this on line role playing game, reasonably large, 900 members. It starts eating up my life, the owner starts acting weird and undermining me, I am stressing, I quit, a week and half I quit, the whole thing dies.

    So big deal, thus is nerdome on the interubes. Well….

    People started talking to me – the weirdness that angered me to the point I rage quit was the owner has a gambling habit, is now dead broke to cover the money shortfall was running an extortion racket and trying to hide it from me, The owner was getting the IP address of the players and threatening to doxx them to their families or work what they were doing on line (needless to say there was a lot of adults being adults, and no, I wasn’t GMing that, as hilariously awesome as that sounds, calculate to hit ACO indeed) This was all behind my back, so lovely.

    And all I wanted was a role playing game.
