Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

White supremacy is terrorism.

After roe, women are no longer free.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

I was promised a recession.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

    Reposting from below which is probably now a dead thread.

     

    Great news from me. After all the upheaval after Mum’s death we have moved house. We are now in a delightful fully refurbished rental, 2 bed bungalow in Morecambe which after the four story Georgian terrace is a blessing. No stairs!The kitchen is HUGE and beautiful and I can’t wait to start cooking and baking in it. My family have been absolute troopers getting Mum’s house cleared and us moved. They have gone above and beyond to get us settled and nothing is too much trouble for them. Husband is working every day as a TA for Autistic children. Only downside is that the school is 22 miles away which means a two hour round trip for me in the morning dropping him off and then the same in the afternoon picking him up. (These are small country roads not motorways you understand). It should get easier once Mum’s estate is settled and he can buy a moped and commute himself (and I won’t have to get up at 6am.) Still things are getting better every day.

    I watched the entire news report and didn’t see the tornado.  I was expecting to see the funnel cloud looming in the distance through that big window.

    Woe is me! Alack and a lack-a-day! Liverpool could only draw 1-1 with visitors Napoli, and must now get at least one point in their last Champions League group at Red Bull Salzburg to go on to theknockout stage.

    I went back to bed to ice the knee and keep it elevated this afternoon, and the power was twitchy and blinky for quite a while. We could hear the wind up on the ridgetops, and I’m sure it was limbs hitting the lines causing the grid to be, hm, unreliable. But it never went off, the generator never came on.

     

    And since we woke up this morning the well pump has been online steadily, so hurray. Having a Gin & Tonic before dinner. Not doing anything fancy for the Thanksgiving except being thankful for good friends, for being warm and well fed, puppies and kitties, etc. And you all.

     

    And Cole: Why ISN’T Guliana in jail !???!??

    @J R in WV: Um, where is the pump? Might be a good idea to trip the breaker while someone investigates, no?
