Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

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

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

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

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

On The Road – ?BillinGlendaleCA – Sunset(and a few ringers)!

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, Everybody, I hope this finds us still all well as it’s just 21:25 right now as I prep this for Wednesday morning, so I have no idea of what’s happened since then. I hope nothing.

It’s never a bad idea to have a big bag of rice, one of beans/lentils, lots of appropriate spices and sugar, not to mention have some ways to collect, move, boil, filter, and store water. If things get bad, I fear losing the grid in places and figure having some non-spoiling basics like rice and beans is a good hedge for your family’s safety, no to mention the portability, health, and yum factors.

Now, let’s hope moderation and calm prevail, and let’s thank Bill for today’s timely submission. I mean it – thank you, this beauty and joy is so very needed.

 

Since my sunset picture from Leo Carrillo State Park was so well received, I thought I’d devote a whole submission to sunsets.  OK, two of the pictures are not sunsets, but sunrises(the ringers).  These were shot at the coast(Point Vicente and Leo Carrillo) as well as here in Glendale and at the Griffith Observatory.

Point Vincente, Los Angeles, CAJune 30, 2019

While it was overcast onshore, the sun was able to peek though the clouds to cast a glow over the Pacific in this shot from Point Vincente in Palos Verdes.

Scholl Canyon, Glendale, CADecember 20, 2019

The setting sun silhouettes the skyscrapers in West LA in this shot from Scholl Canyon in Glendale. Downtown Los Angeles is visible to the left and the Hollywood Hills and Griffith Park is to the right of the setting sun.

The light s of Downtown LA light up as the remaining light of the sun begins to fade in this shot from Scholl Canyon in Glendale.

Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles, CADecember 27, 2019

This is not a sunset, but a sunrise. The emerging light of the sun glows behind the still lit buildings of downtown LA in this shot from Griffith Observatory.

The sun rises just to the left of Saddleback in this shot from Griffith Observatory. The snow capped San Gabriels are still shadowed at the left in this shot from Griffith Observatory.

    It’s a pity you can’t shoot the sun rising over the Pacific from California. But the sunrise over the desert photos still look great.

    While they are all stunning, I think I prefer the ocean shots best. And now I’m feeling homesick!

    @Amir Khalid: Well, it’s not sunrise over the desert, the city pretty much goes all the way to the foot of the mountain(Saddleback) where the sun is rising.

    We just get sunsets over the Pacific as God intended. //

    @sab: Yes, but Amir was very specific about the Pacific.

    (Shameless Plug…)

    Just a reminder, before pic appear here prints are available for purchase at my store(clicking on my nym also works) and if you’d like to support my picture taking my Patreon is here.

    @Sherparick: Thanks.

    @rikyrah: There’s a park just east of downtown and for the next few days the sun will set right behind downtown when viewed from there, I’m going to try a shot from there, clouds permitting.

    Of you think they look gorgeous online you should see them when you buy one! Gorgeous as always, Bill. Now I want to get another one, but it’s so hard to pick just one!

    Weird, just tried to share to FB with the widget and it says page not found. Though it’s a funny message featuring Tunch’s picture, Lily and Thurston, so worth seeing for the lols.

    @RA: Glad my pics can help.  The morning I took the sunrise pics, a cold storm had just past through and dumped snow at low elevations and it was a cold walk up the hill to the observatory.

    @satby: Thanks, I’ve shot some good ones in the past month.

    Thank you, Bill. I never tire of the Palos Verde peninsula or any of your LA pics. Such a spectacular place.

    @Fair Economist: Thanks.

    @arrieve: Scholl Canyon is dump, really it’s a landfill.  The northern portion is no longer active and is not a golf course and the baseball fields where I took the pics.  I’d been originally(and still am) looking at the location star trails, but thought I’d check out the view up there.

    @WaterGirl: Thanks.

    @Elizabelle: I’ve got some more from Palos Verdes that I’ll put in a future post.

    Bill, your photography skill amazes me. Those photos are truly beautiful. And as Alain says, are a thing of joy! Thank you ?
