Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

He really is that stupid.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

No one could have predicted…

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

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

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

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

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Should’ve posted this earlier, but I only just ran across it. Due to broadcast at 8pm EDT; follow the link for full details on streaming & etc.

(P.S. I’ve got a post scheduled for tomorrow afternoon with some detail about why farms are being hit so hard right now.)

    Good on Willie. I’ll be busy crying while listening to a local NPR station’s tribute to John Prine.

    @debbie:  I sure hope Willie and company do a tribute to John Prine. Will tune in to find out.

    I’m glad to see that accomplished jazz fusion keyboardist David Matthews is finally getting some recognition.

    @debbie: Sirius/XM has been airing a tribute since late yesterday afternoon that will continue through this evening, and it will repeat through Sunday/Monday.

    It’s lovely. Hour-long shows with him that aired when various of his records were released, lots of his music sung by him and by cover artists, songs by writers that were inspired by his work, and reminiscences from a lot of music makers famous and obscure.

    A lot of their stuff is currently available if you have a satellite receiver even if you do not have an account, and it can also be streamed (although since I have an account I have no idea how one would do that).

    @CarolPW:

    Unfortunately, I don’t. I don’t even have PBS at the moment, since their antenna upgrade went less smoothly than expected.

    Jezz, Willie and Neil on the same stage! ?

    another fund-raiser: Phoebe Waller-Bridge has put a recording of the stage version of Fleabag on Amazon Prime to raise money for health and arts charities. I haven’t watched it yet, but I’m gonna

    @janesays:

    Yes, thank you! If you select all music, then country, and then go to Outlaw Country you can hear the Prine tribute. Also the Farm Aid broadcast is in the list too!

    Thanks for this. We don’t get the AXS-TV channel, but I’m listening to it on Sirius-XM on our stereo and casting the web page to our TV. The audio is not synced well, as you’d expect, but it’s interesting seeing Dave’s living room/studio.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    In addition to John Prine, we should not forget the recent deaths of 2 other great musicians:

    Ellis Marsalis https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2020/04/02/remembering-ellis-marsalis

    and Bucky Pizzarelli https://www.sfgate.com/news/medical/article/Jazz-guitarist-Bucky-Pizzarelli-dies-from-15175853.php
