Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Let there be snark.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

The willow is too close to the house.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

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

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

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Palate Cleanser: Something Good!

There’s been a lot of darkness today, and this week, so how about a palate cleanser before bed?  Or for the wee hours of the night for the folks who are having trouble sleeping.

Something funny, something happy, something good.

I’ll start with my two favorite tweets from the past few weeks, almost certainly from Anne Laurie.

I needed to get the SS Disability one completed and submitted to the state so I could start collecting my state disability. I’m almost done with all this stuff, which is a good thing.

    I had a pet hamster from ages 8 to about 10/11. He died around that birthday.

    They are very cute, but after awhile all he did was climb on top of his water bottle and try to gnaw his way through the mesh screen on his cage. He succeeded a couple of times. When we were moving from Ann Arbor to Houston, we were staying with my aunt after our stuff got packed, and before our flight.

     

    He got out one night, and got stuck in the sump pump. I was very distraught, but my mom fished him out.

    @Leto: I know every state does disability different, but after I filed for SSDI I got a form back with 10 pages of “additional” essay questions back, all of which were covered in my first filing, and a ridiculous deadline of three whole days to complete and return it all. I copy/pasted the exact same words in different paragraph order and sent it in. I was approved in three months without having to get a lawyer or appeal, which almost never happens. That was in the GWB administration, though, which seems kind and competent compared to the current dumpster fire. Good luck! Keep fighting!

    Our garage freezer stopped working, but we were able to get a repair person out pretty quickly, and it turns out that the inside light circuit shorted and kept telling the thermostat that the door was ajar. So we just needed that simple fix and we don’t need a new freezer! Yay! Plus, our next door neighbor made some room in her freezer for our expensive meat, so nice neighbor stuff happened, too. I made her some roasted butternut squash bread while I was waiting for the repair person to tell me what was going on.

    2 yrs ago we bought some land on Whidbey Island, inside the town of Langley. Langley is a village of maybe 1200 people, including many, many artists and writers and old hippies.  From its website:

    In the 1960s and 1970s, Langley attracted its share of “hippies,” some of whom had an uneasy relationship with the more established citizens. Eventually many of these counter-cultural folks became assimilated into the community, leavening Langley with their artistic skills and progressive ideas, helping to create today’s cultural balance that makes Langley such an attractive place to live, work, and visit.

    On Friday, at long last, we’re going to do the final walk through with the main contractor who built our little house. It’s a trip to realize that this is probably going to be my last move to my last address — or at least that’s the plan. The house is designed to be accessible and very low maintenance; it has no stairs at all, and the master bath has a giant roll in shower. All the doors are extra wide. There’s a front porch, and the back yard opens to a path through a protected wetland/woods.

    I’m so, so happy. Here are some photos from Whidbey/Langley.

    Last week I priced renting a small RV, one that we could throw the cats into and just go somewhere.

    Anywhere.

    Kind of pricey to rent though, and to fill with gas, and the garden would go to hell so it won’t happen before we’re finished with it. .

    @Yutsano:  That’s probably mostly good news, yes?  Shows progress!

    @laura: Sounds like you had a good run at work!  But you deserved more than 4 days notice, that part is really disappointing!

    Hoping that this will turn out to be one of those unwelcome changes where you look back and can see that it was a good thing, even if not of your choosing.  Crossing my fingers!

    A couple good things here:

    1.) Pasadena voted to form a Citizen’s Oversight Committee for the police on Monday. I have been working on this for 3 years, the recent fight has been on-going for about 7 years and this fight really began in the 1970’s. It’s just a first step, still needs a lot of work and could go sideways, but still it’s definitely a cause for celebration. Especially since various groups worked together and stood firm on our demands in a way that we really haven’t seen before.

    2.) In an hour or so, we are off to El Capitan State Beach to begin celebrating our 8th Wedding Anniversary, and first real vacation/breather since Covid.
