Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Everybody saw this coming.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

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

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

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

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

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

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

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

Been too hard a week to exercise myself, so I’m gonna zone out watching these guys as a substitute.

    That is just a delightful dog video.   Thanks for sharing.

    Note that the orange prez (unlike other presidents) has no dog.

    Quick doggies having fun.  :-)

    Meanwhile…

    Blair and Major unite to excoriate ⁦@BorisJohnson⁩ for his intention to breach the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement. They say his claim to be honouring the Good Friday Agreement is precisely the opposite of what he is actually doing. pic.twitter.com/RDhTypkwE9

    Consistent meanings of words are for little people. Or something.

    :-/

    Cheers,

    @Raoul Paste:

    That’s as it should be. Trump is inferior to the typical dog in every way and would not be fit company for one.

    Hard to exercise when (1) the gym seems more like a covid-buffet and (2) the AQI has hit 460. Fuck the pandemic, fuck the fires. My place is too small for a piece of exercise equipment, so I’m also exercising vicariously with the doggie videos.

    @debbie: I think the EU has no remaining fucks to give. I don’t see this working for Johnson.

    One of the first comments on the excellent dog slalom video is also a winner.

    Has a little Rocky some Flashdance and a seriously cool ABA vibe.

    I’m sure that right now, even as we speak, someone is tweeting in rage that Rian Johnson has retroactively ruined J.J. Abrams’ earlier and far superior dog-agility-contest video.

    @Another Scott: Britain’s former US Ambassador said last week that Johnson is “fascinated” by Trump’s political techniques and is “intrigued by Trump’s limited vocabulary, the simplicity of the messaging, the disdain for political correctness, the sometimes incendiary imagery, and the at best intermittent relationship with facts and the truth”.

    I just watched Coastal Elites on HBO.  It was very good.  A TLDR summary:  Trump is vile and we must remain strong, brave, and keep our sense of humor.

    Good morning, jackals, jackalettes, and fellow citizens !

    Heard about English table-top boardgaming quarterly, The Spirit of Games and Gamers.  Issue #10 – and the earlier issues – available for PDF download for free at

    https://thespiritgamesmagazine.wordpress.com/

    If there be gamers in your pod, check it out.  Even if you play solo or online, some relevant stuf in last two issues.

    Apologies if I’m babbling.  Ate something that don’ agree with me, it’s holding protest marches around my guts after curfew …

    Hope y’all are staying healthy, happy and hydrated
