Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

The lights are all blinking red.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

This fight is for everything.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

The National Guard is not Batman.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

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

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

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

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

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

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

Second rate reporter says what?

REPOST: Who’s Up for A Denver Meet-Up, This Wednesday Evening?

From to-be-visiting-fireman PsiFighter37‘s original post:

I should be free to meet anytime after 6PM, and based on Google Maps, I am told I am at the intersection of the Central Business District and North Capitol Hill section of Denver.

My only request – a spot with a good beer selection! A couple spots that look like that could work are the Thirsty Lion or Freshcraft – but I am happy to defer to the preferences of the locals.

Hopefully there’s enough interest – but I understand if folks are a bit more cautious nowadays.

From the comments last week, looks like Hedgehog the occasional commenter, BSR, Bokonon, and Scamp Dog are seriously interested.

Ksmiami, Nate Combs, quakerinabasement, and The pollyanna from hell are possibles.

I’m gonna ask PsiFigher37 if I can share his email with y’all, so you can coordinate with each other.

Leave a comment here if you’re game, or email me at the ‘Contact Us’ link and I’ll forward your message.

    I would if I could, but since I can’t, and if you can: DOO EET!!!

    Thank me later.

    Longing for the day when I will feel safe to do things like this. Have fun, jackals, and send pictures! Then I can at least pretend to attend, and I love see what folks on here look like; it’s never the way I imagine them.

    Also happy to throw out places like Wynkoop or Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (which looks really good and allegedly has outdoor seating too).

    My email is VRML99 at yahoo dot com, if anyone wants to email me directly.

    @PsiFighter37: my kid lives by whiskey tango- it’s good but how about Pig and the Snout? They have a larger patio

    @Ksmiami: I’m indifferent as long as there is space people are comfortable with! Having good cocktails/beers a plus but not absolutely necessary.

    @PsiFighter37: Any outdoor place is good with me! I’ll be there assuming my plane to Denver arrives reasonably close to on-time. I’ll be getting back from visiting Mom in northern Michigan (still in the lower peninsula, though).

    I can make that.  May I suggest Woods Boss brewing?  Excellent beer, lots of space, located conveniently near downtown, but with at least some street parking available.  (eh, outdoors is preferable)

    They don’t have outdoor space though, but I can suggest plenty others — my brother is this guy.  Pick any on the map and I’ll let you know.  I’ve visited most breweries in Denver and the Springs, though both WTF and Pig&Snout are new to me.  Good excuse to go check them out I guess :)

    Edit: Given that some of us — all vaxxed I would presume — may still be inclined to socially distance, I suppose I should look for one with good outdoor space.  You can also search the CBL site at that link, and add outdoor spaces to the search criteria (I developed some of the code for that site, tho I’ve been slacking for years on updating it)

    I can’t make it – was in Denver a week ago, but am now back in Chicago (my home). Have fun!

    Sounds good so far. We are clever and cautious; TFG cannot stop us.

    I’ll be there if the venue is decided.  6pm – WTF or somewhere else?

    I’m up for it. There’s places like Bierstadt nearby but I’m up for any place with a reasonable patio
