Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Bark louder, little dog.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

How stupid are these people?

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

When I was faster i was always behind.

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

He really is that stupid.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

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

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Old-Fashioned Music Thread

Feeling kind of down and discouraged today, wondering if there was a way to break out of it.  I thought of this song – I love the harmony and it makes me happy.  h/t to Omnes for linking to this song a million years ago.

How is everybody else doing?

Old-fashioned music thread, open for business.

Update:  “Old-fashioned music thread” was intended to be a reference to the music threads we always had at night.  It was not a request to only share “old-fashioned” music.  I guess there’s a reason that this is one of my favorite quotes:

“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” ~George Bernard Shaw

    Matthew Sweet on the guitar and vocals. They did three cover compilations together (all pretty darned good) and were also the Austin Powers band. Just read that Mike Nesmith offered to have the song be performed on The Monkees but the producers turned him down. Their loss, the Stone Poneys gain, I guess.

    ‘Moral responsibility’: South Korea is airlifting hundreds of Afghans out of Kabul
    BY DAVID CHOI AND YOO KYONG CHANG, STARS AND STRIPES , AUGUST 25, 2021

    ‘ [Second Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs] Choi cited the country’s “moral responsibility” to house the Afghans given the “serious situations” many of them are under. He added that the evacuees will be entering the country not as refugees, “but people who have done distinguished service to South Korea.” ‘

    Two records to check out, if you like the sort of music it is.

    1. Will Johnson and Justin Peter Kinkel-Schuster have a band together they call Marie/Lepanto. Johnson is most well-known for his band Centro-Matic, and solo stuff, and JPKS fronted Water Liars.

    The new Marie/Lepanto record is called “Gulf Collide” and is only on Bandcamp.

    It’s terrific. Jangly and edgy and smart.

    2. The other is JPKS’s solo record “Constant Stranger.” I’m floored at how good this is. Sort of a cross between Dylan and Tom Petty, but really neither.

    Just a damn good record.

    Was made aware via AV Club review of a band called Deafheaven, they’ve been around for a while and straddle shoegaze and death metal. Their new album, Infinite Granite, is more shoegazy and I’m loving it, but also digging their earlier albums which are much heavier on doom metal vocals.

    I think if I didn’t, it would nag at me and would bother me, and I do think we can model behavior for our kids.

    Non confrontational note, you can explain to the kids that you never want to make assumptions, so you want to ask… there can be a perfectly innocent explanation sometimes, even for things that look pretty bad on the face of it, etc.

    @WaterGirl: I was pregnant in 1980 (with the daughter I posted above) and I heard that song on the radio driving to work nearly every day. It always made me smile.

    Something a little different from a band I saw long ago in Dayton. They didn’t have a drummer, but had a little drum machine.

    I’m pleasantly surprised that I found this on YouTube! I had their cassette and wore it out.

    The new James McMurtry album just might be the best of his long and distinguished career.

    @Suzanne: both great artists!  I had heard and known about JR for several years, but really didn’t get into his stuff until I saw him open for Jason Isbell a couple of years ago at our local small theater.

    She does a lot of gothic rock, but she also has some folk numbers that are stunning:
