Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

In my day, never was longer.

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

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Peak wingnut was a lie.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

No Justins, No Peace

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

This post is in: Open Threads, Pet Calendar

We’re still shooting for 2022 Balloon Juice Pet Calendars to be available for order on December 1.

But we need your help to make our deadline!

Open Thread, 60 Minutes, I Will Vote Concert

We have 350 pet pics for the calendar, so there are two BJ Pet Calendars again this year.  We are calling them Calendar A and Calendar B.

If you submitted photos of more than one pet, all of your pets have been placed in either Calendar A or Calendar B.

Please check the Pet Calendar links in the sidebar.

This is your chance to make sure we get it right.

If your pet is no longer with us, you can have a heart next to their name, if you like.

Please check for:

  • Are all of your pets listed with your nym?
  • Is the spelling of your pet’s name correct?
  • Are ALL of your pets listed with the same calendar?  (look for either A or B)
  • Is the word “heart” there if you should have a heart for your pet?  And empty if it should be empty?

The pages in the sidebar aren’t posts, so you can’t comment there.

?  If anything is incorrect for your pets, or if you have questions, please comment in this thread to let me know about it.

?  Even if you find your nym in Calendar A, please check Calendar B to verify that one of your pets didn’t accidentally land in the other calendar.

?  I am pretty sure I left out some hearts, so please check the heart column carefully!

?  We have multiple Nancy’s who submitted without a name or a nym, or maybe nancy was the nym.  Anyway, I don’t know how many of these are from the same “Nancy”.  If you guys can clarify, that would be helpful.  I am pretty sure that Daffodil and Holly’s Nancy is different from the others.  I think the O’Driscol Nancy is different from the others, too.  But I don’t know about the owners of Katie and PJ.

    If (as in my and King Henry’s case) everything looks right, there is nothing we need do, right?

    He’s gonna be pissed to be on the B List.  Might not tell him.

    @Ksmiami:  Well, technically you can… the sidebar stuff shows up at the bottom on phones, after all the comments.

    So I copied the links into this comment, and it’s probably a good idea to add the links in these verification posts anyway!

    But I never received a photo from you after you let me know you wanted to submit one.  So send me an email message with your pet photo, and we will sneak it in.

    @hueyplong: But you are in the JeffreyW calendar, which is a great honor!

    A and B calendars are not like the A and B teams in co-rec volleyball!

    First the pics are sorted by themes – pets with red often go into December, etc.

    The split between Calendar A and Calendar B is pretty much a numbers game.  There are 12 or so people who submit 5 or more pets.

    Cole went into Calendar A with his 8, so Jeffrey went into Calendar B with his 8.  And so it goes with all the ones who have 5 or more pets.

    After that, we mostly split alphabetically so we make sure we have close to the same number for Calendar A and Calendar B for a given month.

    After that, it’s all about the design of what goes where for a particular month in a particular calendar – that’s where the *artistry happens!

    *But it’s still a numbers game to some extent… low res photos can’t be as big in the calendar as higher res photos.  A low res photo would look pixelated in the calendar if it got more real estate in the calendar.  It’s heartbreaking when we have an adorable photo that’s low res so it has to be really tiny.

    P.S. And you thought this process was really simple!  :-)

    Hi – I had submitted pics of Angus, Barbara, Betty, Crackle, Gibson, and Hallie, but I can’t find my nym or their pics.  I also had to let poor little Crackle go last Tuesday, after a sudden liver illness. The vet tried everything he knew, but she kept going downhill until there was no way she was coming back. She was terribly jaundiced and miserable and getting worse. I was hoping to add a heart to her photo if it’s not too much trouble.

    I’m so sorry if I’ve missed your emails regarding a problem with my pictures. Thank you for doing all of this.

    November 28, 2021 at 9:45 am

    @Sis: I am sorry to hear about Crackle, and of course I have added a heart.

    Are you looking under your nym or your name?  (should be nym because we don’t post people’s names)

    This is you direct from the spreadsheet.  Can you check the lists in the sidebar again?  Because your nym starts with ‘S’ you would be looking at the 2nd or 4th link in the list.

    @WaterGirl: That is pretty complicated.  Very glad not to have had to design or execute that plan.  You are going to some serious trouble for the irrational pet lovers who make up nearly the entire population of this nearly top 10k site.

    @hueyplong: I don’t know how Beth used to do it all on her own!  It’s way too big a job for one person.

    I try to do the communicating and the collecting and organizing and I do the spreadsheet so Beth can mostly just do the design stuff, because what Beth does is irreplaceable and we don’t want to wear her down!

    Beth sorts the photos into months and does the calendar design.  If someone sends multiples of the same pet, we choose which one goes in the calendar together, and we pick the covers together.

    The most fun for me is seeing all the pet photos and going through them together!

    @realbtl:  Are your initials B.S. ?

    If so, the photo came in without a nym.

    Is this Jada?

    @realbtl: yay!  It is now correct in the official spreadsheet and in the sidebar.

    Though in the sidebar it was a manual change so you won’t find it alphabetically with your nym.  Look in the early part of the list.

    November 28, 2021 at 4:01 pm

    Um, where to start?

    My name is Nancy, I used to post a bit as Daffodil’s Mom and all pets under that name (Daffodil, Holly, Rudy, Katie, Cooper, Fawn, Mac, PJ and O’Driscoll) (among others) belong(ed) to me and my husband, who sent them in to you bc I am computer-impaired.     Daffodil, Holly, Rudy and Mac have crossed the Rainbow Bridge but the others are still hale and hearty.   My husband ([email protected]) is not the most organized of folks so you may not have gotten all of them — I have no idea!   But they have all been wonderful, and beautiful, and God Bless you for doing this!     Nancy

    @Daffodil’s Mom: I’m on the phone so I can’t reply to most of this at the moment.  But the apostrophe in your nym means you will have to have every comment manually approved.

    It’s a quirk of WordPress.

    Watergirl has done so much work on this. Luddites like me didn’t even know how to send our photos, and she coached us every step of the way. Then coached us on alternatives when it turned out we couldn’t send photos from our waterwheels. Technology moves ahead and not all of us do.
