Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

We’re not going back!

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

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

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

    I love the 2nd shot; it reminds me of the table-top soothsayer machine in ‘the other’ William Shatner Twilight Zone episode, “Nick of Time”.

    Great pictures! Mainers have (and need) some seriously steep roofs! What’s the first picture? It looks like it might be an inn or restaurant of some sort.

    @Torrey: That building isn’t an inn or anything, just a 3-unit dwelling.

    And yes about the roofs. You’ve got to let that snow slide off or get in trouble. Sometimes you get in trouble anyhow….. It’s not uncommon in an especially snowy winter to see people up on the roof, shoveling.

    We spent a couple of weeks in Maine years ago, first week at Poland Mining Camp, where a small group of old gemstone miners take visiting rockhounds and PhD students around to old gemstone mines in the woods of Maine, where Tourmaline, Topaz, Aquamarine and more exotic crystalline minerals have been mined for over a century now. We were allowed to visit various quarries, each with their own rules.

    Some places we were only allowed to dig in the dumps for lost or overlooked crystals, other places we could break hard bedrock to search for a pocket full of crystals. Then we had to leave the mining camp as a bunch from the Smithsonian was coming in for a 2 week symposium on the types of mineral deposits common in Maine (ETA: pegmatites), so we drove up the coast clear into Canada where we visited the Roosevelt summer home.

    Maine is a bigger state then it looks on a map!

    Your excellent photos bring back some great memories of that trip!

    @JR in WV: Thanks! — And yes, Maine is bigger than you might expect for a New England state. :-)

    I’ve been to the Roosevelt home twice and found it very moving.
