Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Fight them, without becoming them!

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

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

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

We will not go back.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

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

Let me file that under fuck it.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

How stupid are these people?

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Open Thread: Some Good News

I’ve been super busy with a little (ha!) home remodeling and fighting what may or may not be the flu, which is running rampant through my county.  Today seems to be the best day I’ve had in a week, so fingers crossed I’m heading back to what constitutes normal around here.

Thought I would give everyone a chance to cease doom-scrolling for a bit and share some good news.

(I DVR CBS Sunday Morning and generally fast-forward to the fun stories and ignore most of the rest. This morning Jeff Bridges was definitely worth watching – the segment is on youtube here).

As always, Steve Hartman brings the good news:

And here is a young girl who has  “making the world a better place” on her to-do list.

There probably will not be a kindness post this week unless things go more smoothly than I’m anticipating. And when does that ever happen? But keep sending the acts of kindness to me, could use many more.

And give yourself a mental health break today – spend some time outside, with friends – remind yourself of the good things.

This is an open thread….
