Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

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

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

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

This really is a full service blog.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No one could have predicted…

Acts of Kindness: Clearing Out The Archives

Time for some more kindness.

I’ve been going through the backlog y’all have sent me and using up some of the older ones that have languished. I realized we may get some repeats because (please don’t remind John) we don’t have archives I can check and I may end up repeating a few. I delete them from my folder as I go, but I missed a few older ones and I can’t remember if I set them aside for “later” or posted and didn’t delete.  So I decided I’ll err on the side of “they didn’t get posted.”

Here you go.

From debbie – great girl dad:

From albatrossity…wait for it:

Both Adam and Steeplejack sent me this not long after Gottfried died:

The entire story can be read here.

Bex sent in this sweet pup. Having had a 3-legged Great Dane, I can attest, it does not stop them:

From SiubhanDuinne (who sent me a bunch that I’m still dishing out slowly):

Steeplejack again:

====================================

And finally, I ran across this one this week:

 

That’s it for this edition. I’m sorry I don’t have any cute critter pix for you. With Nora still in confinement and Nick completely distressed by it, which is distressing Trixie who doesn’t know how to help, I’ve got my hands full. Keep a good thought, if she lays a hard-shelled egg soon, I think we’ll be through the worst of it and she’ll be able to be outside again.

Until next time…

    I’ll note that historically, a high percentage of gay couples who adopted kids ended up with the children no one else wanted to adopt. For exactly the reasons described by the Italian gay man.

    A Regency rom-com I’m super excited about opens this weekend. I’m treating a friend to the movie — not only has she done all of my beta reading, but she’s been trapped at home with her elderly father-in-law and hasn’t been able to get out to a movie with another person since 2019.

    @TaMara:

    I said it at the very end of an almost-dead thread, but our mutual friend Jen (the editor) says hi.

    I did some book coaching with her earlier this year, and we’re on FB together a lot.

    A true story.

    Stepsister, who is chockablock with stress — husband suffering through ALS, recent retirement, placing their
    three story NYC townhouse on the market in order to search for, find and plan to move to an apartment in an elevator building due to hubby’s condition, etc. (won’t belabor the point with a full list) realized they had over decades accumulated way too many books to transport when they finally relocate to new digs.

    She somehow found the time and energy to set up a book sales table in the neighborhood post-Dobbs and managed to rake in a goodly penny by advertising that all proceeds would be donated to Planned Parenthood, which they were.

    @Leslie:

    @zhena gogolia:

    Technically, it pre-dates “Bridgerton” since they did a short proof of concept version with a diverse cast to raise funding before that show aired, but I’m sure they were able to secure the final funding because “Bridgerton” was a hit.
