Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Let’s finish the job.

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

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

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

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Not all heroes wear capes.

After roe, women are no longer free.

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

While in Lamu, we of course booked a sunset sail on a dhow and sailed within a cluster of similar dhows from Lamu toward Manda Island, heading up a large channel lined with mangrove toward the sunset.  Folks in neighboring dhow were partying, jumping into the water, and singing.  We were the mellow dhow…

MANGROVES.

Mangroves lining a large tidal channel on Manda Island.  (I read on the Lamu Marine Conservation Trust website that there’s an active program to replant mangrove where they’ve been over-harvested.)

    Beautiful and serene.  I visited the neighboring Tanzania and Zanzibar.  Kenya is on my bucket list.

    Good to see people finally appreciating the importance of the mangrove.

    [I’m headed to Truckee in half an hour—wish me luck in beating the storm.]  I encourage anyone interested in a more complete view of Lamu to watch this vimeo.  (Carol, owner of the Peloni, was key to getting the conservation trust started.)   Gives you a flavor of the archipelago and the islanders’ unique traditions.  Magical.  Take a look »

    Calming and relaxing pictures, thank you. I did a little sailing when I was young and even decades later, there is something compelling about a sail taut in the wind.

    Thanks again.
