Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

Fuck that bum, let’s go Joe!

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

The frogs are rarely mistaken.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

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

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

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

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

We’re not going back!

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

    Here’s a fascinating update to an old tale that we discussed as part of the Josephine Tay reading group: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/premium/article/princes-in-the-tower-cold-case-king-richard

    In the summer of 1483, Edward V and his younger brother Richard entered the Tower of London and were never seen again. Their disappearance has long been laid at the feet of their uncle, Richard III, who has been accused for centuries of murdering them without any evidence. Author and history detective Philippa Langley, discoverer of Richard’s burial site, has taken on the case to find out what really happened to the Princes in the Tower and how to investigate a centuries-old murder. In this exclusive book excerpt, Langley takes readers through the investigation and turns up a new solution to an old mystery.

    I haven’t bought or read it yet, but still…

    Since this is an open thread, I would like to ask if there is a way to re-read all the posts about Game of Thrones?  I just started watching it and I’d be interested in what was said here as it was running

    @leeleeFL: Not exactly, since we don’t have a tag for Game of Thrones.

    But if you type “game of thrones” in the search box (located directly under Balloon Man in the header) it will bring up 150+ Balloon Juice posts where “game of thrones” was in the title or in the text of the post itself.

    There are 23 pages (7 posts to a page) so if you wanted to check them out in order, you would click on page 23, and read the posts from the bottom up.  Then go to page 22, and read the posts from the bottom up.  And so on.

    @Timill: hey, hi! Did you get the BlueSky code? I sent it to you but then that email bounced back. Possibly @WaterGirl:  might be willing to re-forward it to you at your regular posting address if you didn’t get it?

    Anyway let me know here. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
