Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

“Alexa, change the president.”

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

When I was faster i was always behind.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

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

How stupid are these people?

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

This blog will pay for itself.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Wedding Zoom Link 5pm Eastern – Sent To All Who RSVP’d

by WaterGirl|  September 24, 20254:54 pm| 38 Comments

This post is in: Cole's Wedding, Open Threads

FacebookTweetEmail

I just sent 121 email messages with the zoom link to the 121 BJ peeps who RSVP’d by email.

Thanks for all the nice notes, for all the fun or clever subject lines, and for most everyone following the rules and letting me know your nyms.  Gotta keep out the riff raff, you know!

Anyway, give it a few minutes, and if you haven’t received your zoom link from me, send me an email message – and indicate in the title that that you didn’t get the link.

That will differentiate the “no link” messages from the people who I know are going to send their RSVPs after seeing this message. :-)

Just one more day!

Confirmation:  5pm Eastern time

      If you are really polite and are tempted to reply with a “thank you” email message, maybe skip that this one time?

      I’ll know you are all appreciating the links without sending me email. :-)

      That took 847 clicks, and my fingers are tired!

      I am thankfully done with Jury Duty so I will be able to use the zoom link.

      Only 121, y’all are slackers. I was hoping we’d break the internet with these nuptials. But I suppose keeping Watergirl functional and not having to spring for a finger brace for her is important, too.

      Otherwise, gotta work on my fascinator.

      Arrh damnit, forgot to send you a request Watergirl. But that is some good work you’ve done for Cole. And given how crazy my work situation has been lately (blargh), something would probably have come up to prevent making good use of it. But still, big congratulations to Cole and Joelle from a 20-year mostly-lurker and good luck.

      My own wedding was stressful enough (my mother wanted MANY, MANY THINGS, but did not want to pay for them.  I had to say no quite often), so I’m not watching another.  But best wishes to the groom and bride. Best wishes to all the pets. I hope all attending have fun, all watching have fun, and sympathies to Water Girl’s fingers.  P.S. — After a decade or so, my mother said to me, ‘Yours was the best wedding I ever attended.’  Gee, thanks, Mom.

      I’m up in Sequoia/Kings Canyon this week and reception is iffy, so I won’t be able to join the Zoom and see Cole in his formal overalls. Though I might be able to drop in the wedding thread.

      But in case that doesn’t work out either, let me offer Cole and Joelle my congratulations in advance. 💒💍🎉🥂🫶

      Congratulations to the half-happy, half-cranky couple (you know which half is which).  My job is 75% Zoom and 25% Teams, so I won’t ever use either in my spare time.  Enjoy.
