Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Everybody saw this coming.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

Giving up is unforgivable.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

Come on, man.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

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

Let me file that under fuck it.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Boghan and His Kittens

Apparently, what my brother’s dog really needed and wanted all his life was kittens:

According to Seth, the black kittie with the white spot on her/his chest and the one with white feet have already secured their forever homes. I will have a video up in a little bit but apparently it is processing forever.

    I can not wait for the new site. I can not get the front page to show this post, I have to click on the tweet feed and then it still won’t show this post when I click on the BJ logo, it goes back to Adam’s post.

    New Site! New Site! New Site!

    @Ruckus: Hit ‘Refresh’ anywhere between 2 and 20 times; that (usually) does the trick for me.

    Step 2 is to sacrifice a chicken to the server gods.

    Cutest thing seen today :)

    Looking at that picture, what amazes me is how many fosterings aren’t “fails” (meaning the foster parent winds up keeping their foster babies). It would be very hard for me to take the kittens away from Boghan. That’s how I would rationalize it: “They’re bonded now, sorry. Gotta keep ’em.”

    I don’t think the costume designers at DWTS like Melissa McCarthy at all. The lime green top is really quite atrocious. You would think a top movie star would get better treatment at some fading teevee show.

    OMG OMG OMG death by cuteness.

    @Ruckus: Or go to Cole’s Twitter feed and click on the new post link. You may not be able to get comments on first try, and if you use the back tab to the previous comment that will work but there won’t bea forward tab got go back to the newer post, but you should be able to see the front page. Eventually it’ll show up on the front page of the new post… sigh, yeah how happy I’ll be too when we get the new version.

    @Adam L Silverman:

    I figure the thread below is cold, and would like to ask you a question (OT for this thread, I know) about the oil field strike: I do not understand why satellite/air surveillance/space station observations are not mentioned in this discussion. Do I misunderstand the surveillance operations in this part of the world?

    A hard refresh and chicken sacrifice.
    Could I just hit a chicken with a baseball bat and be done with both?

    @Ruckus: Do the arrows on the left and right of the post show up for you? The ones that take you to the next or previous post? If so, you can always click on the top post on the front page, then go to the next post–the one that won’t yet show up on the front page–via the arrows. That’s how I do it when the new post doesn’t show up on the front page. Sometimes it’s half an hour before a new post actually appears there.

    @Yarrow:
    Did you guys notice that I’m typing on the post that didn’t show up on the home page? Complaining about the post that I was writing on.
    The major point isn’t that I can’t get to new posts, it’s that the freaking main page doesn’t refresh about 90% of the time. And I’m ready, far freaking more than ready for the new site. No HTML editing in the comment box not withstanding a minimum of reasonable working is all I’m asking for, actually not having to sacrifice chickens or buy a baseball bat….

    If the video is just one-quarter as cute as those pics, YouTube may crash.

    Hope Boghan gets to keep at least one. Though two would be better.

    Okay, but now your brother needs more kittens. Because clearly Bogham needs them, and it would be cruel and unfair to deprive him.

    Yay, Boghan, what a good dog! I fantasize about the possibiity that what my over-sensitive, over-imaginative, over-smart rescue puggle (mostly beagle to look at) needs is a kitten or two. He adores our adult male cat, but evinces his love by squooshing Jingle to the floor and getting him wet with drool. I wouldn’t put a kitten through that, but of course the universal don’t-hurt-the-baby protocol might kick in, and the kitteh(s) might end up rulling the roost.
