Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

So many bastards, so little time.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

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

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

He really is that stupid.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

The National Guard is not Batman.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

When I was faster i was always behind.

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

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

    @Amir Khalid: Here’s a pic of the Orion Nebula to keep you happy Amir. I was testing out my iPolar sighting camera for my sky tracker week before last and this in one of the test pics.

    I’m used to a more up-tempo version of “Oil In My Lamp” but found this quite pleasantly mellow.

    @arrieve:
    @J R in WV: Thanks.
    @opiejeanne: It’s in Orion. If you look at the 3 stars in Orion’s belt and look below you’ll see Orion’s sword. The nebula is in the sword and is visible(meaning you can notice the nebuluosity) to the naked eye even in light polluted skies on a clear moonless night.
