Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

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

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

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

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Happy dietary news, for once.

Front pagers- stop making new categories for every whim. Use tags to be clever. We now have fifty categories with two posts or less in them. Some of the categories don’t even begin to make sense. We have a category titled ‘eh.’ WTF does that mean? What the hell does “Balloon Jobs” mean? Why? Tire …

B-J favorite drug resveratrol (RV) keeps cranking out the hits: We report here that chronic treatment with RV in a subapoptotic concentration induces senescence-like growth arrest in tumor cells. In contrast to the widely accepted antioxidant property of RV, we demonstrate that one causative stimulus for senescence induction by chronic RV is an increased level …
