Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Shocking, but not surprising

All this crying. this is why i don’t click on stuff.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

The willow is too close to the house.

Something seems odd about that, but i have been drinking.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

There’s some extremely good trouble headed their way.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

I’m only here for the duck photos.

Just a few bad apples.

This really is a full service blog.

This is a big f—–g deal.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

The revolution will be supervised.

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

We can agree to disagree, but i’m right.

This post is in: 

On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions. From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.

This series was created by Alain Chamot (1971-2020).

Submit Your Photos

Here are some more great photos taken by readers of the blog. This one took a while because my blogging time is really curtailed right now, but I hope to do two or three of these a week. I thought this time we would go with a couple of critters. Photographers, feel welcome to talk about gear or technique in the comments.

If you want to participate, email me a link to a couple of your favorite pics on a photo site like Flickr (do not send the image itself please) and I will put them up in open threads. Send a short caption if you want and let me know how you want to be identified. If your computer cannot read our email links at top right, my email is (remove the zeroes): portus0jackson0ii at yahoo dot com. There was a good discussion about sharing photos anonymously in our last photo thread.

***Update***

Looks like I got today’s date wrong. That’s what I get for writing this at 6 am to steal some time before the 3 year old wakes up. If this keeps up I might have to reactivate the old coffee habit…

    Oh, these are wonderful! The frog is amazing – is that “as taken” or did Auntie do any adjusting?

    I was wondering what the diff is between a marmot and a groundhog, so I looked it up – turns out “marmot” is the name for a lot of ground squirrels (genus Marmota), and includes groundhogs.

    @Gindy51: It would make a great fused glass piece, too – and I’m always on the hunt for images to work with.

    Tim, can we contact the photographers to ask permission to use their images? I may seriously want to try putting that frog in fused glass.
