Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

They are all Michael Cohen now.

Han shot first.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

The math demands it!

We have all the best words.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Yes we did.

Good luck with your asparagus.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

I personally stopped the public option…

Verified, but limited!

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

This fight is for everything.

There’s some extremely good trouble headed their way.

Nevertheless, she persisted.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

This is all too absurd to be reality, right?

Consistently wrong since 2002

Tick tock motherfuckers! Tick fucking tock!

Light Solstice Reading Club?

by Major Major Major Major|  November 22, 20202:42 pm| 80 Comments

This post is in: Books

For many of us, we’re approaching the time of year where we read Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather; a lucky few may even read it for the first time. In this solstice classic, Death takes over for a thinly-veiled Santa Claus figure. I’ve only read it once, but I seem to recall that hijinks ensue. I remembered …

Mostly-Working Brain Open Thread

This post is in: Books, Open Threads

Boy am I glad the election is over. I’d been distracted and irritable for months. But now I’ve finally got all the pieces of my brain back, and it seems I mostly remembered how they fit together. (Obviously this is all predicated on us having won, otherwise I’d be catatonic.) I can enjoy things so …

Good afternoonish time, everyone! What are we all doing to stay sane these days? Myself, it’s the usual–reading, writing, TV, video games, wishing a plague upon my enemies. I’ve been hitting the Pratchett pretty hard lately, and I started watching Grimm, which is kind of dumb but a fun distraction. But my number one diversion …

Is it October 11 already? Time flies when you’re locked in a plague bunker. Last year I wrote about my mixed feelings on this day of observance. Visibility can be a burden; most of us just want to live our lives. At the same time, lack of visibility is a big driver of the forces …

Early meme pioneer Longcat, real name Nobiko (“stretchy”?), has passed at the ripe old age of eighteen. 訃報 飼い主のみーこさんより、のび子さんが先ほど虹の橋を渡ったそうです。ご冥福をお祈りします。 2005年頃から猫画像の加工がブームとなるなかで、のびーるたんの愛称で親しまれ圧倒的な存在でした。 地球に生まれて長生きしてくれてありがとう、のびーるたん🌈 ※以下拾い物画像より pic.twitter.com/c7aOlgSLyi — えあろうっちー (@aerosubaru) September 20, 2020 A lot’s changed on the Internet since 2005, when that picture went viral… but some things, such as the supremacy of felis catus, have not. Here’s …

This post is in: Books, Cat Blogging, Open Threads

Looks like we could use a fresh one. I’m tired and lacking ideas for one, though, so… here, have a funny tweet I saw: In some shamanic traditions, it is believed that wearing the skull of one’s enemy may allow one to imbue the qualities of that enemy. In this case, we can imagine the …

This post is in: Music, Nature & Respite

It is Friday and I find myself with some free time between meetings. I also find myself not wanting to use it for work, or to discuss politics or disease. But you know what’s always nice? Music! What’s everybody been listening to lately? I’ll start. I’ve been hitting the J-pop pretty hard. Here are a …
