Developing story. It will be very interesting to see whether Kash Patel's FBI found the correct suspect, and how.
It would also be helpful if someone ran him through facial recognition to see if he was on Capitol grounds on January 6th.

Flooding here in Durham. Here, the Eno River is normally 3 feet deep, but this morning it overflowed its banks and was 20' above the normal level, just a couple of feet under the bridges.

This is real and at your grocery store. The innovation of late capitalism, creating new products nobody asked for--even if you wanted a beer/food themed chip, who in their right mind would choose Miller Light as the brand to feature? And not one, but three flavors?

Everyone of a certain age remembers Welcome Back Kotter, a show starring and created by Gabe Kaplan, in which a former remedial student returns to his old high school to teach the same kinds of students he would have had in his remedial classes. He was teaching the Sweathogs, and he used to be one.

Shortly after Trump was inaugurated, we had a "hoax" in Durham in which someone painted their truck in such a way that it might lead people to believe it was ICE.

I used to argue that Democrats ought to focus on policy and organizing.
But festooning garbage trucks with flags has worked for Trump, and we are in the age of reality show government, so maybe this is correct. A sign of life from the DNC, at least.

This is supposed to be an easy question, but someone chose "a" and I'm struggling to figure out whether it shows they are careless and inattentive or more thoughtful than I was when I wrote it.

They're pretending it's a research aid or a source of lifestyle advice, like Playboy was about the articles.
Except Playboy actually did hire some good writers. This is more like that one grad student who writes essays for undergrads, except more brazen and enshittified.

You know that fun children's museum in your town or the next town over? The one you took your kids and grandkids to, the one that the schools use for field trips?
Doesn't matter which one. It just had its funding cut.

Lots of folks are reporting that Trump's codename in Russian intelligence is Krasnov.
No idea if that's true, but if it is, it's 100% a reference to Pyotr Krasnov, a White who collaborated with the Nazis and was executed by the Soviets in 1947.
