100% my fault for getting distracted and forgetting to pay, but 70 bucks?
Then $85 if not paid by Saturday?
Sheesh.
I don't get a lot of tickets, but this seems a bit steep.
Can I get off on a technicality because they spelled "Kawasaki" wrong?

Yeah, this guy.

And waking you up this morning on The Early Edition with something a little bit different. A mash-up of an acapella version of a song and the original.
The vocal-only version is making the rounds online and turned up in the trailer for "The Smashing Machine."
Know who it is yet?

Thanks to @gracenote.bsky.social for reminding me that our Wake-Up Song is also the earworm of the day.
I've chosen today's tune with exactly that in mind.

The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 1d

We at The Steady State have studied the indicators of authoritarianism for decades — usually dry words in intelligence reports. But sometimes, a single photograph says it all.

Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive all at once. It creeps in under cover of “order,” cloaked in uniforms, justified by fear.

Also, you're lucky it wasn't Steely Dan's "Dirty Work" this morning, seeing as I saw One Battle After Another last night.
