Honestly? It was kinda cool. Property damage and theft and chaos but no one killing each other.

There's this video of a Best Buy being looted in Chicago back in 2020. I watched it live on TV. Surreal.

What I remember most was how there was zero violence among PEOPLE. No one stole someone else's stolen TV. There wasn't any road-rage fist waving. Lots of rushing, but no trampling.

Remember in the '90s when bars would have ¢10 chicken wings? Because wings were essentially a waste product.

Not anymore.

For the first year of a new hire, the government pays for their health insurance and unemployment insurance. Penalties on the employer if the employee gets RIFfed within the first three years.

The sequel to Heated Rivalry that no one, in fact, wanted to see. Not even the creeps on 4chan. “Just nauseating” said one user, “And I've masturbated to My Little Pony.”

I had learned to ride and love the L in Chicago. Then I visited London and rode the tube. When I got back to Chicago, riding home on the Blue Line all I could notice was how *old* the L was—the cars, the stations, just everything.

Too bad their take away would be “Hold your giant parties ON AN ISLAND with ROBOT GUARDS”.

Required reading for billionaires def should include “The Masque of the Red Death”.

Chuck Schumer is the guy who drives the speed limit in the passing lane.

Massie goes full beast mode today.

Gets on the house floor, shreds the DOJ and starts naming names from the Epstein files.

Dems should just start chanting
Pe-do!
Pe-do!
Pe-do!
Until fists start flying.

Most students transition straight from (obligatory) high school to college. They don't so much want to be there as have nothing better to do.

Yet another reason a year of mandatory national service might be worth thinking about. Make them be something other than student for a while.

Get ready for the return of the slide-rule!

(True story: I used one in a copy-editing class to tease the kids who wanted GRAPHING calculators for determining basic ratios.)

It either:

A - doesn't really need to be done

or

B - you can pay someone else to do it

The perpetual shrinking of options that starts to happen as you age… might be a good thing?

Fewer options forces your hand. It simplifies choosing. It lets you *focus*.

I guess we need it because DQ trademarked Blizzard®?

“Climate refugees” fleeing the ravages of “climate disruption”.

Or somesuch.

Followed by another Redemption? 🤔

Now.

Pick the one that bothers you least.

Why isn’t shoveling snow one of the exercise option on my Apple watch?

The “information transfer” theory of communication is, what, 60 years out-of-date?

AI is trained on historical data. That's all it has to work with.

AI is irreparably racist, misogynistic, and heteronormative.

It a lesser-of-two-evils election, yet again, but the two evils are

• WOKE

and

• WHITE POWER

Vote accordingly.

But only if you’re a claymated guy with a super smart dog.

I was willing to believe that he had absolutely no reason for it. He just woke up from a nap and remembered that hospital ships exist and wanted to play with one.

That's where we are.

I recently read “Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World”.

IIRC, haddock was a trash fish. They only started selling it as people food when cod started running out.

Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than it’s been in decades & it’s purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism
