My more conspiratorial brain thinks he's afraid of pushing "go" and ending Richmond's decades old love affair with nonenforcement of traffic laws. But in reality it's probably just the same ever present dysfunction and resistance to change.

This week at The Lookout, I profiled Steven Keener, the CNU crime research who co-authored a first-of-its-kind study on how cops place automated license plate readers. (Spoiler alert: race appears to be a big factor!)

My chud coworker who commutes 90 minutes each way in his super duty truck was talking a bunch of trash yesterday about invading and taking over Iran, even nuking Tehran, and I asked him what his plans were when gas is $5/gal in two weeks and he turned ashen.

the US has already lost in iran, their only hope was iran collapsing in a day or two, and it didn't, so now their only options are to declare victory & slink away or try to put boots on the ground & lose way harder

They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump.

I don't just mean "Oh, be more interested in random things" -- I mean just the act of questioning, of thinking beyond a single task. Completely falling by the wayside. It's depressing!

As I was leaving the military at 29 yrs old it was dawning on me that many senior servicemen were divorced, in their 40s and sleeping on Captain America blankets with matching underwear.
