He's also looking for who ate the rest of the strawberries.

In other words, he's gone Wouk.

The inevitable appeals will take a long time to sort out.

So the case has a fart way to go before it is resolved. But I’m sure it will sort itself out in the end.

Be _very_ careful never to be caught in the dark with a grue jay. _Especially_ in a maze of twisty passages, all alike.

You are very likely to be eaten.

Last year I spent quite a while listening to Mike Duncan’s excellent History of Rome podcast, which he recorded from 2007 to 2012. There were so many observations he made on how the Republic collapsed that felt _way_ too spot on to our current situation for my comfort level.

And the same song provides a timely warning about democracy:

Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got till it's gone?

If you're interested in following the plans for the Air Force Reserve and NOAA Hurricane Hunters to fly into Erin, check out the Tropical Cyclone Plan of the Day at www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAREPR.... It's published daily by 1830Z (2:30pm EDT), and details the plans for the next day's flying.

The statistical peak of the Atlantic hurricane season typically runs from mid-August until early October. And right on cue, TS Erin is headed westbound across the Atlantic.

To get the latest watches and warning straight from the source, head to hurricanes.gov.

At the end of his post Kessler compares the Post to the Titanic and Bezos to the Carpathia. Wrong. Bezos is the iceberg.

So _that’s_ where my Magic 8-Ball went!

But in all seriousness science and scientists in and out of government are under assault by a regime that is the embodiment of Dunning-Kruger. The damage will last decades. 🀬

When I played a bard, I ended up becoming the party’s β€œnegotiator” due to having the highest charisma. It got old after a while, so I switched to a monk who took a vow of silence. Problem solved! πŸ˜€

I thought Chronic Venous Insufficiency described a narcissist whose actual achievements fell far short of their opinion of themselves.

Oh wait - that’s Chronic Vainous Insufficiency.

My mistake - but in this case I'd argue it's an easy to get the two mixed up.

Yep - legacy media is now only interested in profits for their corporate owners, not in fulfilling their role of being the Fourth Estate.
