And so I go into the woods. As I go in under the trees, dependably, almost at once, and by nothing I do, things fall into place … my mind loses its urging, senses its nature, and is free.- W. Berry

The article was intended as rage-bait, worked perfectly, and received the attention the writer wanted.The real question is how are so many people so gullible this far into the online age. It really shouldn’t be so easy.

The WSJ piece was blatantly obvious rage bait and worked precisely as intended.

We don’t like the thought of going out. The hassle of getting there, getting dressed, other people etc. Once we actually get to the show, I doubt many regret the effort.

It will be way less sophisticated than that. There will be masked ICE goons posted outside polling places in D precincts harassing and intimidating in the name of “election security.”

“I mean let’s get real,” the CDOT spokesman said. “There’s construction everywhere, roads shutdown, some projects have been going on so long even we have forgot what the initial purpose was. So yeah, good luck out there. It’s a complete mess. Someone should really do something about it.”

On a black and white game cam, three javelinas are browsing corn while a raccoon sits on one of their backs.  The lighting produces laser-eyes in the raccoon, who is secretly one of the X-Men.

South Texas game cam catches a raccoon riding a javelina (Dicotyles tajacu).

The deer feeder corn attracts a lot of other species, but maybe we should worry about them all teaming up against us?

Aretha’s “Weight” does feature a swampy Duane Allman but I know what you mean.

You have to find joy where you can these days and the thought that the entire executive class voted for this guy, who they knew was nuts, to get lower taxes and dereg and now he’s going to destroy each of their industries one-by-one is one place to find it.

Anyone looking at me or my kids with those will be at the significant disadvantage of just being punched.

“Amid tensions”. You have to admire the creativity of modern journalists in their task of never clearly stating what’s actually going on even though it’s plain to see. This is like “Germany sends armies into Belgium amid tensions.”

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

Reading comprehension is not your thing is it? Try it again. You got it horribly wrong the first time.

They’re literally sitting there doing nothing while history repeats itself in Ukraine.

Sorry the quote was “why do you allow this” not put up. That’s not how humanity works unfortunately.

I’m not comparing anything. I’m broken-hearted about it all. But asking an American why we “put up with gun deaths” is like asking a European why they “put up with WWs” or a Russian why they “put up with Putin.” Not in the mood to argue since 3 teens are in critical condition an hour from me.

Really? There’s 100 million dead in the twentieth century alone that might disagree with you.

3 teens in critical condition an hour from me. One of those days it’s hard to look my 11-year-old in the eye.

I don’t think Europe has a very good track record of not killing each other with guns.

It’s also incredibly simple to say what party and what people in that party make this possible. If one is too cowardly to say both on a day like this than say nothing. Here’s what happened in my community today.

Made possible by one political party. But we’re being admonished not to say that today for reasons.

Which current campus shooting are you referring to? Hard to keep track.
