It would be funny if Firestone got the rights.

E.g., Nancy Mace who came in as a normie and is now just a space cadet.

Behooved MTG really is intensely fascinated by her.

Weird* how AOC is such a target for the MAGAs. She's a smokeshow and she's hardly Jane Fonda politically. *not really weird.

One needs only look at the Morningweg and Patricia Lions teams.

Having watched the Lions a lot more this season (more national games) Its amazing how bad coaching can be at this level. I watch teams making some really boneheaded decisions.

I don't want to face Vikings again. I think the rest of the NFC field doesn't scare me except i'm a little concerned how good the Commanders are going to be with Jaden Daniels next year.

⚠️ In response to Musk changing the X algorithm to deboost negative content, people asked Grok what is considered “negative” and were told: • Criticism of the government • Commentary about misinformation • Suggestion the public is being manipulated • Attacks against powerful people or institutions

OPM closed on Monday

School cancelled already for tomorrow. I would check this if you want to know if your government agency is open for business. Although i suspect they won't announce until late. https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/snow-dismissal-procedures/current-status/

DC's infrastructure is actually pretty good. All the roads are "brined" right now. The issue is really that when we get snow events they are the slobbernocker nor'easters that cycle a lot of moisture in from the ocean or this weird storm that appears to unusually wet for coming across from the West. Winter is like a month here though. We will be outdoors practicing softball by mid Feb.

The real challenge to Democracy will be if the auditors and IGs are infected by MAGAs. Every fact will have to be a MAGA-approved fact then. 2+2 will be whatever Big Brother says.

Not as bad but...school definitely canceled with that amount in Virginia. My son says at MSU the school admins would laugh at you if you suggested you couldn't make it to class in 4" of snow.

This is real? I didn't see this because of the peyote salsa?

Speaking of lunatics: which got more press? Matthew Livelsberger political views Connor Stalions Michigan Manifesto

I was suspicious of VDOT when it didn't mention toilet paper: a real luxury during the crazed times of a powerful nor'easter.

Basically, as you drive the highways the last two days the road signs were telling you to: stock up on ammunition, hydro and gold and to cannibalize your neighbors and to speculate on baby formula so as to achieve dominance over the weak.

No they aren't. DC is going to be very snowy on Monday. 8" is our low prediction here.

Twitter needs to have its back broken.

I'm really not sure how to receive this information. I know all these people exist. I know the movements have been around since forever but always on the fringe. The legend or trope goes that the FBI informant in any local KKK group is the only guy in the local KKK group with any money or motivation to do anything really dangerous. I grew up reading "Soldier of Fortune" or whatever other survival magazines which always had the types of people in them who buy the products and espouse that lifestyle. Who else needs survival rations but people who think the end times are nigh? I wish the actual impact of Trump leading the J6 insurrection was actual condign punishment for him and his clique but it never really happened like it needed to.

The Alex Edelman standup show about his attending the white power meeting in Brooklyn is very amusing as well as informative. Alex' father apparently knows Conan O'brien's father up in Boston area where both are renowned medical researchers I gather.

Cleanup is the Jan6 thread so its here. I mean, plenty of other scope for needing to cleanup the lunatic fringe in this country but that was the event that kicked this thread off.

I'm not sure why veterans wouldn't want an agency doing specialized research on veteran's specific health issues. The Las Vegas MAGA who killed himself in that godawful vehicle was suffering from PTSD and other mental health issues -- besides these post-incident reports of that mental illness -- were clearly demonstrated his committing suicide in the worst vehicle by cost thus far in the history of mankind. The poor fellow was also deluded to think MAGA was going to somehow help Ukraine. My father relies on the VA for most of his healthcare and seems to think the hospitals in western Michigan are responsive to his needs.

So, basically every retiree who doesn't like living in the crazed hellscape that is Florida moves back somewhere in between Michigan and Florida to live in a semi-crazed hellscape like western North Carolina. The ones with some gumption about having investments keep their Florida property as VRBOs. Others they just sell to holding companies that VRBO the crap out of them. Lots of places to rent in central Florida given Disney/Universal et.al.,

The amount of VRBO options is large.
