Hello BlueSky! Follow me for random Gen X crap and the Fark Weird News Quiz every Friday.
I looked up the menu of the Amish restaurant I saw today and their special this week is enchiladas.
I don't know what to think about that.

Even if we were actually at war, the whole "fog of war" crap falls apart because the only reason to send another missile is if the survivors of the first were able to be seen.
That's kind of the opposite of "fog of war".

Where are his shoulders
Junior is melting down tonight about the special election tomorrow in TN, which should be a cakewalk for Republicans. But it isn’t, thanks to his dad’s unpopularity.

My thoughts on the “male loneliness” epidemic:
There are many high profile examples of what women are looking for in a partner:
Tom Holland
Travis Kelce
Prince Harry
George Clooney
Klay Thompson
Benny Blanco
Jason Kelce
Russel Wilson
They all have the same thing in common:

My area got a "Winter Weather Advisory" last night and I was supposed to wake up to snow and I am disappointed.

I really like Dispatch but can we agree that there's something weird about an office sim that pushes you into dating either your boss or your subordinate?

I'm really not sure bringing Sarah Pain back into today's political discourse would be a net positive regardless of her opinions.
My periodic reminder that Sarah Palin (quite correctly) called for Rahm Emmanuel to be fired when he used the "R" word.
And my periodic reminder that maybe a political reporter wants to ask her what should happen when Trump uses it.
Like any reporter.

My takeaway is that the NG is not trained to respond to urban violence like a police officer. They don't belong there.

D.C. police to begin patrolling with National Guard after fatal attack
If enacted on a long-term basis, the change would significantly shift the way National Guard troops have worked with law enforcement in the District since their arrival.

If data centers are getting this ridiculous amount of investment, they can use some of this money to expand power grids. This whole "socialize the cost while privatizing the profits" thing is unworkable.
The main reason any state needs energy is because data centers are hogging it …🔻

The 2020 Georgia election case is going to be dismissed in its entirety, with the prosecutor offering less-than-persuasive reasoning. A miscarriage of justice that weakens our democracy.

After two assassination attempts on Trump by white guys born in the US, why is he not doing a "full review" of white guys who like guns?
So now they’re going to be doing individualized re-review of tens of thousands of Afghan evacuees’ cases on TOP of the re-review of 200,000+ refugees who entered under Biden?

I don't like calling this a "technicality". The fact is that the cases were so weak that the only person Trump could find to prosecute them was so incompetent she couldn't even see how bad they were, much less do her job effectively.
"The government and Halligan here got off on a technicality.
And yet, in the rough and tumble world of criminal litigation, a win is a win."
@benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org discusses the dismissal of the Letitia James and James Comey indictments in The Situation.

These are the people who for years heard the worst propaganda imaginable about Obama and how evil he was. They knew it was BS, but they repeated it anyway because he wasn't on their team. Now when they hear this about Trump, they think the left is doing the same thing they did.

Then the only people who would run for office would be independently wealthy people who don't need the money and would be far less likely to implement programs that benefit the poor.
Hey so what if I said politicians shouldn't be able to make millions of dollars in office and that they should be subjected to earn the same minimum wage of their state?

He's in the corner, eating some small furry thing he found in the tunnels under the White House.
I'd give him some space for a bit.

If someone brings this to Thanksgiving dinner, it's okay to ask them to leave. This is the sort of thing that should only be consumed in private.
