You ever think about how there was only 1 to 2 months between the actual wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and Gordon Lightfoot recording his song.
And how weird and slightly deranged it would be if someone had dropped a banger about a contemporary disaster on its heels.

Fun fact: Gordon Lightfoot wrote the song first, and then sank the Edmund Fitzgerald himself in what has come to be recognized as one of the first viral marketing stunts

Okay, Mr. President. But, you know, if you like to joke around... there's something you could do that everyone would agree is The Funniest Thing Ever.
Trump claims he was "being funny" when he said he's not going to heaven

But also as a heavily laden bulk carrier modified past the limits of its original design specs with shitty maintenance and sailed straight into historically bad weather. It's like "what didn't sink it??"

every single week they're throwing this guy a special oval office love-in that appears to be the presidential equivalent of letting your dog scarf an entire big mac and fries before that last trip to the vet
Pirro: "Mr President, there is in this room a group of people who love you, who believe in you, and who are so proud to be in this Oval Office and to be part of this amazing day because you have changed the course of America."

As someone who has previously worked for the LANL supercomputing division and would live a 10 minute drive from the proposed site, I feel like I'm required to have a take.
But I don't, I won't. You can't make me.
Except, some of 404's gloss I find annoying.

It’s a classic David and Goliath story. On one side is the small town of Ypsi which has a population just north of 20,000.
On the other is the University of Michigan and Los Alamos National Laboratories, American scientists famous for nuclear weapons and, lately, pushing the boundaries of AI.

been a couple other things that make me think China is cracking down on lgbt (mostly in HK, because that’s becoming a PRC city at this point)
SCOOP: China's top 2 gay dating apps, Blued and Finka, became unavailable on app stores over the weekend. Apple confirmed to WIRED that it removed the two apps following "an order from the Cyberspace Administration of China."

I think the difference between this being witless and savvy is that there will be another iteration of this in mere months.
I know Durbin can be a bit of a dope, but there will be an opportunity to punish any betrayal soon. And if you can't prevent the cave, this seems like the 2nd best positioning

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

I guess I've ended up essentially where I was with the last shutdown fight. Which is that there's actually a lot of justifiable legislative strategy, but also the messaging and handling has been godawful and left the base feeling betrayed.
