Two years ago on the old site I made a similar point about R terror in criticizing a goofy article about how Ds are losing rural areas and my replies were full of stories like this. This should be national news, it should replace the diner stories for this cycle

The Department of Homeland Security spent the last 18 months preparing to protect the Super Bowl, including by sending 385 personnel to Las Vegas — despite admitting there are "no known, credible, specific threats." How your taxes are being spent:
Super Bowl Is Better Protected Than Our Troops
This year’s Super Bowl in Las Vegas has better protections against rogue drones than the many small U.S. bases in the Middle East like Tower 22, where three American soldiers were killed by a kamikaze...

Sure appears we may see something no one in this country has seen in 159 years. Multiple states are now backing Texas and the decision to go toe to toe with the federal government. This has the potential to fracture our system of government in fundamental ways. This is how civil conflicts start.

It seems like if you’re a rich sociopath the thing to do is buy up institutions that give people joy and jobs and then just turn them to shit.

Gaia, an 8-month-old black-footed cat, is the newest resident at Utah’s Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City.
She’s part of an effort to conserve her at-risk breed — a pint-size powerhouse species whose hunting prowess makes it the world’s deadliest cat.

To email or not to email... that is is the question. I've been to only one Broadway play & was lucky that the audience was perfectly quiet & respectful. During a Hamlet performance, The Hot Priest dealt with double the existential angst when an audience member violated his soliloquy.

When the enormity of the world's horrors makes you feel helpless, narrow your focus. Find one stranger and scold them for posting a recipe while kids are dying. Call out a new mom for not adding alt text to a baby photo. Critique a selfie. Correct a joke. Show people you care more than them.

Saw Prince Ahmed by Lotte Reiniger, the 1st ever animated feature film on the big screen @ Niles Essanay Film Museum in Fremont, CA. Disappointed with the storytelling & faded colors from the 1960s 16mm print. The silver lining was witnessing Lotte’s wonderful artistry & ingenuity.
