This Wisconsin game looking bad

Just poop

Every time i see the Scott Adams is a MAGA thing i worry this is Gary Larson. Dilbert is old and busted but The Far Side is eternal.

FTR, I'm smdh at all the whinging about how much it cost.

Good explainer for why the US Government spent all that money to shoot down the balloon with an AIM9X in stead of having MTG and Lauren Boebert shoot it down with their ARs or their glocks. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/interactive/2023/how-us-improvised-plan-deal-with-chinese-balloon/?itid=hp_only-from-the-post_p002_f001

It always depends on the artist. Michael Jackson, people can separate the pederasty from the art because the art was so good and his upbringing was so weird. I don't think you get to be a nazi though. That is beyond the pale (ironically).

In retrospect, Roger Waters was always fascinated by the nazis. The scenes in The Wall where he becomes a dictator show that.

woot!

Tigers' PR is amusing

Victory! Not that it means anything but satisfaction anyway.

I am definitely enjoying the broadcast. I took a drive and half the game was over before an hour. Tempo, allegro.

Trouble avoided. Bottom 8th 4-2 Tigers on top. I wish the cartoon would resume working.

sounds like we have some trouble in this inning.

The cartoon is broke.

Speed of this game is crazy

Dealing with a low-functioning alcoholic at work right now…not enjoying every minute.

Fascinating. The warning we provided was crucial.

We needed a realtor intervention for all three idiots.

We have a guy on our normal dog walk who apparently is the local candy man who sells whatever weird substances out of the house he clearly inherited. Through inaction he's turned a house worth a lot into the eyesore of the block and to boot he does a lot of car maintenance on a Volkswagen bug and a Mazda Miata (and not the more recent Miata that I think looks awesome) in the driveway. So, he's also trans. And walks up and down this street looking like a cast member from Rocky Horror. Basically, quite the standout in appearance among the frumpy suburban types. Anyway, I like to tell my kids: "despite what the movies and tv shows say, the person who is different isn't always secretly a good person"

But, i suspect their xenophobia and racism will help them power through all that.

Just wait until they figure out that their unquestioning of the idea of "free markets equal free societies" led directly to the gorilla on Taiwan's door.

There are a lot of my-way-or-the-highway fascists in the world. That does not explain all of the RW but plenty.

this is a bit facile

Not unexpected. At the soldier level there is little political hostility.
