So how's that "The A-Team" re-make going, y'all?
In the 1980s classic "The Thing," there's a long tracking shot of the station chef roller-skating through the Ant arctic base, ending with him pausing in a doorway, asking, "Maybe we're at war with Norway?"
That's been my mood of late.

I do a lot of corporate writing. Every now and then I gotta be me, and sometimes I get away with it.
This client let me go on about kaijus, the zombie apocalypse, and the Lord Humungus in a blog about disaster recovery. My lowbrow b-movie obsessions.

Today we go before a judge to take the first steps in defending our foster-daughter. She's been with us since she was a baby. In the eyes of the law, we are non-persons, since foster parents have zero rights. We're looking to change that situation.
Gonna be a day.
This article is fantastic AND those of us who’ve been organizing since early December are oh-so-very tired.
Time for the second wave of folks to jump in and take on more so we can rest a bit.
If you have capacity, plug in with whatever’s happening in your neighborhood.
[B]y mid-January, the feds had amassed some 35,000 weapons in Minneapolis. [...]
“Fucking overkill,” a homeland security official said of the inventory. “I’ve never seen this amount of shit being used.”

as someone who pushes hard against conspiratorial thinking in my professional and political life, it is deeply irritating when, on top of the untold human harms Epstein caused, it turns out he was at the center of at least half a dozen actual conspiracies

Same trajectory from another penile-American. I used to fancy myself a "moderate" along several lines, now I feel moderation is for dupes and stooges.
Folks said "you'll get more conservative as you get older!" Me, older:
Photo of Elmo with quote from Antonio Gramsci: "The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters."
Or as I tell my kids, when they ask me, "It's easier to destroy than to create, so there must be more decent people than bad. If psychopaths were a majority, we wouldn't have a civilization."
"These agents, and the president who sent them, are no one’s heroes, no one’s saviors—just men with guns who have to hide their faces to shoot a mom in the face, and a nurse in the back."
"No application of armed violence can make the men with guns as heroic as the people who choose to stand in their path with empty hands in defense of their neighbors."
"Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority."
"Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it."
"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once."

WAIT there's not even an investigation going on?
there's no statue of limitation on murder

he'll be pardoned by then but state charges possible
press must print out chart of all the video frames
make officials point to frame where his life in danger
The news is relentlessly awful and out country is turning into a fascist hellhole. So, um, here's Winston Churchill on a water slide.
