  1. This is my second encounter with a pit mix lunging at my dog, I posted about the other one around Christmas. I’ve seen the other one being walked with a muzzle on a couple times since (we avoid that street). I’m glad the owner is doing it but I just don’t fucking get it. I love dogs, before our little guy we’ve had a boxer and a Dalmatian so I even love big dogs. If I had an animal that required a muzzle for a walk, I’d no longer have the animal. Period.
  2. Read this insane story about Ira Glass of NPR and a pit bull that held him and his wife hostage and had to eat kangaroo meat. It’s a pathology. https://web.archive.org/web/20160805130408/https://www.petful.com/pet-health/ira-glass-dog-piney/
  3. Had a close call in the neighborhood today with this little guy. As we were walking, I heard the scraping of toenails on concrete and turned around to see a pit mix hauling ass straight towards us. I grabbed up the little fella and began hauling ass the other while wondering what the fuck I’d do once this thing caught up. Sheer luck that a woman backing out of her drive saw what was going on and threw open the door to her SUV for me and the pooch to hop in as this menace was going nuts outside. A bit later the put mommy comes walking up with the leash and a bag of treats to try and lure her alligator back. Apologizes that “he just got away when we were getting ready for a walk and saw your little dog.” Fuck the people who own, breed, and rescue these animals. Especially fuck the people behind the campaign to convince dog mommies that they’re just misunderstood sweethearts. It used to be that living in a decent neighborhood meant you were pretty safe because normal people didn’t keep these things around and they’d be shunned by neighbors. Gotdamn wine mommies are now bringing these creatures home from the rescue to the cul-de-sac.
  4. There are so many shittier 19th century presidents than GWB, LOL. Some true zeros and assholes. Millennium Challenge Corporation alone keeps him out of the bottom five.
  5. lol, could only have been better if she alleged she had been doxxed.
  6. The Chevron case is the big one and you can see my post in the debate thread about institutions. They’re broken and done. The project of having a democratic government that tries to make things better is over.
  7. I would trade the entire Freedom Caucus for one Ukrainian NCO so that statement is not entirely accurate.
  8. I didn’t watch. I will definitely vote for Joe Biden because it is the only meaningful vote for a democratic and constitutional order.
  9. “I don’t want this competent and ethical but feeble guy. Bring on the vigorous authoritarian criminal.” That’s truly a wild take.
  10. Most of the country is moderate and yet the person likely to win uses the most apocalyptic language and calls for the most drastic and norm-shattering actions. Those statements don’t line up. We’ve just accepted the unacceptable as normal for the right side of the aisle. The likely winner tried to avoid leaving office, denied he lost, and egged on the violent attack on his own VP. IF YOU ARE OK WITH THAT YOU ARE NOT A MODERATE.
  11. I am sorry but there’s nothing moderate about thinking a second Trump admin will be no big deal. For all the crowing about the resilience of our institutions, I’d argue that the current race and the state of our grand debate is proof positive that they’re broken. We kept driving with the check engine light on. Trump as the rep of a party is a sign that party is broken. SCOTUS is broken and no longer pretending to be non-political. Our media is egging on a crisis just to draw views. We are fucked. We have gotten irrevocably stupider. This is a different country than it was in 2012.
  12. Biden isn’t even a Boomer, he’s older. Trump barely is. We are partly here because of the Baby Boom generation, which has combined complete narcissism with tremendous political power and has left generations behind them underinvested in the United States. There are generations of voters who are willing to break shit and play roughly with something they don’t feel like they own.
  13. I hope that anyone who chooses a known felon who is a pathological liar who wants to destroy the democratic system over “old” never made fun of those women who chose the bear.
  14. Count me in the camp that didn’t watch and doesn’t think a debate in June is particularly significant. I’d have much rather had Joe refuse to take the stage with DJT on the grounds that DJT is a felon and that you can’t debate with lies. Beyond that, debates are a relic of a different information era when you couldn’t compare policies and character 24/7 in real time. But the old thing is a problem and is the reason JB has to get on stage. If he refuses then that avenue of an attack will just sink him. The best Biden can do in these things is hold serve. I think Trump’s cognitive function is likely worse than Biden’s but it manifests differently and his supporters embrace it.
  15. There is a compelling federalist case that state and local officials should be allowed to be corrupt. I don’t see how the republic functions without those protections.
  16. BIG win for Biden WH in Missouri v Biden. The feds are allowed to flag disinformation and hostile threats to social media companies.
  17. The butcher had prime Denver steaks for less than half the ribeye and I grabbed them. This is a newer cut from part of the chuck that doesn’t get much exercise. Pretty pretty pretty good with roasted garlic compound butter to finish.
  18. Grilled Portuguese style swordfish and lemon butter, sautéed green beans, salad.
  19. Believe me we fucking know. It’s not fun.
  20. I can’t believe I actually get to watch them play for something real. I also think Tennessee has the edge with Montgomery and Sdao out and LaViolette either out or hurting. But it’s fun as hell to be here.
  21. I am. They’ve only moved what, 10K units? These things look so stupid in the wild, it’s hard to describe.
  22. I saw one of these things yesterday at the movie parking lot (Inside Out 2 is not as good as 1). My nine year old daughter asked “what is that car? Why would anyone buy a weird car like that?”
  23. Imagine saying “I’m not a rocket scientist but I am a doctor so here’s my thoughts on building spaceships.”
