The Spokane area is one hell of an airshow at the moment. Tonight, someone needs to find whoever is Air Attack for this mess right now and buy them a cold drink of whatever the hell they want. They've earned it. You can't cram this many aircraft into this small an area without a solid ATGS.

Election experts say that Biden won the 2020 election fairly. A guy who shits himself in public and struggles to pass basic cognitive tests says that Trump won. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Our local newspaper, The Portland Press Herald, has lifted their paywall on coverage of the ICE shooting of a man in Biddeford, Maine this morning. They have excellent reporters and will have much more accurate information than natl news as we learn more: www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/s...

When abusive assholes die and people say we shouldn’t celebrate it, that baffles me, dying is literally the best thing some of these fuckers ever did and we aren’t supposed to give them props? wtf in my opinion.

There’s never been anyone whose involvement more completely and immediately poisons vibes and destroys joy. No good thing survives contact.

I was harping on the tattoo because a guy who would get one, keep it, and lie about it - while already fending off accusations of being a terrible guy - probably had a lot of other time bombs in his campaign. This is why you shouldn't get emotionally invested in candidates.
