OMG. Bad guy gets foiled by two intended victims in a row.

Uber applies for a patent that would enable its drivers to identify drunken passengers. The how is soooooo creepy.

I’m a couple weeks late with this news, but Dick Tuck, famous political trickster and Richard Nixon’s lifelong (and beyond) nemesis, died recently at the age of 94.

Can a wandering mind make you neurotic? Hell, yes!*

One more way for the left to eat its own. When biological males who identify as females are allowed to compete in sports against biological women and girls the predictable happens.

Can anybody be surprised? Senators are agitating to turn the (allegedly) disappearing NICS database into a permanent firearm registry so law enforcement can investigate us all.

At Harvard, you can’t even say “free speech” if you want to hold an event there. Because, you know, free speech is such a right-wing thing.

They were having a sale at the pot shop

Oh, you have no idea how delighted I am to be able to say that. It’s 420 and the local cannabis dealer was mobbed this a.m. for its annual sale. It’s a beautiful shop run by nice people and I’m so glad to see it making a (you’ll pardon the expression) hit. It’s beloved by recreational users, cancer patients, pain patients, people with digestive issues, and certainly by the ‘crats who collect marijuana taxes. While the budtenders are mostly young kids (who, for some reason have taken to wearing Bob Marley dreads despite most of them being white and female),…

Okay, you’ve heard by now that the resource officer on site at the Florida school shooting was being paid $75k a year (plus benefits!) to cower behind a pillar while students in his dubious care were murdered. But boy, he seems to have been a general freeloading sleaze even before that.

I haven’t been paying much attention to any Trump-administration scandals (all those imaginary Russians!). But this news on how Paul Manafort got tripped up by his inability to handle everyday tech is hilarious. When you’re faking it with millions of dollars you’d think you’d at least put a touch of effort into your deceptions.
