Former radio DJ, now the creative director for a local media company. I do voiceover work on the side and, as a hobby, write TV shows that will probably never get produced, mostly because they're all unfinished. I have been known to edit digital audio down to the very bit.

Hallett Street Viaduct Current Status: NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT

(The garbage truck struck the bridge, which is low over the road due to the time at which it was built. Raising the bridge would be a massive project that closes several other streets in the city, while lowering this street involves replacing all the utilities in the right of way and creating a new drainage system. The latter is actually the more feasible, but the city and the railroad have been putting it off for decades.)

Am I the only one who doesn’t understand why Al Franken had to resign for a joke photo he took years before he was a senator, but elected officials who participated in or encouraged an armed insurrection to overthrow our democracy are allowed to stay in government?
Obligatory edit of Ron "Hello, Fellow Homo Sapiens" DeSantis being weird, going from laughing to a stone faced demeanor in no time flat, with the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme added at the end. You're welcome, Internet.
Waffles are superior, anyway. Look at all that syrup on the plate. What a waste. Waffles compassionately hold the syrup for you as if to say, "here, you deserve this sweet maple goodness. Allow me to deliver it to you neatly." Pancakes would never do that. Pancakes are assholes.

(2) That says to ME that Trump was taking note and remembering names so that he knows who to target with future threats of violence. So just be aware: he's going to start naming names soon. No gag order is going to stop him from that.

He needs to be behind bars without Internet access as of yesterday.

(1) I posted about this yesterday as it happened, but I think it bears repeating because the media seems to be missing it entirely in their analyses of Trump's arraignment hearing. CBS News's Scott McFarlane reported from the courthouse yesterday, the ONE DIFFERENCE between Trump's behavior at prior arraignments and this one was this:

"He was looking to see who was there."
