What exactly do you think CECOT is? Those people aren't awaiting trial.

My guess is a more-likely outcome, if the GOP stays Trumpy post-Trump, is that a bunch of Reagan Republican types give up on Trump, just join the Democratic Party and get some policy concessions out of the Democrats.

Except the brand name is poisoned for their base. Forming a new party fixes that. The real problem is that they won't attract any big names from either side.

All the big name politicians on the right are the Trumpy nutjobs, and the big name politicians on the left are either too left-wing or they're entrenched leadership.

My wife and I established movie nights with our kids when they were 5 and 2. Everyone takes turns picking a movie, and no one is allowed to complain.

This is how we've managed to break the pattern of our kids watching the same movies over and over and over. Since instituting movie night about a year ago, we've only seen Frozen once.

It also gives us the opportunity to expose the kids to our favorite movies.

The movie we've watched the most times is probably Disney's Robin Hood (3 times). Second most is a tie between Matilda, Babe, and Across the Spider-verse (2 times each). So I'd say it's going extremely well.

It's been over a year and I still think about him pleading with himself, trying to decide what to do.

I don't have enough skin.

The cops beat down the door . . .

I really thought it was going another direction, where they'd just, you know, get more skin.

Counterpoint: "Batman voice"

Christian Bale is a great actor, but I think he was the worst Batman.

As a resident of Floxus, I propose we make the creeping phlox our state flower.

(It smells like rotting skunk.)

Given how much cuter a goldfish is than a silverfish, whatever a bronzefish is must be a absolutely disgusting.

Wrap the can in a wet paper towel. It'll get cold much faster that way, possibly before you forget it's in there.

Do you have experience with ticks? You can't stomp them. They're too small and flat with hard shells and don't squish. They have to be cut in half, burned, or drowned. Some people can kill them with their fingernails, but mine are too short.

I found two of them on my body later that night and killed them with tweezers. Or fire, I don't remember which.

Also, deer ticks carry Lyme disease, not lone star ticks.

One time I saw a lone star tick crawl into the headphone jack of my phone.

I tried everything I could think of to get it out, to no avail. Then I googled two things:

  • What eats ticks?

  • Guinea hen mating sounds

After fifteen seconds of guinea hen sounds, I watched the tick crawl out of my phone... and immediately disappear.

And it was named that because it was cheap tape.

And I definitely didn't accidentally step on any crayons in the process.

 
 

See? Nobody cares.
