Its bad, but assuming he was the same person a week ago, that seems even worse?

Last week he was engaged in a court-martial-able offense, and this week he’s now threatening people. Not sure how or why you’d split hairs here, but I really only pointed this out to show how war and (likely) Fox News can reduce a man to a pile of dog shit.

He has a chess board in front of him, so you know he is serious.

And assuming he's playing white, that's a really shitty opening.

His life is a giant sunk cost at this point and yes, you can throw in delusions of grandeur into his stupor as well.

Oh yeah, I just meant from a standpoint of these types being in the military or police are pretty much Fear #1 in my world.

That Marine Lt Col was getting all sorts of praise on social media because he called out leadership for their lack of leadership. And now he's threatening to bring the whole system down. Ok, dude. Way to shitcan 17 years of service.

One fucking thousand percent yes. It's not just the words. The words are said with a smirk and a nod that conveys "too weak for the Marines, bitch."

All the random car horns honking kills me. I still remember we were taught in driver's ed to give a quick honk if you thought a pedestrian was going to walk into the intersection and a bunch of other shit I don't remember. Nowadays the only time it's ever used constructively (and sometimes too often even then) is if someone is just sitting still at a green light for some reason. (And usually then it's for a good reason like there's an emergency vehicle coming that the person honking can't see).

If someone drove today like they did in 2021 in LA, they'd eventually be shot dead within a year.

I got an alert this morning that someone has added me to their 'Very Stupid People' list (because I posted something about the Braves having a racist chant and name, and having an anti-vaxxer sing the national anthem).

I couldn't be more proud.

ETA: And an explanation of why a Mountain Goats song has gone viral on TikTok:

What happens when your favorite thing goes viral?
A 2002 song by the Mountain Goats about a doomed divorce is suddenly big on TikTok. Why?

No, it’s weird that the Mountain Goats are TikTok famous because the Mountain Goats are perhaps the least likely candidates for “viral TikTok sensation” on the planet. The band, which formed 30 years ago (and, for long swaths, consisted of just one member) and originally recorded their music on DIY-style boomboxes, has released an astounding 20 albums. These albums seem relatively unconcerned with breakout singles or hits and more interested in shaping larger complex narratives about topics from Dungeons & Dragons to professional wrestling to child abuse.

Which is to say, it can be a bit daunting for would-be fans to tackle the band’s discography; there is simply so much of it, and so much subtext to sift through. The Mountain Goats getting TikTok famous sort of feels like if Ulysses suddenly became the bestselling book on Amazon.

Speaking of kids finding bands that predate them and all that ... last Saturday a block away there was a "concert" of sorts from 3:00-6:00 in someone's backyard featuring a girl who sounded close enough to Snail Mail at times, a guy who sounded like his voice was about 2/3 to adulthood and then another guy who was pretty solid. The last guy introduced one song as "by a band named The Strokes" and it made me want to die.

Meanwhile, they are a "new" band in my eyes, that I've heard the name but know nothing about them. I'm realizing that when I went to law school, the outside world of pop culture stopped advancing, and I just never got back into music. All of my "new music" consists of dozens of albums Bapo! dropboxed me maybe 8 or 10 years ago, and a lot of it wasn't recent at the time.
