State is on fire.
Not enough water.
If the rain does return, expect mudslides and not the good kind.
Not-so bullet train between Nowhere and Nothing.

Watched last night and highly recommended: "Arkangel," an episode of the British series Black Mirror that's the best fictional exploration of helicopter parenting that I've encountered:
The system that lends its name to the episode’s title is an implant inside a child’s brain that offers the parent the ability to monitor and censor what the child sees and hears. Sara effectively gets parental control codes for her reality. The barking dog that spooked a stroller-strapped Sara? Gone in a blur of pixels. Violent videos being shared on the elementary school playground? Invisible to Sara’s eyes. The implant that allows Marie to sit on her daughter’s shoulders every waking second, the device that makes her calm in the face of a dangerous world? It alienates Sara (played at age 15 by the brooding dynamo Brenna Harding) from the bruises of young life as well as from her classmates.
It's on Netflix for those who are interested.

That's either the Onion or a collection of fetus-fetishests. Reading that article helps me understand Timothy McVeigh and the other Messianic McBombmakers out there.

Bill Nye, you should stick to comedy. Tho this is pretty funny.
“There’s a lot of emphasis from conservatives on what are writ-large states rights. Just watch out, conservatives, if states rights include California, Illinois, New York — these places that, where people voted in a progressive fashion — watch out if all those places start to address climate change and then impose economic sanctions, either overtly or by default, on places that have not embraced the work that needs to be done. Then you’ll end up with this states rights working the other way.”
The red states can help you out, Bill. Stop the shipments of oil, gas, and electricity. That will bigly decrease the amount of carbon emissions from blue states, and go a long way towards...what's that Bill? only the little people should feel the pain?

This is not the year for Texans to smirk at Californians regarding the mismanagement of natural forces; you've collected far more death through such incompetence than we have.
As always, there's plenty of water: Nobody's thirsty, and the historical gifting to farmers is being withdrawn.
You murder people en masse during Cowboys games.
You've elected Sheila Jackson Lee to national office, inflicting her lunacy on the rest of the nation.
It's as if you're a thirteen-year-old, screeching ever more loudly, and in an ever-growing number of school settings:
"I'm NOT in love with Ms. Pecklepink, the shapely new drama teacher."
"I saaaaid, I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH MS. PECKLEPINK, THE SHAPELY NEW DRAMA TEACHER."
"GOD DAMN IT, I AM NOT IN LOVE WITH MS. PECKLEPINK, THE SHAPELY NEW DRAMA TEACHER!!!"
Okay, Little Fella...

From Darth's linked article (I R A Darth Aggie at December 30, 2017 6:49 AM): She continues, “In my previous article, I wrote, ‘In my sweat-soaked, sit-straight-up-in-bed feminist nightmares, I can imagine a future in which my own spawn makes some woman feel as voiceless as the boys in my high school once did, a world in which he blithely argues against the existence of male privilege and shit-talks the latest all-female remake on Twitter.’ Lately, I can imagine it even more clearly.”
He should shit-talk the latest all-female remake. Ghostbusters / Oceans 8 / [Insert Latest All-Female Remake Here] sucks by default, being derivative and unoriginal. Talk to me about the latest original idea all-female movie. Oh, yeah, there isn't one.
Another view of the Kansas SWATting. ~ I R A Darth Aggie at December 30, 2017 7:18 AM
The SWATter may not be legally liable for the death, but he certainly could (and should) be held civilly responsible. He loosed a keyed up police force on an innocent man, put on edge by reports of violence.
Unfortunately for his past-due comeuppance, the family will likely stop at suing the Wichita Police.

Darth, Kamala is not yet at the level of lunacy at which Waters or Lee or the other moonbats (e.g., Corrine Brown) regularly operate. She's still at the Elizabeth Warren level, crazy, but only Great Aunt Ida crazy.

Very likely, Gog.
Call it a hunch, but I suspect that at least half of anti-choicers would be happy to ignore any first-month abortions IF those abortions did not require a doctor's help in any way.
Why do I say that? Because I don't remember hearing anything about attempts to ban abortifacient herbs from being sold in, say, natural health stores. So if there HAVE been such bans, there likely haven't been very many.
Not that those herbs can always be counted on, of course. Also, while tea brewed from certain herbs are generally safe, taking oils internally can be deadly.
So, all cops are heros right?
