What everyone is skipping is that societies and cultures have LONG had a script for how to handle people who would upend the system by opting out of/doing an end-around on the rule of law. It's a very simple script. It has been written in blood, time and time again.
The rule of law is, ultimately, ill-equipped to handle bad actors with sufficient power who simply say "naaah, don't think I'm gonna buy into that 'follow the law' shit." That means that the players have opted out of the rule of law, and the solutions it can impose. That's okay. That opt-out simply means an opt-in to the alternative system.
Here is how THAT system works:
That simple, binary choice: if you opt out of the rule of law, then you have necessarily opted in to rule of the gun, is the very fucking thing that many of us (ledge dwellers) have been sounding the alarm about for pushing 10 years now. That's the entire point. We're busy arguing whether the penalty should be clipping or unsportsmanlike conduct on the dude who just pulled a gun on the field and shot the opposing RB. The system of rules and yellow flags and 15 yard penalties is not equipped to handle a LB who pulls a gun and shoots opposing players. The only system that is equipped to handle that is a system of "meet lawlessness with lawlessness." Which is, again, why much of our alarmist shouting has been at the fucking GQP voters who are CHOOSING this. "Please don't choose this path, this is how it fucking ends, every fucking time!" has fallen on deaf ears. We apparently are intent on fully FA, so we can fully FO.
You and your Esso station fascination.
Hey, that would make a great band name... Esso Station Fascination. Can't decide if it should be an emo goth punk band or an edm dark wave rave DJ.

Say what you will....but I bet the spread they put out at that fake holiday party was fucking DELICIOUS.
Better than anything Trump put out at the White House.

I think if you view Buck and Bucky through Tarantino's Top Gun Maverick/Ice Man lens it makes a lot more sense.

Ugh, they're evacuating to Fritch. Which was nailed by all of this earlier. It just sucks.

What's more American than using a stolen credit card to buy roller grill food from a truck stop at 3am?
It could only have been more American if he'd gone back out to the parking lot to continue his job as a lot lizard like his mom.

900,000 acres puts it as the #4 size wildfire by acres burned in U.S. history. Am guessing it has a strong chance to pass #2, the 2020 August Complex fire in CA that burned 1,032,648 acres. #1 is the 1825 Miramichi Fire that burned 3 million acres.
I would never have guessed that the largest forest fire in North America was in northern New Brunswick almost 200 years ago.

Yup, looking like this will be the largest wildfire in this states history, by far
So far.
I know quite a few people out in that area. Most of them are in Amarillo proper but a few are north near Dumas and Borger. All of them are spooked right now.

I was all prepared to post the Darts scene for Ted Lasso but then "All the dreams, all the hopes for the national championship come down to this play" is, well, the best live call I've ever heard. Keith Jackson is a TV God but Craig Way's radio call was something special.

I'm glad they clarified that. I mean, we all know how often their airport is attacked.
