“Fuck this guy”

There is a mood for this album.
It’s songwriting with a capital-S.

I've never really listened to Cohen. But from what I have heard, I gotta agree.

Oh, is fun allowed in this band? I didn’t know. I don’t even hate downer shit. I’m a huge Nick Drake and John Martyn fan—any of those sad fuckers. But for some reason, Leonard Cohen seems like the guy at a party who just talks about his shit to you to the point where you’re like, “I don’t know, man. I just want to grab another beer. I don’t want to talk about the socio-political state of the world.

On Wednesday, DC law student Amy Currotto announced to the world in a Facebook post, "BERNIE SANDERS I KID YOU NOT STOPPED ME FROM GETTING HIT BY A CAR ON MY WAY TO MY GUITAR LESSON." Her alleged near-death experience and subsequent selfie with the Vermont senator quickly went viral, and like a lot of people, we here at VICE had about 200 questions: Did he vault over a moving car, dodging traffic at superhuman speed to whisk her away from danger? Did he throw himself in front of her, raising a single palm to some bus driver inches away from mowing her down? Could he have sprinted out into the street, scooped her into his arms, and carried her to safety, Spiderman-style?

Now can we be done with this fuggin guy?

Another day I wake up, feed the cats, flip on the internet and am disappointed to see that Trump hasn't died overnight.

This is every morning.

I used to have a coffee mug with just the bottom-left panel on it. But the image wore off and I was left with a blank white mug - story of my life.

Another story about Kavanaugh sexually assaulting someone has been published.

There's a strange calculation here:

The more K becomes tainted, the more the GOP will turn off voters, which increases the risk that they will lose the Senate, which increases the pressure to get K seated before they lose the chance to seat anyone, which makes them look even worse, which increases the chance they'll lose the Senate. GOTO 10.

Their alternative is to not vote on him, risk their base staying home, but possibly lessen the retaliatory vote, and maybe retaining the Senate to give them another chance to seat someone else after the election.

I think they'll keep the Senate.

But I hope they're losing sleep trying to game this shit out.

This is a Facebook link, so I don't know if it's going to work for you or not. But, if you want to see why US 421 is shutdown north of Wilmington NC, take a look at this video.

The N.C. Department [of] Agriculture and Consumer Services said Tuesday that so far 3.4 million chickens and turkeys have been killed by Florence, and 5,500 hogs have perished since the storm deluged the state.

A self-published romance writer accused of killing her husband has pleaded not guilty. CBS affiliate KOIN-TV reports that Nancy Crampton-Brophy, 68, was arraigned Monday. Crampton Brophy once penned an essay titled "How to Murder Your Husband."

It's been raining steadily since Friday. And we had more than two inches of rain just between 6 and 7AM today.

This fucking storm won't go away.
