Someone post that letter to Jan Brewer about building a huge pile of old tires and letting it get infested with snakes and mosquitos.

I was just thinking how beautiful it would be after a while when wildlife infested the razor wire mountain. The whole thing taking on a coppery rust color. Desert foxes with little burrows into it at the bottom, owls roosting at the upper levels. Mesquite poking through the edges.

yeah I mean we have network news but that's just been "who got murdered and who got kittens today: the show" since the 90s

My town had, until 2010 (?) or so, an independent cable company owned in part by the newspaper, but that was bought up by Knology when the paper started having troubles, and now its WOW! Cable- went from being so-so but with really great local customer service to horrible with cust serv line quality that makes me wonder if I'm calling 1946

Most local newspapers are already dead or dying; ours is being run by a skeleton crew of one on-the-scene tweeter, a sexist liberal columnist who is a nice guy but whose "Town Talk" column reads like Garrison Keillor without the edge (I know), and a handful of staffers posting AP/Reuters columns and judiciously avoiding avoiding talking at all about rape issues we've been having at the university for the last two, three, fifty years.

we have local cable channel 6, but that is one pretty good late night talk show that they're slowly trying to kill, a show called Jayni's Kitchen which is exactly what you think it is, and twenty hours of TowerCam with the weather

it bad

drat.

ICE is the enforcement wing of the Trump administration - they're heavily armed, they now have full jurisdiction over 70% of the country's population (including nearly all of the blue areas), and they're staffed by quarter-witted sociopaths chomping at the bit to brutalize anyone they can with or without explicit instruction. Bannon doesn't need assassins when militarized pseudo-police will do.

why would they not expect the pool of people who tend to have the same job for multiple administrations would not be friendly with each other? Like, there's no competing when you're all covering the exact same thing in the exact same place at the exact same moment. No one's gonna scoop the other guys by writing their hot take 2 minutes first.
