If he does nothing but make stupid commercials while the professionals handle things, he'll probably be ok. Don't worry about him doing well now even if he does he'll find another penny to stick in the light socket.

Nine inches of rain is quite a lot if you're in the lower part of the city. That place right there will get hosed up by anything more. Even the richer parts that are higher up are going to get hosed up if it rains too much.

It really is going to be like Katrina again.

We had some terrible flooding in my part of Wisconsin in the summer of '08 and that was with far less rain than is predicted in the worse areas, and spread out over a longer time.

I hope to never be anywhere near flooding like that. Good lord.

I posted about how TSwift is coasting on racism, is probably a Trump supporter like her dad, and is completely stealing from Kanye and (goddamn, goddamn, GODDAMN*) Beyonce while trying to paint herself as the victim for being outed as a drat liar. The goddamn album is being released on the anniversary of his mother's death.

While we're on the topic of music, it would be a horrible idea to live in a city built on rock 'n roll. Rock 'n roll is not a stable foundation to build anything and every structure in that city had to be horribly unstable and dangerous.

It's environmentally friendly to build a city on rock and roll, it ain't noise pollution.

That has nothing to do with Taylor coasting on racism and using it to her advantage as well being so drat white and fragile she needs to steal his merch themes, call out his stage show, and release an entire album about how she is a victim of the mean black man while aping her entire aesthetic from those same black people she is claiming victimized her.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.




I've flown before, and the earth can look pretty unreal between 5,000-15,000 feet. You're just not used to seeing things from that perspective at that scale.

The perspective from the ISS is so much wilder. I don't know if I could be there, looking at that storm like that, and not just suddenly have something in my brain snap like "OH MY GOD WHERE THE HELL AM I AHHHHHHHHHH". Cool poo poo.

That's more or less what I said earlier, and it's actually a real possibility that if FEMA has major successes with this storm, he will decry those successes as failures and blame them on somebody.

most of his loving up is already locked in through his appointments to FEMA/DHS but he could also fail to push through post storm cleanup measures like declaring a disaster area and failing to put pressure on relief funding like what happened in north carolina earlier this year
