When it's winter I can get a paperback book in my heavier coat's pockets, does that count?

Edit: It is currently -38 after wind chill and I wish I hadn't bothered to check.

Disbanding or neutering the Basij is a good first step, followed by the horrible realization that there was a worse monster waiting for an opening.

At least the wind has died down around the great lakes so it will stop making GBS threads snow on everything around them. :shobon:

Had a bunch of old boomers today repeating Trump's "If its global warming why so cold?" at me. It was fun to mention that pretty much everywhere else on the planet other than North America is way above normal temperatures if only to wait for the reaction when that began to sink in.

The Southwest is the only place spared right now and everyone is kind of grateful but also kind of freaked out that we aren't getting winter yet. Like yeah it's cool that it was 78 degrees today but it kind of illuminates the fact that poo poo is totally hosed and our desert cities might be drought stricken scorchscapes much sooner than we thought.

I hope Iran gets a real Democracy it's a kick-rear end country full of fine men and women and would make a much better ally in the middle east than loving SA or Israel.

Depends on if you include Colorado as part of the southwest, tbh. We're getting some serious cold here, too.

I turned on my TV, and it happened to be on the science channel, which is currently airing the apparently traditional Mythbusters marathon. The first thing I saw was a commercial for Trumpy Bear:

There's a zipper in its back that lets you access the torso stuffing: an American flag.

I thought I was having a stroke. I'm still not convinced I'm not. I've been downing margaritas all night and I can't find my pants but I'd like some confirmation that the world has reached a point where this nightmare aired on actual television.

it smacks so hard of the tim and eric cinco aesthetic that i can only assume the production company who made the commercial did so deliberately as a protest while still getting paid for the job

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 too had mythbusters on in the background.

I too wasn't sure through 80% of the commercial if it was satire written by a genius or earnest pablum written by a madman.
