Here's your flash forward to mid-November 2020, when we're wondering if the bruising primary fight between Oprah and Mark Zuckerberg got Trump reelected, or whether The Rock's third-party run split the electorate.

It was a weird shitshow. Feds slow to act, local government slow to ask.

I talked to a 68 year old family friend who'd ridden out every storm since childhood. "Never again" was his mantra after Katrina. Also it killed a couple family members. At least they'd lived a full life.

E: Aside from some weird police murders including the infamous bridge and one off events , the idea of firefights in the streets was massively overblown.

I spent some time doing reconstruction work in the Lower Ninth Ward in 2008, three years after the hurricane.

Every person I talked to who had been there during Katrina had a hosed-up story. One guy I talked to almost drowned in his mother's attic, but found a hatchet and chopped his way out through the roof.

A white guy who lived near the Lower Ninth had a humvee's .50 and several M-16s trained on him outside of his own home because the guardsmen thought he was a looter because he wasn't black.

More than a few people told me that more than a few deaths that got attributed to the flooding were actually people settling old neighborhood scores. The cops weren't going to spend a lot of time trying to figure out why this set of semi-skeletal remains found in the overgrown thicket that used to be a house's foundation had an entry wound in the skull or marks on the ribs from a knife.

One of the things that really delayed NOLA's recovery was contractor fraud. People would get the insurance payout to rebuild or remodel their homes and hire a contractor, only to have them disappear the second they got any money, or disappear in that 15 minute window after they got paid and before their shoddy work completely fell apart. Some of the homes that I worked on were on their second, or even third, reconstruction.

Katrina was really an eye opener for me in terms of learning how lovely (most, but not all) humans are to each other when the chips are down, and the very real limits of what the state and federal government can and will do.

That said, breaking into the abandoned Six Flags on the city's outskirts and running around at night was pretty cool.

That was a loving fascinating read. It's something to go back and read first hand accounts when people thought that the storm wasn't terrible, and were completely oblivious to the hell that was taking place in the Ninth.

Because gently caress both of them.

Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead were cool and good movies, but the genre gets pretty weird and crappy after that. Notable exceptions: Lucio Fulci's Zombi (where a zombie fights a shark under water, no joke) and Return of the Living Dead.

Kinda NSFW for 70s scuba boobs

Apparently the shark was fed horse meat full of tranquilizers before that scene, and the zombie is the shark's wrangler.

At this point I really think Putin and the Intel community are, in their warped way, teaming up to Eiffel Tower Trump. Article says it was intercepted when Kislyak talked about it with other Russian officials. I don't for a single, solitary nanosecond believe he wouldn't have known that every last word of that conversation would have been recorded and that's not the kind of thing that would be done without permission.

I had the same impression. Obviously Trump is balls deep with Russian involvement in his finances and campaign, but I think their primary objective was at minimum to undermine our confidence in our elections and institutions. Kislyak had to have known. His communications were being analyzed, and having him on intercept talking about Sessions' intense need to see the Piss Tape or whatever just adds more to that narrative even if that's not exactly what transpired.

I'd trade all of those things if it meant that I could help divorce gun ownership from this cancerous racist and far-right culture that the NRA advances. I have a lot of liberal friends who love shooting ARs and handguns but keep it on the DL because they don't want to get lumped in with the clowns that the NRA represents.

Gun culture is pretty hosed up and weird, and I don't think that my manhood or my identity or anyone else's should be hung up on my ability to put rounds through paper or whether or not I CCW.

Internet gore chat is preferable to this.

The first time I got scarred by the Internet was in high school, encountering something on rotten.com of a blonde woman who had clearly been dead for a few days, and decomposition was setting in. It really freaked me out.
