Word on the street (the Cameron Station newsletter), is that Indochen in Cameron Station is closing. Christmas Eve is their last day. Big loss for the West End.

Oh shit. February 19th, 2027. I know what I'm doing for my 50th birthday.

Well, this sucks. But it could have sucked a lot more. I guess this is the least suckiest of all possible outcomes.

I LOLed

Everyday I think, "well, I'm sure we've seen the worst of it," and everyday I'm surprised by how wrong I am. Just absolute gutter racism.

Unless this means a "rule-out" MRI. But if you say that, that means there are symptoms of something that needed to be ruled-out. Then you have to explain the symptoms, because that's a whole other can of worms.

Hard to watch Stranger Things knowing that older sister Nancy is played by a 30-year old. The actors who play the boys are 23-24 yrs old. And thanks to HD, they all look their ages.

Wilco (10x) New Pornographers (4x) Ted Leo and the Pharmacists (3x) Spoon (3x) The Old 97s (3x)

And yes, I did read the excerpts that have been posted. It's impossible not to.

I'm so tired of this Olivia Nuzzi/Ryan Lizza drama. They both need to just walk into the sea and be done with it.

Found this on Reddit, and then found an article in Newsweek and clicked through to Truth posting. I don't get it. It shows video of a duck, some leaves, and then the reflecting pool being cleaned. What's this crazy MF going to do to the Reflecting Pool? www.newsweek.com/trump-reveal...

How can there be this many scandals in one day? 1). Witkoff's call with Russia, 2). FBI investigation of Dems for reminding soldiers to refuse illegal orders, 3). Trump's Bolsonaro jail-break, 4). DOJ and Congress-members tweeting about the Jan 6 pipebomber, but the suspect clearing her name.

So, a senior Justice Department official — along with several members of Congress — used the authority of their offices to boost an obviously dubious conspiracy theory accusing a federal employee of a horrific crime. And now it’s clear the allegation was baseless. www.cbsnews.com/news/jan-6-p...

Really should probably be a bigger story that Trump tried to break Bolsonaro out of prison (house arrest) and smuggle him to the U.S. through the Embassy.

Go ahead, dress like a slob on the plane. I don't care. If you're offended by what I wear on a plane, that's a you problem, not a me problem. If I'm going to be cramped in a metal virus-tube, I'm going to be comfortable. Just don't take both arm rests, and stop kicking the back of my seat.

Holy smokes. I finished my 100th book of the year today. Should finish 101 by this evening.

Does this mean Barack Obama really could've brought back "Firefly?"

Lots of posts about Thanksgiving food. But I'm the only one brave enough to say it: Green Bean Casserole is awful and should be banned. It's a nasty, soggy mess and doesn't belong in the same universe as the rest of the dishes. The only good part is eating fried onions out of the can.

Every morning I wake up hoping to see a specific story in the news. And every morning, instead, it's Olivia Nuzzi.

Not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I'd have preferred Nancy Mace.

Achieved one of my lifetime dreams last night. I purchased a piece of original comic art at auction. I now own a real original painted piece by Dave Dorman. I am giddy.

I had a visitor. This young fellow landed outside my office window and decided to stay for a little bit. I got to watch without even leaving my chair.

The perfect album from the year I turned 16 (1993):

Fuck this guy. Fuck him so much. With a rusty garden hoe.

Finally saw Weapons." Was I supposed to laugh that hard at the ending?

Sub guy is a hero.

Women: They Sure Love To Shop. But How Do They Get To The Stores If They Can't Drive? A Mystery Unraveled. The NYTimes, probably at some point.

The Russian refrigerator repairmen were not happy about the bottle of Grey Goose in the freezer.

Hope no one plans to fly for the holidays.

U.S. TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY EXPECTED TO ANNOUNCE 10% CUT OF SCHEDULED CAPACITY AT 40 MAJOR HIGH TRAFFIC AIRPORTS STARTING FRIDAY -- SOURCES

Is Alan Dershowitz still alive? Has he booked time on TV yet?

They're trying to relocate the Ben Brenman Beaver. By they, so far that means people on The Cameron Station Facebook page. Anyone able to say whether or not the City is in agreement on this?

Call that Guzman/Lovejoy race already. I want to celebrate that one. Oh, and the Franklin/Obenshain race. Those two. Please call them.

Abigail Spanberger better not own any fleece vests.

"Tusk" is such a weird album. Not because the songs are weird. But it's clearly 3 solo albums smashed into 1. All the songs are great, but the pacing is way off. All of Lindsey's songs are frantic, and Stevie and Christine's are almost plodding. It's high to low over and over again. It's whiplash.

Just a reminder, you do not "gotta hand it" to Dick Cheney.

Listening to a biography of Fleetwood Mac, and I've realized that it's a minor miracle that "Rumours" even exists. That its a perfect album is even more of a shock.

Wow. My car speakers really are awful. I'm so sorry to have done that to you, Ms. Nicks.

For you Waxahatchee fans, here's a treat. Happy Halloween. snocaps.bandcamp.com/album/snocaps

Change one letter, ruin a candy Cummy Bears *I'm sorry.

My daily work puts me in touch with a lot of food banks. I've just been informed that one of the larger ones in Fairfax County, VA is closed for lack of funding. This is before SNAP stops next week. If you have the ability, please give to one or more of your local food banks. They need the help.

Holy fuck! What a revelation! They've blown this thing wide-open.

The Soderbergh "Star Wars" movie didn't get greenlit because Disney couldn't understand how Ben Skywalker could still be alive. This from the team that gave us "Somehow, Palpatine returned." C'mon guys. You didn't even try to explain that. Give me Soderbergh "Star Wars."

It's 2025. Why do graham cracker packages still suck so much?

Manufactured Outrage? Manufactured outrage was what happened when people got twisted out of shape because Obama removed a bust (or did he??) of Winston Churchill from the Oval. This is wanton destruction of a national landmark.

Why would the military be involved in building a ballroom?

Tired: Genocide is bad. Wired: The guy who got a symbol of genocide tattooed to his body also likes Medicare For All, and we should give him a chance.

Yet another example of what I mean when I say "the debt is fake." Republicans will use "the debt" as a justification to cut SNAP, Medicaid, or any other program that actually helps someone. But none of them will complain when this payment goes through. Not a single one.

Personally, I'd prefer candidates without huge Nazi chest tattoos. I think it's a pretty low hurdle to clear.

I think I love the inflatable costumes at protests thing.
