I enjoy these places. We only have chains up this way but the local joints in Vegas were varied and interesting.

Shooting-Desert or sea, no obstacle too big for Solomon
Genuinely, some of the best parts of the Olympics are the backstories of the competitors.
Luna Solomon is an amazing example.
Why There’s A Suspicious ‘Cheese Product’ Label On American Cheese
What is actually in your cheese-like product? Hint: don’t worry, it’s pretty much food with some coloring.
NY Times Makes Incredible Retraction Involving Kamala Harris Polling — And A Bowl Of Chili With A Severed Finger In It?
If you were still under the mistaken illusion that you should take anything the New York Times says seriously, read this.
When they aren’t purposely peddling lies and liars, they are doing the bidding of fraudsters even by accident.
Why do tourists behave badly on holiday?
This is apparently an increasingly annoying and destructive problem, and unfortunately, Americans are a lot of the issue. No surprise there.

The next generation of firefighters learned how to fight fires while in prison
NPR covers the changing face of wildfire fires out in the West. It involves folks who were in the California penal system who volunteered (for the low, low price at $5 a day when not in the field)
Smithsonian covered the program a bit ago.
Transitioning from useful inmate to professional firefighter isn’t easy though. A former inmate is trying to make that easier.
Why Republicans Are Patching Their Ears
They really *are* this fucking stupid.
And no, I snuck into a Klan rally when I was 14. I have no need to watch the RNC. Been there, done that, saw the cross burning.
Twenty years ago the same filth – or their parents at least – all sported fake Purple Heart band-aids to mock John Kerry during the lying Swift Boat idjuts era. Because Republicans have been absolute shits for far longer than most of us want to think about our friends, family, and neighbors. I mean, there are other examples but this one seems about the same level of performative bullshit.

Nevada Firebrand Michele Fiore Indicted On Wire Fraud Charges
Human waste Michele Fiore, who I remember from her shenanigans as a gun-toting loon way back when we lived in Vegas, is being charged with stealing $70,000 from a fallen officer’s charity.
First, she’s been bad news for a LONG time. Second, she’s a judge. You know, from that stench-ridden pile of candidates Trump gets his federal judges from.
So, yeah, this *might* be a comeuppance, but probably not. She’ll likely end up on the Supreme Court given how high the shit floats these days.
And stealing from dead cops? Yeah, the insurrectionists will easily forgive her. I mean, they’ve been supporting a child rapist for years. This is so small potatoes.
