Aggregating some information in this comment based on what I’ve read throughout the internet.

1. Authorities have identified the vehicle of the one in Oregon (and likely Washington) and probably know who’s behind it at this point. AP News
2. Authorities have arrested the person responsible for the ballot fires in Phoenix ABC Phoenix
3. There was a conversation on Truth Social from a user named Elwoodblues50 that suggested doing just this. I have no idea how coordinated it was, but it definitely sounds like something that has been going around right wing circles for a bit. sorry Reddit link
4. These ballot boxes have measures to protect the ballots in the case of fire. One of the ballot boxes had up to 100 ballots destroyed, the others were in the single digits.
5. Oregon and Washington both have websites that allow you to check the status of your ballot. If you know anyone in who may have been impacted by this, have them check the websites and request a new ballot if theirs wasn’t accepted. Oregon. Washington

I call the washed one bitey

In a similar punk/pop-punk vein, I saw The Matches are doing a few reunion shows and found myself diving headfirst into their 3 albums again. I’ve always thoroughly enjoyed them.

Bob Newhart, everybody!

Once you can lift over 100, you reach enlightenment and never miss the hole.

Cause when you reach over and put your hand into a pile of goo that was your best friend’s face, you’ll know what to do! Forget it, Marge, it’s Chinatown!

Sigh. The ol “We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.”

So maybe you’d be a good person to ask who wrote The Moon Rules #1 on my car with a key.

That filthy superhero made the orange juice you’re drinking

This tickles a VERY specific part of my brain.

A week or so ago I had just finished a tough workout at my big box gym and was heading back to my car around sunrise. I looked up and saw the most beautiful and massive pink and purple ripples stretched out from the edge of the horizon to where I was standing. It was so impressive that I had to stop a moment in the middle of the parking lot and soak it in. Then, within 2 minutes, the clouds had shifted and everything returned to a depressing gray.

Beauty like this is everywhere, but it sure can be fleeting.

So I guess buying a water filter for my tap at home isn’t going to save me.
