Scott Adams is way past listening to any critical feedback. He lives in in his own self-righteous "logical" world. I'm ashamed that I used to like him. Now, he's like Bill Cosby.

People who are asshats doing asshatted things for consumption by asshats. Nothing to see here. 

Why not make a buck or two?

Yea seems to be a lot of that going on today.  I think people should stop being angry.  You may laugh at such a seemingly idiotic statement, but we have complete control of our destiny and the world in which we live in as individuals.  There are many places in the world where this is not so.

in my news feed (npr i think) i heard that someone shouted "why are you doing this?"

he answered "i'm mad/angry"

A shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival. All of these shootings are nonsensical by definition but this one is really hard to figure out any sort of logic. 
 
 
I mean, I get it if you really don't like garlic ice cream but they have chocolate. #toosoon

Good to hear. I was sitting up in bed early this morning, reading. Lights went out and then i heard a distant BOOM.

Found out later that a bird landed where it shouldn't have and got fried, shorting the transformer. The short ran, oh, about 1/4 mile down the road and did more damage.

8:21 this evening; Another shaker. They’re calling this newest Ridgecrest quake a 7.1 and the 6.4 from yesterday is now a foreshock rather than an earthquake. We definitely felt this one here in Santa Barbara!
