You can probably trace the need for concentration camps back to the Thirty Years War, when the practice of releasing POWs without ransom at the end of the conflict became enshrined in the treaty language. Prior to that prisoners were often killed, enslaved, and/or held for ransom. Anyway, concentration camps (and refugee camps) are really a logistical necessity.

The big question for me is whether commercial space exploration will have access to nuclear energy.

Every President does this, and they often contain a few controversial picks. Steve Bannon, for example. Technically, he's just releasing his own swamp monsters back into the wild. What I would like to see is a way for Congress to override a pardon.

Funny how McConnell is being more assertive now about Trump. If the Republican congress critters had show more backbone in December, the sack of the Capitol building might never have happened.

Wasn't Hitler an artist and an author? Yeah, humanities. 😛 I suppose I just satisfied Godwin's Law. Hurrah.

My understanding was the naming was intentional to get more vikings to settle in Greenland. False advertising: some things never change...

Didn't we already go through an iconoclasm last year?

I wonder if we are about to go through a far right scare that is akin to the red scare of the 1950s? They're worried about an inside threat among the national guard troops now.

Well it certainly does work well with certain puns, so there's that. Right now it's just kraken me up.

It's enough to make my eyes moisten. 😭

In the end a pretty good game. Hopefully Mahomes is okay, although a concussion could keep him out.

Except... his reputation is as a bad actor on both sides. Just more misdirection by Fux noise.

Music producer Phil Spector of COVID-19 He caught it while serving time in prison for 2nd degree murder. https://www.tmz.com/2021/01/17/phil-spector-dead-dies-81/ Not sure how to feel about that.

Apparently Seattle is getting an NHL team. I've never really followed the sport before so I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Did they change the taunting rule in the NFL? Because it sure seemed like there was a lot of that this year.

Easy access to student loans is what's wrong. It creates a positive feedback loop that endlessly inflates the cost of college. Maybe they need to provide free (or cheap) community college, then require high marks from there to attend a university?

I thought they were saying Aaron Rogers was washed up? Heh.

^ He should go up to the guy and ask: "Pardon me, have you seen my screwdriver?"

Well it's certainly happening in Seattle, albeit at a slower pace because of the pandemic. For example: https://www.kuow.org/stories/who-faces-criminal-charges-related-to-seattle-area-protests-here-s-a-roundup

I'm thinking at this point that whether Trump pardons the ape-men rioters or not, or even himself, will go a long way toward determining the outcome of the impeachment. A pardon will have to come in the next few days; the Senate trial will likely follow.
