Gonna be tough attracting cannon fodder w/ that attitude, 'though I s'pose what he's really saying is "No uppity you-know-whats in the officer corps, dadgum it." Did he not have African-Americans playing for him at Alabama? Be interesting to see what sorts of people played which positions there.

Big Prancing Queen

Cassidy Hutchinson writes in her new book that Donald Trump almost never wore a mask during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic because he was worried about his makeup, The Guardian reports.

While visiting a factory, Trump tried a white mask but then asked staffers what they thought.

Writes Hutchinson: “I slowly shook my head. The president pulled the mask off and asked why I thought he should not wear it. I pointed at the straps of the N95 I was holding. When he looked at the straps of his mask, he saw they were covered in bronzer.”

Said Trump: “Why did no one else tell me that. I’m not wearing this thing.”

Deep in his closet, he is the manliest of manly men.

"Warning Shot"

Picard told police he was "scared" when Spaeth appeared to yell at a Jeep that slowed down in front of him, so he reached for the loaded gun he kept in his car and opened fire through the open passenger window when Spaeth's wife appeared to reach into a bag.

Police said that body camera footage from witness interviews don't show any evidence that she had a bag, and Picard admitted he could have just driven around the couple instead of shooting his gun.

Giant Cracks Emerging Across US Southwest, Scientists Warn

The United States has been pumping so much groundwater that the ground is beginning to split open across southwestern parts of the country for miles on end.

These giant cracks, aka fissures, have been spotted in states including Arizona, Utah, and California.

Groundwater is one of the main sources of freshwater on Earth – it provides almost half of all drinking water, and about 40% of global irrigation.

But humans are pumping groundwater faster than Earth can naturally replenish it.

When too much groundwater gets pumped up from the natural aquifers below the surface, it causes the land to sag and create these cracks, Joseph Cook, who researches Earth fissures at the Arizona Geological Survey, told Insider.

The fissures "are not a naturally occurring thing," Cook said. "It's something we've caused to form."

G'wan, use all the water, you fucking morons. It's not as if we need it or anything.

Can't wait for this to happen.[Science Alert]
