I got to have an extra thrill today while riding in the elevator in my building. I'm on the 17th floor, going down and as it nears 14 it suddenly drops one floor to the 12th(no 13th), then the brakes caught and it came to a quick stop and then a little bounce. After I stopped peeing myself I realized now I'm stuck. So pushed the button to go back up hoping that might work before I hit the emergency button( I got stuck in there once for like 30 minutes and had to be rescued by the FDNY, no fun.) It started moving normally and took me to the lobby. They had literally just finished working on it, apparently I was not the only one to experience that, it happened to a neighbor and the doorman said that guy about had a heart attack he was so freaked out. Supposedly they have it fixed now.

I'm a hard disagree with the people who say that the right wing is "increasingly leaning fascist".

Look, they are all the way fascist. And to the extent that they're "increasingly" anything... is this weekend's vermin extermination rhetoric really any worse than the "enemy of the state" rhetoric that started 7.5 years ago?

When the mainstream media uses "increasing leaning X" (whether it's "fascist" or "violent" or whatever), what I hear is, "NO ONE COULD HAVE FORESEEN THIS. DO NOT BLAME US. SERIOUSLY WE SWEAR THAT IT WASN'T THIS BAD 24 HOURS AGO. WHO DO YOU THINK WE ARE, SOLOMON THE WISE?"
