Fact Check-‘LOL’ acronym does not endorse Satan
Posts are wrongly saying that the acronym “LOL” stands for “Lucifer Our Lord”, and that those who use it are endorsing Satan.…Priestess Serena Malone, administrator at Church of Satan, told Reuters via email that Satanists are atheists and do not have prayers. “So, it is a hoax,” Malone said.
Glad to have that cleared up.
I hope it works…

“The strike forces announced on June 23 are a separate effort to stem gun violence,” the DOJ spokesperson said. “They will represent a sustained and focused coordination among federal, state, and local law enforcement partners across jurisdictions in significant firearms trafficking corridors.”
The aim is to “disrupt” the flow of guns before they get to Chicago.
… but given the government's track record at "distrupting" the flow of illegal drugs hither and yon, I think I won't bank on this plan just yet.

Methamphetamine in waterways may be turning trout into addicts
In May 2019, researchers in the United Kingdom announced they had found traces of illicit drugs, pharmaceuticals and pesticides in samples of freshwater shrimp.
And in May 2018, scientists working in Puget Sound, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean along the northwest coast of Washington state in the US, said that mussels in the area had tested positive for the prescription opioid oxycodone.

The hometown newspaper here excitedly reported the other day that the local Congresscritter, one Jim McGovern, has inserted into the House version of the government’s pending infrastructure bill $1.8 million for construction—excuse me, design and construction—of a new, one-mile sidewalk in our little burg.
That means, if we could bring said sidewalk in for a mere $1,000/yard we would have $40,000 left over for cigars.
That’s a lot of smoke.
Is it too late to mention this?
