Crisis averted. It's a fire alarm upstairs, in one of the bedrooms. Much lower ceilings.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Ugh Dana, that's annoying. The first time the smoke detector went off in the one room in my house I realized the same thing and ended up going to Home Depot and purchasing a ladder (luckily it was daytime). That's been the only thing I've used the ladder for. It lives in my garage. What a waste.

Our wings are not tired.
DOJ has a man from Florida in custody for the bombings.
Of course, Florida. At least some parts of our government function. The post office and a bunch of law enforcement agencies have done very well with this mess.

EDIT: Now they're saying he's arrested.
Sounds like we now know who's going to be the first recipient of a Presidential Medal of Freedom from the current administration.

What is even happening?
Not just Florida, y'all -- Plantation, Florida, because in the Trump-Is-POTUS AU, nothing is too on the nose.
And have you seen the suspect's van?

I was hoping that it would have Trump and Putin airbrushed on the side, but this is pretty good, too.

Top Youth Soccer Recruits for Trump? That's...oddly specific.
Also, those stickers seem so over the top that, back in 2016, I would have said surely they're either a parody, or someone trying way too hard to frame a Trump supporter and failing because they went over the top. But since this is the darkest possible timeline, those fucking stickers look about right for the unhinged people who support Trump. (And, apparently, their kids who play soccer.)

There's a van that parks in front of a house I drive past on my way home that outdoes that. Full-vehicle wrap proclaiming the glory of Trump, beams of glory, rippling flags, that orange face, and on the back door there's a picture of Trump and Milana that would do well on a flag in a Soviet May Day Parade.
I like my car too much to sideswipe it.

Yeah, the whole thing would have been way too OTT on Earth-that-Was.
