Things Are Getting Dangerous
We're sitting on a powder keg.
Louisville police closed streets and set up barricades to help separate members of the NFAC (Not F***ing Around Coalition), an Atlanta-based Black militia, from those of far-right "Three Percenter" militia groups vowing to show up in response.
At least 100 NFAC members lined up in a park a few blocks from downtown before marching to a protest where Black Lives Matter activists and the Three Percenters were being separated by a police barricade of about 40 officers in riot gear.

I Have No Words
Wow.
A New Jersey woman who hopes to become the fattest woman in the world got 30,000 calories closer to her 1,000lb goal with a festive feast that could have fed dozens of revellers.
46-stone Donna Simpson, sitting in a reinforced metal chair, chowed down on the world's biggest Christmas dinner as she ate for two straight hours on Saturday.
The single mother-of-two tucked into two 25lb turkeys, two maple-glazed hams, 15lbs of potatoes (10lbs roast, 5lbs mashed), five loaves of bread, five pounds of herb stuffing, four pints of gravy, four pints of cranberry dressing and an astonishing 20lbs of vegetables.
After polishing off her enormous main course, she still had room for dessert and ate a 'salad' made of marshmallow, cream cheese, whipped cream and cookies.
Sorta hoping this is an Onion piece, but it ain't. I guess its good to have goals, but sheesh!

The End Of Journalism
WAPO actually devotes ink to where fictional characters from a light entertainment movie made a quarter of a century ago are today. And people wonder why newspapers are dying.
