State Achieves Goal Of Having Every Road Under Construction At The Same Time | Babylon Bee
A building near us had a ped bridge from its parking lot to the building across Juniper Street, makes sense.  But they decided to remove it, over the weekend, but didn't finish.  With the road closed, traffic was a nightmare.

For @FearlessF -- we talked earlier (in the climate thread) about how to determine whether a source is trustworthy in the absence of detailed knowledge of a topic. I.e. how to tell if the "experts" are actually experts worth listening to or full of $#!+. 

David Friedman (libertarian economist and the son of Milton Friedman) has a post I just came across on this:

https://daviddfriedman.substack.com/p/who-to-trust

It goes into a little more depth than some of the things @Cincydawg and I talked about in the climate thread. 

Worth a read IMHO.

Letter to the editor: ProPublica’s big story is that Justice Samuel Alito went on the fishing trip and then agreed with six other justices who didn’t go on the fishing trip, forming a 7–1 majority? That isn’t exactly man-bites-dog news.

We like watching Bret Baier on Fox - 6PM. He's not a blowhard at all, gets good/smart/bi-partisan guests and he runs his show like a journalist should. 

Anyway, we've noticed over the past month or so that when that show is over and the next one starts (Watters, for now - we generally don't watch him), Hulu kicks us out of the channel and back to the home screen - roughly 5-10 seconds in. 

Just for kicks and testing, the last few nights I've gone to Fox News when other shows begin, and the same thing happened. 

Fox News is being intentionally shut off by Hulu, I believe. This does not happen on any other channel we look at.

Anyone else have this kind of stuff happen?

I have all sorts of weird stuff happen with Hulu. Their UI is not very good at all, and the service can be buggy sometimes. 

I have not seen this, but I've seen on nearly every program when it switches from one live show to another, it has a 5-10 second buffering pause within the first minute or so where the screen goes black with only a little tiny progress bar in the center. 

So this might just be Hulu being Hulu, not actively trying to mess with Fox News...
