I love this Charlie line: “We have so many pressing problems at home and our leaders are internationally obsessed and they are domestically ignorant.”

Some Americans still understand we’re a people, not an economic zone
A fan-made menu hack called the "Cookie McDouble" is going viral. A Double Cheeseburger (no mustard, ketchup or onions - and hopefully no pickles) with a chocolate chip cookie below the two beef patties.
Someone called it a "masterpiece" after eating it.
Trying one tomorrow.

America lost one in six of its neighborhood bars in a single decade, and the killer was real estate math.
A bar like this can pour $3 beers because the building was paid off decades ago. The owner often lives upstairs. No rent, no investors, no debt service on a Pabst sign that's been hanging there for 40 years.
The moment that building sells, the math dies with it. A new operator inherits a market-rate lease, which forces $9 drinks, which forces a renovation to justify $9 drinks, which produces another exposed-brick cocktail bar where the dive used to be.
The Midwest kept its dive bars because of how they got built in the first place. Before Prohibition, Milwaukee's breweries put up corner taverns themselves. Pabst and Schlitz wanted guaranteed outlets for their beer, so they built bars directly into residential blocks. That's why these places sit on quiet snowy corners between houses instead of on commercial strips where rent explodes.
Chicago had around 3,300 tavern licenses in 1990. It's down to about 1,200. At the worst of the decline, America was losing six neighborhood bars a day.
And every single closure is permanent. You can't build a dive bar. You can only inherit one.

SIBERIAN HUSKY ALLEGEDLY TAKEN HOSTAGE AND KILLED IN WASHINGTON, DC.
Three DMV residents are facing federal charges after prosecutors say they stole a man's Siberian Husky and used the dog as leverage in a dispute over a vehicle.
Federal prosecutors allege Antwon Sockwell, 36, of D.C.; Keith Packer, 35, of Suitland; and Tierra Love, 38, of Suitland threatened the victim and stole his dog.
After the victim refused to turn over the vehicle without getting his dog back, prosecutors allege Packer texted him “anything you wanna say last?”
Minutes later, authorities allege the Husky was shot in the head in a Southeast D.C. alley and killed.
U.S. Attorney @JudgeJeanine says “These defendants terrorized the victim, and took hostage and executed his innocent dog as part of a calculated scheme to extort him.”
The three face federal charges including animal crushing, conspiracy, extortion-related communications and stalking. Sockwell and Packer also face a firearm charge.
Love was arrested today in Virginia. Sockwell and Packer were already in custody.

I might make a trip just to spend multiple hours in this bar... I wish they played bar dice everywhere. Wisconsin is a special place.

There is no greater feeling in the world than trudging through a snowstorm so that you can meet your friends at a shithole bar.
