Good morning, Newdists.
I’m writing this kinda late at night [very very early Friday] and so am going to do a fast and simple one.
Please grab a cuppa and a treat.
All are welcome to join the fun, the silliness, the conversations. If you don’t know...just ask! Some things really do require a bit of explanation.
There will be a few surprises along the way, all good ones, we hope.
We are here to keep building the Daily Kos Community.
We post Mon-Sun at 10:30 a.m. Eastern.
Pie fights will be met with outrageous ridicule and insults. Trolls will be incinerated and served at the next group BBQ. As briquettes.

For the haunted house venture, one can rent a car from the organization itself and no license is required to be a participant-audience. Of course it could not be the usual haunted house adventure with a lot of screaming and such because of COVID and droplets spraying because of screaming. So it had to a different kind of haunted house —
But at a time when exhalation is discouraged because of the Covid-19 pandemic, a Japanese company has created an attraction that follows social distancing guidelines yet remains absolutely terrifying -- a drive-in haunted house. ✂️
"When I read that drive-through theaters were making a comeback, it was my 'aha' moment."
Stuck in a pitch-black, zombie-infested garage
The haunted house drive-in, located in a covered parking garage in a non-descript building in downtown Tokyo, gives visitors a 360-degree, front-row experience that simulates being stuck in a car during a zombie outbreak.
Visitors turn off the engine and the garage shutter closes, plunging the vehicle into total darkness.
Drivers receive a set of Bluetooth speakers and the spooky tale begins.
"Around these parts, there's a legend that the ghosts attack humans. Honk your horn three times if you want to hear more," says the voice from the speaker, in Japanese.
For the next 17 minutes, blood-soaked ghouls and zombies press up against the windows and rock the car.
