Next, DC is going be renamed “District of Cabernet”

I almost didn’t survive. The human brain isn’t designed to sleep with temps over 90F.

My AC gave up the ghost 5 weeks ago.

I’m watching Happy Gilmore 2 as the crew installs a new one.

Chatting with a buddy of mine this morning. He is looking at stuff he did in his life. He went to see the play, Annie, when he was a kid.

“They wouldn’t do Annie today, it’s too woke” I said. Then, it dawned on me. "I’m wrong. Annie would be totally fine.

Short review: 'An orphaned girl is bought by a billionaire real estate magnate and groomed at a luxury resort," would fit right in with the morals of a political party

Remember when the Catholic Church tried to protect abusive priests?

Now we have the Republican party protecting pedophiles.

Damn… this is awful. It’s great if you’re visiting from the UK or the EU countries - but with Trump’s Gestapo running crazy and Tom Holman threatening all tourists who would want to visit? Effing horrible

I drink pickle juice regularly, after exercise and after mowing. Good way to eliminate cramps.

Where does World War Fast and Furious go?

As a Kentucky resident, having Andy as governor is about the only good thing happening in this state.

KYGOP has a veto-proof majority which they have used often to overturn Andy’s veto. The Republicans in the state are the same as everywhere else, unfortunately.

I have learned from direct contact our legislators don’t really do homework on issues. No surprise. They basically work off ‘word of mouth’ and confirmation bias and news clippings to decide how they think.

Anecdote: the legislature passed an anti-tenure bill last week. The bill was sponsored by a rep whose son was upset his professor had stale notes. The rep decided to create a bill to mandate all public state unis evaluate all faculty every 4 years. This is a good idea. However, all state unis already perform YEARLY performance evaluations even after tenure. Most, if not all of the reps, had never even bothered to checked current university policies; “I never really thought to check. I just assumed since Rep X wrote legislation to mandate evaluations there were no evaluations.” And then there was testimony to confirm in fact evals exist. And yet it made no difference even after evidence was presented evals exist.

Andy vetoed the tenure review bill but it will probably be overturned. The bill gives every uni board the power to remove the president and any faculty person, with cause. No criteria for cause, really, so it is possible cause could be “The faculty member made comments at a workshop about DEI which are not compatible with the university mission and thus the university has separated itself from the individual” which is their way of saying “fired.”

Great governor who vetoed Conversion Therapy and anti-DEI and tenure review. Conversion Therapy was overturned by the Republicans. We’ll see about the other two by Friday.

In his deal with Putin, Trump is closing the investigations into child trafficking and kidnapping of Ukrainian children, and closing down war crimes committed by Russian military.

I agree, Trump advocating for invading Canada and Greenland is enough for the 25th Amendment and on moral grounds I hold him accountable for absolving Putin and Russia of war crimes.

He is also high as fuck at this event, dragging of his kids around.
