Let this Lincoln, Nebraska man, doing his best Ricky LaFleur impersonation, be your inspiration for the day. Celebrate your victories, Deadsplinters. No matter how small.
Torry Nielsen of Lincoln claimed a $10 Wild Cherry Crossword Doubler Scratch ticket at our offices and asked if he could have a big check. We were all like, "Oh, heck yea you can." We asked him what he'd be doing with his winnings and he said "Letting it ride". Congrats, Torry! pic.twitter.com/4OxSsbZ8Sy

I got up, made coffee, fed, and walked the dog. Huzzah! How about you?

I bet that idiot is a Trump voter.
Probably, but you know what? Good for him. Life’s too short not to celebrate the little things.
I doubt it, nobody with that sense of humor is a trump supporter.
Fox advertising in the NYT? Sounds desperate!
I can understand Dominion wanting the $ but I hope they demand Fox admits they knew they were lying. But Fox will spin it as just reporting the news and they got it wrong, blah, blah, blah. And the right will claim it as proof there was nothing there.
It sounds like they might settle, which is so disappointing. I’d take them to trial and milk every last second of it because once it’s out of the courts, Fox can spend the next 6 months memory-holing it. I don’t expect their viewers to care, but it should be an object lesson to everyone else about what Fox actually is and does and who they’re working for and just how far you can trust what they say on air.
It should also be a massively painful object lesson for any other organization that engages in systematic defamation. My concern is that the settlement will be secret so nobody knows how much they had to pay. Honestly, Dominion is foolish if they settle. That’s not going to restore their reputation, and they’ve got to sell voting machines in every hick town and hillbilly county still. Without a public disclosure and apology the mouth-breathers are going to refuse to do business with them. They may anyway, but at least you can point to a major apology/retraction during the sales process.
…if they do settle I hope they crow about the payout a bit…& disclose as much as they can that might help the smartmatic case?
Fox is definitely trying to create that impression, but who knows what Dominion is doing, or Fox really.
Dominion doesn’t lose anything by seeing what Fox will offer today. Maybe they massively sweeten the pot, but otherwise if Dominion wanted a deal they would have gotten one a lot sooner before the doc dumps.
Herded the four dogs to work, now herding the humans at work. So far all creatures are calm.
Bill Chiweenie found a cherry tomato on the dining room floor this morning . . . which is eerie, as I haven’t served cherry tomatoes in months. He must have carried it in from outside, but the backyard is fenced, so I have no idea how it appeared. The “win” is that I found it before any of the four hooligans either ate it or nosed it under furniture to rot.
Also – lilac season is here – I think I already said this elsewhere – nut I adore the fresh lilacs on my desk.
You have many small victories this morning! Maybe a bird dropped it in your yard, and Bill’s victory was finding it. 🙂 I love lilacs as well.
I am at the office trying to be productive.
Not too productive though, I have standards.
Recognizing that you don’t need to work yourself to death for a company that only cares about the bottom line is a victory. And not a small one.
…woke up..went to work…discovered my team lead is awol and theres a noob to train
decided my not entirely recovered from the weekend brain was not up to training anyone today
sooo…i told a coworker to do it
and they did! neato! not sure when i got the authority to boss anyone about…..but i guess its a perk that comes with being on the job longer than everyone else in my department..
probably also a perk that comes with me not normally asking anyone to do anything for me…
anyways…feeling right as rain again now 🙂 but ill let my coworker keep training the noob…. shit gets confusing when theres too many trainers as we all have slightly different ways of getting the job done
That was a win for sure. 🙂
Who’s better at Foreign Policy? Donald Trump or a Five Year old?
im going to call that one a tie……but the 5 year old would at least probably be cute whilst fucking everything up
and you know….probably be a better speaker
Most 5 year olds as long as they aren’t the spawn of right wing nut jobs.
