Hope you all had a great week! Today is my hot stone massage so that is my fun weekend plan. I also need to try and get my money’s worth out of the pool this week.
How about you guys, anything fun going on?
My weekend will be infinitely better than any of these guys, I know that much:
Trump and his co-defendants in Georgia have surrendered. Now what?

So is that a reverse milkshake duck?

Have a great weekend!
Oh looky here. The only one who didn’t get released on bail is also a black guy who doesn’t have the resources to actually be a flight risk.

I mean Floyd is a piece of shit who should spend a lot more time in prison, but all of his buddies are bigger flight risks than he is AND have openly demonstrated that they continue to pose a threat to others. Every goddamned one of them should be in there with him.
Just like a war or horror film… The black guy gets it first.
That’s racist and America solved that and is color blind so….
It’s not jail time, but they’re not enjoying themselves.
Trump allies face ruinous cash squeeze after Georgia indictment
It’s a good thing that Trump is so generous, huh? Because otherwise these people might decide to testify against him. Oh, wait …
Good. Trying to overthrow democracy should come with some consequences. Most shithole nations would opted to have just shot their jet down or executed them with a 23mm AA gun/hangman’s noose/firing squad. At least there is rule of law. And if Roodles has to end up in financial ruin long before he spends the rest of his pathetic life in prison then so be it.
As for the Rich Men singer.
I get it. I think the one thing in common both sides (MAGAts and Progressives) has is that we’re sick of the establishment (mostly the unelected puppet master variety) fucking with us.
The major difference is nuance or recognizing nuance.
This is some wild investigative reporting in the NY Times about a bunch of rich techies spending $800 million to buy up tons of land between San Francisco and Sacramento to build a new city.

One area mayor has her doubts:
Anyone who knows California at all can tell you that water is the key — where would it come from? And after that, all of the rest of the infrastructure will be extremely hard in terms of financing and engineering.
Tech bros cut corners, fall for Dunning Kruger, and self-sabotage in endless ways. They might be able to build something, but they are going to fall short, and very possibly leave a lot of other people holding the bag.
I played a fair amount of Sim City too back in the day… probably where the Tech Brahs got their inspiration from.
Call it Dim(wit) City
okay…i dont know where provo is….but this is a fantastic psa
but you know…..at least as far as drivers doing it goes….theres an easy fix you know
stop selling automatics with cruise control
Blasphemy.
Ugh. I saw the video of the Oklahoma high school shooting at the football game. Fucking frightening. Fucking America and guns.
