Very Hoorah! And I’m here for it.
If we’re fortunate enough to have one final chance to vote in a legitimate election in Nov., we cannot elect Congressmen and Senators from the Merrick Garland School of Cowardice and Silent Sedition.
We MUST elect champions of democracy who will fight to save America from fascism.

Woody Allen's films are mediocre and he always plays an irritating version of himself in them. I have never understood why people think he's a genius.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

There's a prominent Republican congressman who met his current wife when she was in high school and he was in his 40s, and it's just treated like no big deal by his caucus.
Worth remembering when they dismiss the Epstein Files stuff as no big deal.

World is Not Enough is a far better Bond film than I recall. It carries the old school vibes very well while only getting overly corny in a couple of places.
And naturally Michelle Yeoh is fantastic.

Flight details, a guy brought on a full sized labradoodle to sit in 1st class. Sitting next to a woman, who also bought a 1st class seat, wearing an N95 mask. There is not a separate seat for the dog. It’s a five hour flight. perfection.

I wasn’t aware it was out yet but thankfully found my way. It’s been a wonderful set of early episodes. Can’t wait to finish.
If you’re looking for something to watch this weekend, make sure you go to support WONDER MAN cause it seems like Marvel didn’t care to promote the fact that it is now out #wonderman

Had the pleasure of teaching a British flight attendant where UW Oshkosh was. Apparently she’s flown to Green Bay but doesn’t know where it is. 3 hours north of Chicago is good enough.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.
