My mother turned 81 and her three oldest children and their spouses showed up this weekend. Two of us drove two hours and one flew in from Orlando.
She looks fantastic. She’s more like 61.
Who knows what really happened but that makes me sad. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/14/sports/football/michael-oher-blind-side-lawsuit.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
If I told you in 2015 that the big news in America would be a combination of four trials of a former president and a movie about Barbie you’d have me committed.

To quote Jerry Seinfeld, “Is this really something I haven’t seen before?”

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably

How did your #MediumDay go? I’d like to see the replay of my session and see how I did. I’m curious if the comments and questions were saved. I was a blur while I was doing it. #Medium

Is it reasonable to expect that Jack Smith knows what sort of case Fani Willis is going to bring? Or would they not speak about it?
I certainly hope it’s all hands on deck, from the DOJ and FBI to the ACLU. This is absolute bullshit. I hope the judge gets disbarred, the cops fired, and the restaurant owner ruined. https://kansasreflector.com/2023/08/11/police-stage-chilling-raid-on-marion-county-newspaper-seizing-computers-records-and-cellphones/

The comedian Trae Crowder, who bills himself as the liberal redneck, was recorded on stage recently talking about Jason Aldean’s new countrified, Maga ballad, “Try That In A Small Town.”
“Now I’m from a very, very small town, so I was interested in this story,” Crowder says. “One of the first lyrics in this song is, ‘Hey, try carjacking an old lady at a red light, right?’
“I was like, ‘A Red Light? What is this Times Square?’ https://medium.com/ellemeno/talkin-at-the-texaco-49dafc78dcd5
