You know the word queue is French, because they literally could have just spelled it "q", but there's four silent nonsense vowels at the end of it instead.

My neighbor is furious with me because I won't let the super skinny stray cat starve to death, and apparently it pooped in her yard.

I'm very anxious about the cat. Now I am additionally super anxious about quarreling with my next door neigbour.

Yes, I volunteered to pick up all poop for her.

I might have thrown out "being annoyed about it is a choice" at her departing back.

The prosecution asks that the defense be precluded from asking whether she was arrested. Justice agrees w/the prosecutors, saying that โ€œanybody can be arrestedโ€ & that it โ€œdoesnโ€™t prove anything.โ€

The people call Stormy Daniels back to the stand

atty begins questioning by saying that in 2011, Daniels denied having had sex w/Trump.

By details, Merchan asks, more than just "we had sex"? Yes, Necheles says.

This morning at 7:31, ripped Judge Merchan online โ€” before it was public that Stormy Daniels would be testifying โ€” saying, "I have just recently been told who the witness is today. This is unprecedented โ€ฆ No Judge has ever run a trial in such a biased and partisan way."

"After about twenty minutes the post was deleted." I.e. when his lawyers woke up and ordered him to delete it, is my best guess.

Every day I read theories about why the media favors Nazis and gives bad coverage to Biden,.

"They're trying to make it a horse race"

"Incompetence"

"Ratings"

But never "Billionaires own the companies and they're on the side of the Nazis", which seems like the simpler, more obvious explanation to me.

Via Andrew Weissmann said this last night. These are creative, and hopefully potentially effective, options:

options in addition to fine/jail:

  • put a monitor over his use of social media posts
  • hold sentence on a contempt finding until after trial over
  • advise Trump that his contempt of gag order can be considered at sentencing upon conviction.

All can be used by Judge Merchan.

I think a person who is starving children, and causing them to be treated for injuries without the benefit of anaesthesia, and just blown up, and buried alive, without rescue, can go fuck himself.

I started out with a pointed, sober rebuttal, but reality intruded.

I'll be very happy when I hear that the monster that is Netanyahu is dead.

Look at how much Trump is in the lead in Georgia. He has more than double the support from Georgian voters as can be seen by this bar chartโ€ฆ if you believe that 49 percent is more than the double of 46 percent.

Nuts!

If you've been holding off on on Netflix, I can confirm that it is EXCELLENT. It's a love letter to the universe and Wednesday herself is featured in a delightful and interesting way.

It had me guessing about key plot points and motivations right up until the end, gave us a wealth of fantastic friendships and complex relationships, and overall, did my little goth heart a world of good to watch.

Really, really hope it gets renewed for Season 2.

Edelruth,
@Edelruth@mastodon.online avatar

@gnarlygeek @danhulton

Season 2 is confirmed!

I just finished rewatching, and they posted that season 2 is coming in place of the "next episode" slot at the end - but, they did not say when.

Wednesday is my current rescue show, for whe two is too bleak.
