Bite me, Musk.

Progressive political commentator (print, radio, podcasts) for years. I post a lot: breaking news + legit info you can use, prone to snark. My mini Australian Labradoodle, Hamilton, has trained me well.

Now where's my trough of wine? 🍷🇺🇸🇨🇦

Debbie Downers, please settle down for the day, please? We won. Trump lost, bigly.

A few of you said to me that Juror 2 was a MAGAt who would hang the jury. You were wrong.

Speculation is pointless.

Let this happen. So far, we’re doing well. Whatever comes next, let’s wait and see, which has always been my position on everything. Wait. And. See.

Thanks so much.

I gave up trying to reply to everyone.

I’m relieve, happy, relieved, overjoyed, did I mention relieved?

I was truly shaking so hard, I had real trouble typing.

What I didn’t tell you is that we MAY have found a townhouse to buy, which we saw right before the verdict was read.

We’re deciding now.

This day.

This. Day.

THANK YOU ALL for your kind words and love. Back atcha.

Elon #Musk has had another legal blow as his lawyers failed to get a defamation suit filed against him thrown out.

Ben Brody, a Jewish college student, sued the billionaire in October after Musk, Tesla's CEO and the owner of the social media platform X, incorrectly identified him as a member of a neo-Nazi group in Oregon who took part in a violent street brawl.
