Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Scrappy!

In other news, Mr. S didn't get his meds this morning, so he's a bit more disregulated than usual for this time of day. Sigh...

I legitimately just gasped and put my hand to my bosom like a swooning maiden.

It's about all the classified shit and records he took with him when he moved out.

Apparently nobody is going to send the FBI to an ex-president's house unless the warrant has been reviewed all the way to the Attorney General, and the judge that signed it is going to be incredibly careful.

The federal statute that might apply--the one about mishandling classified documents--has as a potential consequence being barred from federal positions for the rest of your life.

So, you know, lots of schadenfreude on Twitter tonight.

In other news about terrible men, W. Kamau Bell's documentary about Bill Cosby is streaming for free on Youtube. So I'm watching the first part. It's really good, but YIKES.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm up to Sandman episode 4. I'm trying to spend more time in my own actual living room, which yesterday was mandatory-almost, because that's where the best AC in the house is.

We have maybe another day of sauna weather before it breaks.

Thrive to spite them

I'm happy that the FBI has gone after the documents that Trump took illegally. I'm freaked out about the response by the GOP, I mean, they are all acting like Trump is being persecuted and I know the party wants power. I feel like the extremists probably do believe Trump's lies but they all can't and I know some are guilty of doing shit but ... I mean, they can't all have been (I'm not talking about the GOP in Congress but Governors and State legislatures etc). So that means they are willing to destroy our system of government for their power.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yep. I feel like that was where they have been inevitably headed for a while. Admittedly, I have not paid any attention to who is saying what at this point, but that's how the party has been trending.

Lunch update - I could not think of anything taht sounded good for lunch so I defaulted to pizza and salad so i can have leftovers tomorrow and got the Pizza of the Month because why not? It was Burrata Pizza, which also has arugula and a balsamic glaze and I wasn't sure about all that, really, but it turns out to be really very delicious
