Good job, NYC jurors!

Methinks Trump shot himself in the foot when he didn't put on a defense; otoh, there wasn't really a defense!

I'm confident TFG has assaulted hundreds of women during his life. At least one of them got some validation in a court of law.

I have BBQ. That helps a lot.

BBQ always does.

If anyone wants something soothing and inspiring, the Westminster Kennel Club dog agility championships are on Youtube. 2+ hours of dogs running through tunnels and over teeter-totters and generally having a ball.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Singing the Good Morning song!

George Santos was arrested!

Trump was still found liable and ordered to pay $5 million dollars!

I can use my foot today!

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

Well, that’s all nice to wake up to!

Our wings are not tired.

Yes indeed, news to enjoy.

I just got back from riding my bike for the first time in a number of years. It has been in storage. Anyway, the good news is I survived a couple of miles through my neighborhood park, the bad news is that Florida is very hot. Wunderground tells me it is 87F, feels like 95F. I disagree as it feels much warmer than that. Now to hydrate. My watch tells me I did a whopping 6 mph. Woot! Tomorrow I will go around 7 AM. A much better plan. Also, helmets are expensive! I went to the bike shop and maybe should have gone to Walmart or something, but I like my brain.

Also, helmets are expensive!

That's because your noggin is priceless!

It freaks me out when I see people on bikes without helmets. In Florida you don't even need one on a motorcycle. Crazy.

Thrive to spite them

Laura-- a woman who helped get the helmet laws changed so motorcyclists could ride without one was the first (or maybe 2nd ) person to die after the law went into effect. I think a month after the law went into effect she was riding without a helmet. I always wondered if her death made others change their mind and wear helmets.
