On the news front, my nickel bet is on Mangione going for an insanity plea. As a white dude with family of means, legal representation isn't going to be an issue. Apparently, he was living with significant back pain and had back surgery, which can lead to insanity. Murder is not cool, but unlike cases where there seems to be no understanding of cause, this one is pretty clear.

On the home front, I am almost finished with my tree. Brendon has basketball about 20 hours a day at this time of year, so it has been a one person task. Into my second week of decorating! Granted I don't devote a lot of time to it per day. Also on the home front, DH has finally joined me in keto which makes it a lot easier for me.

eta: turkey post woot!

It can also be a gun which shoots a rapid fire stream of angry ghosts at your enemies who will be seriously slimed.

That’s the kind I have.

Pure speculation, But Mangione is at an age when things like schizophrenia and bipolar can present in young men. I think the chronic pain plus the overall dude-bro of this guy are probably clearer factors.

Open up with the cabin all week where it’s nice and decorated and clean and now I’m back at home where it is less decorated and more hectic and not seem very happy about it.

No, no, the news is explaining that it's because he played Among Us.

That is so sus.

I bet.

That is so sus.

I am honestly ready to believe any and all conspiracy theories on this.

ION, the extra smushing is done and apparently all is clear. So, thank you Kaiser, for that needlessly expensive 24-hour freakout and follow-up I guess. (I just knew the tech wasn't quite doing it right yesterday.)

Yay clear! And I too am willing to believe many conspiracy theories about this.

That is so sus.

Ha! I would say I " I see what you did there" but I only "see" by cultural osmosis so I probably don't really. But still.

Yay clear!

I am hoping it turns into an interesting court case but I'm not certain it will. Conspiracy theories are definitely on the table. It's just so easy to come up with plausible ones.

I got some Thai soup for lunch becuase I have some congestion, and I noticed that it has cute little red peppers that I assumed would kill me if I ate them and minutes after thinking that I accidentally crunched down on one. Not dead yet, but it's pretty dang hot.

Yay clear!

That is so sus.

Ha! I would say I " I see what you did there" but I only "see" by cultural osmosis so I probably don't really. But still.

I was desperately hoping for an "I see what you did there," so I'll take it! (Also, my joke was entirely based on cultural osmosis, since I've never played Among Us.)

I have played it, and I was totally about to type, "I see what you did there," so there you go.

Yay, clear!

Also, my joke was entirely based on cultural osmosis,

Aw, shared recognition of the cultural significance of something neither of as has direct experience of! The best kind of seeing what you did there.
