Good morning!

Whole bean grind, or pre-ground? ☕

This is how cults grow. A single, charismatic figurehead is required. All who come after that ascendance willingly drink the Kool-Aid, even if they know what it's spiked with. They will sacrifice their children. They will kill themselves.

Because they're believers.

Posse comitatus be damned. It's time - way past time - for a Texas smackdown.

It's been a really odd winter so far in most of the US. 62° in central Florida right now. That's not normal in the middle of January, even in FL.

I'm heading for the golf course.

Happy - no, relieved - to be part of the fam here.

Y'all rock.

Heavy weather coming the next few days.

I’m now getting ads in my xwitter feed for dildos.

The end of the bird is near.

Thanks all. It's been a day.

For those of us in GMT -5, nighters. And may tomorrow lift us up. 🤗

Y'all have been great today.

It's nice to have a SM place to breathe. Niters. 🤗

The discovery process on this lawsuit is going to be a hoot.

Brian Karem pens a powerful article for Salon.

"There aren’t two sides to this story. Just like there isn’t two sides to the Holocaust or the moon landing – both of those things actually happened. So did the insurrection..."

When I get 💩 wrong on any social media platform where I participate (and it happens to all of us from time to time,, intentionally or not), I write a mea culpa, then take down the offending post. I don't sit there, let it fester like an open wound when people I trust are screaming at me to get to Urgent Care.

But there are influencers who do. Just a head's up.

Not all Republicans are domestic terrorists, but all domestic terrorists are Republicans.

Found elsewhere. Please pass it along. Someone you know, either IRL or online, needs this information.

I didn't think any cover could overwhelm the original classic. Wrong. Holy smokes. OMG - I had to listen to this five times just to catch the nuances & performers.

NBCNews reports that Westgate Resorts has cancelled Madge Greene's 1/6/23 J6 memorial rally in Kissimmee, FL. Westgate claimed they didn't know the purpose of the rally, only that it was supposed to be a "meet and greet" with Greene. It should be noted that Westgate has more resort hotels in the Orlando metro area than Disney. Upshot: they didn't want the negative PR of an unhinged lunatic stirring up MAGAts on their property on the third anniversary of the Insurrection.

I can satisfactorily state that I had my best golf round of the year on Monday. #CoSoGolf ⛳

Come to think of it, a lot of things in life are like that. 🤔

I own a lot of golf gear. If every piece of equipment that promised me 10 - 20 more yards on my tee shots actually worked, I'd be driving par 5 greens. #CoSoGolf
