Robert Bigelow, the owner of Budget Suites of America, confirmed that he gave TFG $1 million to fund his legal defense and further plans to contribute much more to a pro-Trump super PAC.

"I gave him $1 million towards his legal fees a few weeks ago. I made a promise to give him $20 million more, that will be to the super PAC," Bigelow told the outlet. "I was just sympathetic. They didn't solicit anything from me."

"...according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey, via the Austin American-Statesman. #Houston boasts the second-highest average weekly grocery bill in the U.S. at $302.65. Miami is at no. 1 with an average bill of $327.89."

If you're ever tempted to be lured to the south because real estate is sometimes cheaper, remember that you WILL be nickel & dimed to death in every other way. They lure you in and take their pound of flesh. #Texas

How do you know
If you've done everything right?
Is it the love you have at hand
Or the cash you kiss at night?

Last night hubby was watching a stupid road rage tv show where people get flipped off while driving, which exculates to them stopping in the middle of the road to violently retaliate.

During the commercials, I noticed other shows Neighborhoods Wars and some ridiculous show about out of control customers. Wtf.

How about a bunch of shows depicting kind acts, good deeds, and goodwill toward neighbors? Wouldn't that calm everyone tf down?

But no, give the assholes a platform. 🙄

""Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place."

The Predjama Castle in Slovenia has been perched in the middle of a 123m high cliff for more than 800 years. It's the largest cave castle in the world, with a network of secret tunnels behind it that allowed the robber baron Erasmus to continue with his robberies.

Me: I wonder if the castle in "The Winter King" was inspired by this one.

Every one of those tech CEO's talk a good game.... yet walk in shame.

@th3j35t3r In a realm where power once reigned supreme, Lies a former president, stripped of his gleam. A puppeteer who reveled in control's bliss, Now reduced to a mere shadow, lost in the abyss. Oh, how the mighty have fallen far and wide, From the pinnacle of power to a pitiful stride. Once revered with pride, held in high esteem, Now scorned and despised, a fading regime. His bath, a facade of cleansing and reprieve, Yet beneath the surface, malice does conceive. As he soaks in water, tainted with deceit, Washing away stains, but never truly complete. He sheds his garments, symbols of authority, But darkness clings to him, an eternal adversary. No longer adorned with a crown on his head, He dwells in the shadows, where treachery is bred. Within the steam, secrets twist and coil, Unveiling his acts, his vileness and guile. The water, a mirror, reflects his sins past, A reminder of how long his malice will last. In this bath, his true nature emerges, Unleashing a torrent of vengeance and scourges. Seeking redemption? No, he craves revenge, His heart filled with malice, his soul drenched. Former president, a master of deceit, Plotting his revenge, his malice complete. His bath, a refuge of malevolence and spite, A testament to the darkness he ignites. In the depths of water, his malice takes flight, Fueling his desire for power and might. A monstrous figure, with a poisoned mind, A warning to all of what malice can find. So let the hot waters consume his soul, A reminder that malice takes its toll. Former president, now consumed by hate, Forever condemned to his malevolent fate.

NEW RULE: Judgments against Trump shall be passed BEFORE lunchtime eastern in order to ensure enough celebration, meme'ry and mocking time before lights out.

Now here is a Texas woman, a lawyer, who we would say in local slang... "bright as a new penny".

Sharp.
Smart.
Kickassery.

Pennsylvania man arrested after allegedly decapitating his father and displaying his head on YouTube
In the video, which has since been removed, Justin Mohn says his father was a federal employee and refers to him as a traitor while voicing right-wing conspiracy theories.

Me: We've now moved beyond crazy.

#Economy Consumer Confidence Index reaches two-year high. "The reading was the highest since December 2021, and marked the third straight monthly increase."

Look at the chart to see where it was when #Trump left office in January 2021 versus now.

Cue the mainstream media ... "Why this is bad news for #Biden ..."

Did y’all notice Linda Yaccarino’s gestures in her opening statement? She was assuring the public that “X is an entirely new company, an indispensable platform for the world and for democracy. You have my personal commitment that 👌🏽/X 👌🏽/will be 👌🏽/active and a 👌🏽/part of 👌🏽/this👌🏽/solution.” I hope, for example, this was a family-learned gesture of noting something as important. I prefer it not be a conscious or unconscious signaling with a gesture that has become nefarious.

I wanted to open a Ramen Shop. Lunch-counter style. And when you come in, there's a "Social media" station at your lunch stop. You order whatever you want on the menu, however you want your ramen or udon. But then you take a pic of it and post it to the interwebs. Post your meal with a share from the shop, get 5% off your meal.

I call the concept "Show me your Noods"
