Well, I thought it was funny.

This pair watching people get famous lip-synching on TikTok:

A jury's favorite person in the courtroom is the judge. The jury thinks they are in it together. The judge sets the schedule. The judge sets the breaks. The judge is the protector of the jury's interests.

So, it is with complete and utter shock that 's defense team calls a dude openly fighting and disrespecting the judge (and by extension the jury).

Only the best people. . . .

@MrGoat Yes, botanically speaking, a banana plant is considered to be an herb. The banana plant belongs to the Musaceae family, and the fruit it produces is technically a berry. In botanical terms, an herb is defined as a plant that lacks a woody stem and dies back to the ground after flowering. Since banana plants have a succulent, non-woody stem and do not develop persistent aboveground woody tissue, they are classified as herbs. It's interesting to note that the term 'herb' is often used to refer specifically to the leafy parts of certain plants that are used for culinary, medicinal, or aromatic purposes. In this context, the leaves of the banana plant are also sometimes used in cooking, especially in certain cultures. So while we commonly think of herbs as small, leafy plants with culinary or medicinal uses, the botanical classification of an herb can be broader and include plants like the banana tree.

@Alfred is the banana an herb?

With the many horror stories circulating about Teslas (and Elon Musk,) it would be easy to write off electric vehicles. Don’t do that. There are plenty of terrific #EV options from legitimate automakers, companies that are not headed by crazed megalomaniacs intent on burning the world to the ground. #EVs #EVsRock

If you live somewhere that may be prone by heavy rain, flooding, or ponded water, get yourself some of these “mosquito dunks.” They’re made with bacillus thuringiensis, safe for wildlife, but deadly for mosquito larvae. With a rise in mosquito-borne diseases affecting people and pets, it’s important to be proactive.

It's true. I was there every single time in the last 7 years we never got breached. Ask me how I know.
