I read this story a few times by different outlets throughout the day. It started with a 12 year old kid said his movie star Mother choked him, called B list Dad to come get him. Texts show Mom apologizing. People are very “she would never, Dad just wants money.” What the fuck. It’s child abuse.

Based on a cat litter commercial I just saw, cat boxes belong in the living room? I’ve been doing this wrong my whole cat owner life, I guess. It’s always been bathrooms or laundry rooms.

My Mother has three children. I, the one with children of my own, is the only one anyone can contact because my brother sleep with their phones on silent. So when Mom goes to the ER, I’m stuck knowing what’s going on and can’t go until the kids are in school. My brothers get to sleep peacefully.

I saw a report about a roller coaster being put down, for causing too many brain injuries. So I wondered if my favorite childhood roller coaster is still up. It is! The Grizzly was at Great America in Santa Clara when I was a kid. It was wooden, so it was creaky and rough, perfectly scary.

The sheep for fodder follow the shepherd, the shepherd for food follows not the sheep; thou for wages followest thy master, thy master for wages follows not thee: therefore thou art a sheep.

I fucking hate watching anything with ads right now. “James Talarico is weird.” “Ken Paxton protects child predators.” “Greg Abbott voted against raising taxes.” Every single commercial break. There is an insane amount of money being dumped into Texas, it’s completely inescapable.

I was introduced to the Caleb Flynn case today. Getting divorced is fine. It’s not that bad. It’s certainly preferable to life in prison, I’m assuming, it was in my case.

Everyone is doing this, I know some of my picks are blips on the majority radar and I also feel they are all more recent than early 2000’s because my brain is swiss cheese. But, these were shows I really got into and enjoyed.

NYT picks for best shows that began after 2000. Pics are stranger things, the Pitt, a discovery of witches, Vikings, Hannibal, call the midwife, justified, the Queen’s gambit, sons of anarchy and slow horses.

Me watching: Evil Lives Here: My Child The Killer. Cannot stop crying. It’s emotionally destroying, it’s painful, it’s devastating on a level that true crime doesn’t usually hit at. I am having so many feelings and processing all of it is difficult.

Rafael Garces Perez is in the U.S. legally, is not a criminal, and is working a job. He was shot in the back by the same cowardly taintlords who came in 4th place for a Wal-Mart loss prevention job, was denied medical care, and is being held without the Due Process required by the U.S. Constitution
