Well…I’m sure you heard by now, or even read it here that Roseanne Barr had her show cancelled by ABC for some racist tweets she tweeted Monday night…and in the ensuing day, she has been backpedaling furiously trying to stem the damage that has spread to syndicated re-runs of the earlier version of her show with most of the big syndicaters pulling the show immediately. Now, she is trying to make an excuse that she was taking Ambien and that made her make the racist tweets…but, the manufacturer, Sanofi US hit back at her with a glorious trolling..”While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication.” That just made me laugh my butt off…but that is the modus operandi of the modern conservative, blame anything and anyone for them being terrible people…it’s never their fault, they are “misunderstood”, or their comments are taken “out of context”, or it’s their right to be a bigot under the first amendment…and that’s true…they are free to be a bigot and make racist statements, but that does not make them free from the consequences that arise from their bigotry….karma is a bitch….
May 30th
Well…running early today with getting up at 6 again…that seems to be settling in as the new normal and I’m okay with that…but, I may have to reset the timer on the coffee maker so it will be ready when I get up…had a pretty nice day yesterday with getting out to have a couple with T and having the top down over and back…always fun conversation, too….slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly this morning but haven’t gotten the back to crack yet and that hurts a little…the bugs are invading this place and I’ll need to spray for them today….huge ants and lots of spiders and that is just annoying….I did get a nice bike ride in yesterday with no shortness of breath so that is a relief…was a little concerned with how I felt on the bike Monday but I guess it was just a passing thing….not much to do today…might run an errand this morning or I might not…not sure yet…and I do have some fish to cook so that will give me something to do…more later…
Well done, ABC…
Well…if you haven’t already heard, ABC has just cancelled Roseanne’s show due to the racist comments she made on twitter yesterday…now, I feel for the other actors and crew on the show who aren’t racist trumpist, assholes….but, this is not new behavior from Roseanne and I’m sure they have seen this before and signed on anyway….nice job, Roseanne…your racism just lost 10 talented actors and a hundred crew people their jobs…maga…
Thank you, ABC for doing the right thing and showing us that American values shouldn’t be racist…and the open racism that trump has unleashed is not acceptable in anyone…
A few things…
Well…don’t know if I have the attention span today to do a long one on a single topic so I think I’ll do a few short ones…starting with the idiot in chief’s tweet for Memorial day yesterday…have you ever heard anything so self-serving and terrible? Starting with “happy Memorial Day” and then devolving into me, me, me…the tweet has been savaged all across the media since yesterday and it just shows that idiot boy can’t even fake having any human empathy….Memorial Day is not a “happy” day unless you are a psychopath like trump…and stating that the dead would love what he is doing to the country is just a new piece of evidence that he really IS a psychopath and mentally ill….and on Morning Joe this morning, Mika got right to the point in three words..”he’s not well”…and this doesn’t even address the pay for play scandal with China granting Ivanka valuable “trademarks” that she can use to make more money off her sweatshops there…this is a bribe by any other name and, until trump, would never, ever be acceptable..but these grifters just keep on grifting and the repubs do nothing…as usual…impeach…
May 29th
Well….running a little early today with getting up at 6:05…and that made me laugh…if you know Steely Dan, you’ll know the significance of that time…slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly this morning…just a little slow waiting for the coffee to start working…my back has been a little hinky the past couple of days and I am going to work on getting it to release later this morning…I am still a little geeked that I am getting my second credit card in a week or so and the credit repair moves forward….can’t believe the deal they offered but I’ll take it…not even any interest until August of next year….I may be having lunch with T today if she feels good enough to do it….I worry about her sometimes….not much to do today…the normal stuff and an errand, and then lunch but that will be about it for the day….more later…I’ll get back to politics today if I can come up with a topic…
Good news but feeling beat up….
Well…I think I damn near killed myself on the bike this morning and I am still feeling pretty beat up from it…not sure why it was such a struggle today but I was having problems catching my breath at times…this happens a couple of times a year and I think I may have not eaten enough…just a small burger for lunch and three tacos for dinner…so I may have done it to myself…we’ll see…oh, the good news…just got approved for my second credit card! It’s from capital one and has a 5K limit, no annual fee, 1.5% cash back, and I get 150 bucks back if I spend 500 dollars on it in the first three months…something that will be pretty easy if I stop using the secure one and put all my groceries on it…maybe even a new set of tires…they would be almost free…yay!
May 28th
Well…running about on time today but I am feeling a little slow so the coffee needs to start working soon…slept okay last night but on my right shoulder and it hurts today…but, nothing else does so I guess that’s something…it was a wasted day yesterday with all the races on and that means nothing got done but I am going to try to do some cleaning today…it’s supposed to be almost 95 again today but it was almost that warm yesterday and it stayed comfortable in here so no air again today…didn’t have to cook yesterday but I am going to make some big ribs today and then some leftover tacos later….no pool today with it being a holiday so I guess I’ll just veg out the day and take a long bike ride…more later….
The dreaded boredom starts….
Well….only about halfway through race day and I am starting to get bored a little so I thought I’d come here and noodle around for a bit…I am still pretty geeked that my car started fine this morning after sitting for three days unused…that’s the first time that has happened since I put the new battery in it last fall…I even had my battery booster box all charged up and ready to go if it didn’t…I did get out on the bike for a nice ride at 7 this morning and I remembered to have coffee first and can’t believe the difference that made…lots of sprints and sweat that felt good…and the bike is still working perfectly, too…now that I think of it, everything I use every day is working great including the phone…weird….it’s already up to 90 outside getting to 93 or so today but it is still comfortable in here at about 76 degrees….no air until later if it gets too warm…okay, part of the boredom is trying to multitask and I need to stop that..so, I will…more later?
May 27th
Well…running quite early today with getting ready for the biggest race day of the year…starting at 9 we have Monaco, Indy, and the Coke 600 to watch today so there will be racing and napping all day…slept okay last night and had some good news already today…let the car sit without starting it with the battery connected since Thursday morning and it fired right up today so I guess it was the battery last fall after all….and now the car is back to normal and that feels good…didn’t get anything done yesterday and with today being race day, I won’t get much done today, either….and that’s okay since I really don’t have much to do….I am going to get the bike ride in before the 9 am start of Monaco and I am getting some coffee down today before I go…I didn’t yesterday and it was torture on the bike without it….more later…
May 26th
Well…sitting here waiting for the rain to stop so I can get out on the bike before F1 qualifying…but, that is not looking good since it starts at 9 and it is already 7:24….slept okay last night but feel a little slow today and I hope that the bike ride will help with that…I do need to take some ibuprofen right now since my hands cramped up like crazy on the ride yesterday….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and probably won’t today, either….just haven’t been motivated lately and that’s okay….I am going to make some tacos today but I’m not sure for lunch or dinner….I think I’ve had too much beef lately and it’s hurting my digestion…okay, need to get on the bike…more later….
