I'm bemused by the folks weighing in excitedly about an $83M decision today.
Wake me up when the loser is wearing jumpsuit orange or is living on the streets because they've actually gotten the money out of him for all of these lawsuits he's lost. Otherwise, meh.
(And spare me the "this is a symbolic victory" argument. The loser is exceedingly likely to be a major-party candidate on the ballot in 2024, and even money in my view to win the election, so "symbolic victories" don't impress me much.)

As a wrestling fan who has lapsed a bit, I still keep up on the wrestling news.
The Vince McMahon story that's blown up in the last 24 hours, to not rely on third party reporting etc... I went to read the actual legal filing to see exactly what was going on.
It's very, very grim reading.
Then I got to one bit.
Now I have a strong stomach but holy hell I had to nope out with 60 pages to go as it made me feel physically sick.
As someone on Reddit put it, "What a horrific day to have eyes."

"And That Is Okay By Me."
by Jenn Dolari
Well my beau done left me for Dr Brassard,
Came back as a woman, named Carrie Ann Lamar.
And now my gal done wears all-a my old clothes,
She steals my bras and then wears my pantyhose.
And that is okay by me.
They say things are bigger in Texas, it's true.
The progesterone regiment made her a bouncer, too.
We talk about the patriarchy and what we're gonna do.
She paints my nails, and I paint hers too.
And that is okay by me.
She gets all the hollers when she drives the pickup truck.
You'd think they'd be hateful, but we've got all the luck,
We live in a county that's more Purple than Red.
'Cause the Hill Country's got heart, and that makes the rest mad.
And that is okay by me.
Now there are some folks, who will holler and moan,
Wish they'd shut up and just leave us alone.
They're not the ones who'll be sleepin' in our bed.
Obergfell v Hodges says we're legal to wed.
And that is okay by me.
I loved my beau as much as my gal,
She still the same person, and she's my best pal.
The weddin' is on, we sent out the invites,
But I'm not too sure we both can wear white.
And that is okay by me.
