A Florida woman driving a raised truck apparently did not see the lamborghini she drove right over. There is video. It will make you sad.
A woman dropped her daughter off at school. About 15 minutes later she got a call from someone claiming to be with a cartel, who had taken her daughter to torture. They even let her speak to her daughter. She frantically tried to get money for a ransom, but her transactions kept getting turned down.
Her sister then called the daughter's school and found out the girl was in school the whole time. Turns out someone had cloned her daughter's voice with AI.
That is damned creepy.
Hmmmmmm....The Lanterns trailer was removed from HBOMax. I wonder why. Mayhap because it looked godsawful?
Disney is apparently contemplating new theme park rules that would crack down on influencer behavior. On one hand, I can sympathize. Many of those so-called "inlfuencers" come across as obnoxious pieces of crap. On the other hand, I have to wonder if they just want to crack down on (probably well-earned) bad publicity.
I was reading up on this new indie film named Where Even Shadows Fear to Tread. It's set in Idaho, and has people investigating murders, eventually leading to some cult action. Sounds interesting.
Dean Cain shared a picture of himself in the old Superman costume. He's still a big dude, but not as big as he once was.
Happy Birthday Marcus Aurelius!

Happy Birthday Channing Tatum!
Anyway...I do have some errands to run today. The boy needs new shoes. And I want to visit Lowe's for a few items. Otherwise...not much else going on.
I watched Meg 2: The Trench last night. It was....quite horrid. I found the first movie to be goofy, but entertaining. This one was far more of the first, far less of the second.
Took the boy to get new shoes earlier. He hasn’t been feeling well all day, though, so we skipped the other errands I needed to run. And he didn’t go on his practice hike either.
To be honest, I’m not feeling all that grand. Finally took an allergy pill. We’ll see if that helps.
In a minute or two, I’ll go get the chicken kabobs off the grill. Mmmm…..kabobs. With marinated chicken and veggies.
Decided to watch the original V miniseries. It’s not the greatest of all science fiction, but it was solid and pretty well done.
The story was pretty tight. They go from start, through introducing the Visitors, to having them basically take over at just over an hour. Not surprising to see so many of the media in the show being complicit with the Visitors.
I see that Michael biopic had a really good opening weekend.
It'll be a busy Monday, that's for sure.
I've got to organize all the awards for tomorrow night's Court of Honor. I'm also hoping to make a quick trip over to the grocery store to pick up desserts (assorted baked goods) for that event. While I'm out and about for that, I'll probably swing by Lowe's.
If I can take care of all that today, then tomorrow the only thing I'd need to take care of during the day is ordering the pizza for the Court of Honor. That shouldn't take long.
If all that goes according to plan, tomorrow I can mostly focus on the Lord of Hatred Expansion being released for Diablo IV.
Sorry, scammer. I keep pretty meticulous records of which companies I apply to, and you weren't anywhere near that list. Not to mention the company you claim to represent doesn't even have the job you say I applied for listed on its career section. So, no. I won't click on the link you sent.

I always thought "We ride at dawn" sounded pretty badass. Dawn is really early, though. Could we ride around 10 am instead? After I've had my morning coffee.
Hamburger Helper only works if the hamburger is ready to accept that it needs help.
If we have to pay taxes, then the government should at least send us postcards about the specific fraud ring we're sponsoring. Kind of like animal non-profits send updates on the animal you sponsor. Am I sponsoring a Somali daycare scam or a Persian Hospice scam? I want to know.
When you realize your streaming services cost more than cable did and you're still watching commercials:
This deal is getting worse all the time.
The sun will burn out in 5 billion years. Which means Texas will have to finish all the road construction in the dark.
"The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets."

The governor of Indiana signed a law that says schools will teach a so-called "success sequence": graduate, work full time, marry, have kids. In that order.
"It's okay to cry.", says pathetic excuse for a man.
Hmmm...King Charles and Queen Camilla are coming to visit the USA. Thankfully, I won't have to put up with the headaches such a visit can bring.
"Equity Plan" sounds like a nice way of saying "more government control over your lives, serfs".
Damned filthy commies.
Apparently, there is a pop singer named Kesha. I only know this because there was a news article about her skinny dipping in support of Mother Nature.
Archaeology news! They've apparently pinpointed the location of the so-called "Spanish Roanoke". This is a lost colony that had been founded in Chile, somewhere near the Strait of Magellan. It's apparently also known as Port Famine.
There was another article talking about an interview (part of a documentary, I think) done by a red-head actress who was on that old TV show Boy Meets World. She talks about how Hollywood treats young people like products and sexualizes them.
No s@#t!
Emirates airline is reportedly considering adding private bathrooms inside 1st class suites. I'd guess those would be crazy expensive.
Apparently, some indie comic book company came up with their own Punisher like character, but he only goes after people who abuse animals. Sounds boring and lame.
Ye gods! Yet another spinoff of that vastly overrated Big Bang Theory.
Happy Birthday Mumtaz Mahal!
Happy Birthday Marc-Antoine Parseval!
Happy Birthday Samuel Morse!
Happy Birthday Wallace Hume Carothers!
