Hello again, everyone. And to Ron DeSantis and Eel-lawn Musk, a very hearty bleep you. I was going to publish this on Wednesday upon the aftermath of election day 2022, however 1) election day has turned into election week and 2) we here in Florida were a little preoccupied this week, so I had to wait until this evening to create this post.
As for Eel-lawn, I'll get to him in a jiffy. But first, what went down Tuesday night. Unfortunately for me and many mutuals I follow on Twitter, Ron DeSanctimonious won a second term as Governor, which means we have four more years of a B.A.G. in Tallahassee. Not only did he win, but he won by a substantial margin. In Florida, it was a bad night for Dems, Val Demings (former Orange County Sheriff) lost her race to Marco Rubio for US Senate, and Democrats lost a seat in the House, with Republicans winning 20 of the 28 races, including alleged pedophile extraordinaire Matt Gaetz.
(not a good night for Florida Dems...again)
Now normally, I would rip the voters of Flori-DUH a new one, in fact earlier this week on Twitter I did. But then I looked at the big picture. While there may have been a red wave in Florida, it wasn't the case across most of the rest of the nation. But there was no blue wave either. In fact, the only waves making headlines this week were washing onto the East coast of Florida, but that's a different story. There was a big victory in Pennsylvania, as John "can't find a" Fetterman defeated Mehmet O'Quacken for US Senate. Wisconsin re-elected their Democratic governor, Michigan re-elected their governor as well. However Ohio elected a Republican election-denier as Senator, and Lauren Boebert appears to have a close US House victory in western Colorado. So, pretty much a stalemate? Even though NBC (surprisingly) projects that the GOP will gain the House, while CNN hasn't made projections about the races that haven't been called yet.
You know who is big(ly) mad about Tuesday's results? Dumb Donald. In fact, looking at press clippings about Trump and these midterms, he's pretty much the Ti-D-Bowl man sinking down the commode and struggling to hold onto the toilet lever. Trump even doubled down on his threats of dragging DeSantis' name through the mud...BUT, a bipartisan group from Broward County shot those allegations down. Sorry Donald, but once again, you're full of shit.
Now, on to the South African muskrat who's trying to take down Twitter. I'm sure most of you have already heard of Musk's, ahem, exploits after taking the platform over. This week, it got weird. Very weird. Instead of leaving well enough alone, Musk stated that ANYONE could be "verified" by paying first $20/month, then lowering it to $8/month. The results of which were hilarious. Allow me to post a few examples:
"Bitch, I'm a cow." And there's this:
Yes, the Lakers are struggling, but Lebron isn't going anywhere. Oh, and there's gem:
No, that's not really Ben Shapiro or Cancun Cruz, who was busy dodging beer cans at the Astros World Series parade. Then there's this tweet from who we thought was diabetic medicine manufacturer Eli Lilly, but in actuality wasn't:
And the above tweet had some serious consequences:
That's just some of the tweets that made their way onto twitter this week, and there are even more if you know where to look. Remember the saying that Emperor Nero fiddled while Rome burned? Well, I guess you can say that Elon's fiddling while Twitter burns:
ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm unsure of Twitter's fate over the remainder of this year, so I may have to find another platform to chat my head off, whether it be tumblr or otherwise. I have a Mastodon account, but very little idea on how exactly to work it because most of the folks I follopw on Twitter are on different servers. But rest assured, I'll continue this blog in one form or another. Also potentially coming soon, I may have a twitch channel. So stay tuned. In the meantime, have a great weekend and I hope to return during this weekend

Speaking of twitch, my friend Samantha wants to get the word out, so check this channel as well as this channel! Later!
