According to a customer just now, Chardonnay gives you hangovers but Sauvignon Blanc doesn’t! How does one even respond to such a ridiculous statement?

The arena is empty, except for one man
Still driving and thriving as fast as he can
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he’s driving and striving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom
he
still
burns.

Just went outside and the sky has that ominous orange tinge to it indicating smoke in the air. Not nearby thankfully but it’s a sign of how much is happening elsewhere

Just watching MSNBC (now known as MS Now) and they’re reporting that ICE agents used to get five months training but now they get just 47 days. 47 was chosen as Trump is the 47th President. I just cannot even begin to express my feelings here. None of them are complimentary. #FuckICE

This is just sickening. What the fuck is wrong with us?
Has there been any public update about the homeless woman who attended a police station on the South Coast in NSW and then died in her car in the police station car park, and wasn’t noticed until she was decomposing?
