I watched a new Australian series on Acorn TV, called DARBY AND JOAN. The first episode was quite good, the second less so. I'll watch again.

It looks interesting.  I hope the rest of the episodes are equal to the first one.

Wow...those are some beautiful cupcakes!

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

In a court ruling today, it was decided that Trump must reveal his taxes.
There must be ketchup all over the place.

I hadn't heard that!  Hallelujah!

I then check the book status at my library to see if the book is also available to borrow.

At best, if I don't already have one, all I can do is put a hold on the book.

I have had that happen with hard cover books over the years, however, this is the first time it has ever happened with my eBook library.

I just read a story of a father who was kicked off the plane, and threatened that he would be arrested, as his two year old wouldn't sit in the seat and wanted to be held.  The father said his other flights permitted him to hold the child.

The first comment under the story:

Everyone knows, a 25 month old either needs to be placed under the seat or stored in the overhead bins.

After that, others had fun with their comments.

I couldn’t get the disc of The Worst Person in the World to play, so I haven’t been able to finish the movie. Until now. And it start right where it left off.

Loved that movie. And a great performance from the leading actress.

I have strenuously avoided newscasts today because they have all been about you-know-what down in you-know-where.  And they are giving voice to all the you-know-whats proclaiming foul play.

But tonight, I broke my vow and watched Lawrence O'Donnell.   I don't know why....but I am very glad I did.

He delightedly reported that while all the networks have been covering the outrage, the ridiculous threats by Republican politicians and the call for a war by a social media moron, absolutely NOTHING happened.

Yes, there has been some grandstanding, especially at Fox News (the idiot propaganda station), but O'Donnell said there are some 5 million Trump supporters in Florida alone.  Outside of a handful holding signs and flags outside Mar-a-Lago, none of those millions lifted a finger.  They went on with their lives.   There are 71 million Trump supporters in the U.S., and none of them went to war or particularly did more than make comments if a news  person asked them to react.

The social media moron who called for war...well, in addition to his million or so followers he apparently slept in.  No one went to war.

Hi-Ho!

Some very interesting folks, including a 90-year old firecracker who, if she had written a memoir, would have had a best-seller.
