Interesting to look back at my reflections from a few weeks ago as I prepare for a life change.
A few key "hopes" for our collective future stand out as share worthy during the #COVID19 crisis...
Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.
@CUNY_Prof@Tezfaya@megynkelly@Average_NY_Guy@grok You are not a professor of visual design. I'm trying to bring no bias and would point out the depth of field vs. transparent layering as distinctly different symbolic positioning.
The Afroman Trial.
-Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons.
-Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up.
-No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman.
-Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras.
-Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives.
-During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat.
-The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation.
-Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit.
-Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them.
-One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife.
-As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE.
-The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman.
This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.
This is where Afroman played in Oxford before he came across the street where I made him a pita at 3am. Dad I missed the show, but totally feeling a win for both parties this evening.
I made this man a pita in Oxford, Ohio, 20 years ago.
The Redhawks are on the NCAA tourney. And a meteor hit Cleveland yesterday.
The universe is giving me a sign I can't decipher, but I'm here for it, y'all.
Shout out to the time I served Afroman a double-meat gyro pita in Oxford, Ohio circa 2005. I was sad I missed the show, but glad I had a small run-in with this legend.
Afroman Lays Down Facts: Wrapping up his time on the stand, Afroman drops hard truths
As his time on the stand wrapped up today, Afroman decided to let the prosecution hear it.
If the deputies wanted to avoid public scrutiny, they shouldn’t have kicked down his door and stolen his money.
“I have a right to kick a can in my backyard, use my freedom of speech, turn my bad times into good times. Yes, I do…and I think I’m a sport for doing so.”
@rwonnel@jrzx298@MacrodosingPod Your understanding of higher education is off base, sir. The Lakewood Dr. joke was funny, but purely from an education and student caliber standpoint, Miami grads crush other MAC schools as a flat average across programs. (Also, Vanderbilt is basically Miami south 🤷.)
@Schazjmd@cvspharmacy@ClevelandClinic I'm venting mostly, but there's nothing like being caught between two conflicting corporate policies. Empowered people ultimately made it happen (PA + RPh, in particular + but also CCF main telephone operator, Sarah)
CVS - 2 visits, 2 VMs, 1 call
CCF - 4 calls, two transfers
0 current solutions
@ClevelandClinic by far has a better handle on patient care for this one, but no one is "winning." Especially not the patient. (Or my patience 🤷).
