It's not satire. Have you read that man's Twitter? He's just an idiot. I mean the whole GregKelly account is possibly a parody account. I haven't looked into it lately but a few weeks ago half of my timeline was blue-check journalists talking about whether it's a parody account or not.

Reality Winner, a former National Security Agency contractor who pleaded guilty to mishandling government secrets about Russian election interference and who has long sought a pardon, has been transferred from federal prison to the custody of a halfway house to serve the rest of her sentence, her attorney said Monday. Winner’s transfer came on June 2 and was not part of any commutation or special treatment but a scheduled shift due to good behavior, said her attorney, Alison Grinter Allen. While she finishes her sentence, she is likely to have the option of home confinement. “She is in the custody of the halfway house, and the halfway house can use home confinement as part of it, but it’s all at the discretion of the halfway house,” her attorney said. “She has begun the reentry process.” Reality Winner, the NSA contractor who pleaded guilty to mishandling government secrets, is transferred to halfway house By Devlin Barrett www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/reality-winner-halfway-house-transfer/2021/06/14/0420b8bc-cd38-11eb-8014-2f3926ca24d9_story.html

A protester in Minneapolis was killed last night by a guy ramming his vehicle at high rate of speed at the cars that were parked protecting the protesters.

Setting your thermostat at 78 or higher degrees in TX sounds absolutely miserable. We've been having record heat here and we have kept our day time temp at 73 (with it usually not being able to keep up anyway). Jesus, that whole system is a nightmare.

fatpony and as usual, the press wanted to whitewash the story by claiming initially that protestors pulled the guy out of the car to attack him. When in fact, he was trying to flee and the protestors were keeping him from doing so. As reported by several acquaintances of mine who posted live on IG as it was happening.

elle, I was just coming in to post about the ERCOT debacle. Meanwhile Abbott wants to build a wall or something dumb. I don't know. Maybe the fix the grid instead?!?? Yes we are getting August level heat here right now. It's hot AF. I hate it and am completely done with summer. However it's June, we get hot like this every year, and I can't believe ERCOT is still making excuses. I saw this show back in February and didn't like it. I don't want the sequel.

Well this is pretty terrible. Yep. I got the alert from Texas Democrats, remarking that Abbott STILL has not fixed this mess yet. He’s been working on voter suppression and abortion restrictions instead. 😡 It has been unreal hot here lately. We’ve had heat advisories the last few days. I hate Abbott so much. I keep thinking about the woman who died from hypothermia in her apartment during the ice storm. Then people broke into her apartment and stole her things. 😢

Oh hey neighbor abs. Just when you think Abbott can’t sink any lower, he always finds a way. 😠 Every time!! I can’t wait to vote against him next year. Like they didn’t even talk about the power grid during the last legislative session. Just guns, walls, abortions, and how to make sure no one can vote. He’s been extra awful this year.

FBI is warning law makers that Qidiots may become more violent and are possibly planning additional attacks. They still believe all the conspiracies, but are losing faith in "the plan." Ergo, the belief is they need to take control of the country and situation in order to bring about their desired reckoning. www.cnn.com/2021/06/14/politics/fbi-qanon-threat-assessment/index.html(I'm getting Manson family helter skelter vibes from this. Like fuck.)

Is it me or is it quieter in the DMV area this morning? Please tell me the cicada nightmare is almost over... I went for a walk today and noticed that the frogs were much louder than the cicadas! It was lovely.

I’m sympathizing with Texas but feel like CA/PG&E are going to be saying hold my beer in a month or two. So not looking forward to the heart of the summer.
