It’s clear DC consultants who don't know the first thing about Indiana drew this map. These districts:

Map of proposed gerrymandering of Indiana house districts, with current districts shown as black polygons. Centrally located Marion County, where Indianapolis is located, would be divided into 4 different districts, one of which extends all the way to the Ohio River at the state’s southern border.

For those interested in the process: 1) Introduced/assigned to committee 2) heard in committee 3) second reading vote 4) third reading/final passage 5) goes to Senate. There are legal timeframes for each step, 24 hrs I think. It won’t go to 3rd reading until Thurs or Fri.
Then the Senate is up. 1/

Why does every republican try to do stand up when they speak? Just the most unfunniest, uncharismatic, humorless, no talent hacks ever, and they all think they're funny. Every one is that lieutenant in good morning Vietnam that thinks they can replace Robin Williams

Happy Thanksgiving!! I’m posting a pic that was taken at the cabin. I call it The One Who Got Away. We have a turkey barn not far from the cabin. And when they load up the turkeys, there are always a couple who get away.
Odd phenom with a sun beam shining down where the turkey stood.

Today I got on the two wastewater surveillance sites in Indiana to see what’s floating around before the holidays. Carmel and Bloomington. Looks like Norovirus is the prevalent bug. Flu and covid seems low right now.

First year post-legalization in Ohio, let’s take a look at the numbers. Sales totals for first year: recreational brought in $700M; medical/recreational combined brought in $3B. 36% of these revenues goes to cities and townships.
Our governor’s bright idea: toll the interstates to get $2B per yr

Finished the miniseries on James Garfield last night, Death by Lightning,
on Netflix (very good). I never knew anything about him but once visited Lakeview Cem in Cleveland where he is buried. I was shocked at the size and grandeur of his memorial.

The lesson here is that sometimes you shouldnt go down rabbit holes. Sometimes you need to fill them in with dirt or stone or cement.
I am ignoring that lesson because I am a messy bitch who enjoys this kind of fucked up drama.
