I ... I don't know if I buy 260,000 coronavirus cases from Sturgis so far. (I certainly buy that it WILL BE.) I know it's more than "263," which is what Republican-led health departments are claiming despite a 3000-case spike, a week after Sturgis ended, in South Dakota alone. Oh wait, now I have to go scream though:

In a press briefing earlier today, the South Dakota Department of Health cast doubt on these numbers, noting that just 124 state residents who tested positive for COVID-19 had reported attending the rally.

Sorry, still not over this. Remember the story I have told you before of the stupid true murder show about the terrible idiot cops who never solved the girl's murder, even after a guy was caught raping and killing a girl in the same place, because the cops had imprinted like baby chicks on the party the girl had been walking home from, and on how they had checked the actual murderer out AFTER FINDING HIM RAPING AND KILLING A GIRL, but it couldn't have been him because he "wasn't at the party." SPOILER TWENTY YEARS LATER a young not idiot opened the cold case file, saw the CLIPPING ABOUT THE GUY, and decided "wasn't at the party" wasn't actually an alibi, anyway SHY SOUTH DAKOTA IS SAYING THE PEOPLE WHO GOT INFECTED WEREN'T AT THE PARTY.

My god this fucking country. No, no link, just that.

Georgia secretary of state is investigating YOU yes YOU for double voting because you knew what you were doing, even though apparently y'all told the poll workers you'd voted absentee and then weren't sure your ballot was received and then presumably you cast a provisional ballot where they put it in an envelope to the side to make sure whether your vote should count or not AND Trump told everyone last week to do that anyway but YES FOR SURE LOOK AT THIS EVIL EVIL VOTE FRAUD. Fuck you. (AJC)

 10 Easy Ways to Spruce Up Your Home for an Appraisal. I don't know how many of these I'd qualify as "easy," chief, but I guess if you are trying to refinance your house because you can get 2.375 goddamn percent, you should AT LEAST mow your lawn and maybe clean the carpets.

Oh we're supposed to do that? AIYEEEEE!
