WWWendy posted it as a comment in yesterday’s Video Thread, but I am copying it here because not everyone looks there:
HI EVERYONE, WENDY HERE – WANTED TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON TOM. WE SURVIVED THE MOVE ON SATURDAY TO THE NEW FACILITY. VERY LONG DAY FOR US BOTH. TOM IS ADJUSTING WELL, GETTING USED TO HIS NEW ENVIRONMENT AND RESTING UP THE BEST HE CAN. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WERE SOME COMPUTER COMPLICATIONS AND WE HAVE A REPAIR MAN COMING ON WEDNESDAY. I TOLD TOM THAT I WOULD POST AN UPDATE – THE MOVE CAUSED A LOT OF DISCOMFORT AND PAIN FOR HIM AND HE IS VERY EXHAUSTED – HAS BEEN IN BED RESTING SINCE SATURDAY AND HOPEFULLY WILL BE UP AND ABOUT WITH A COMPUTER BY WEDNESDAY IF EVERYTHING GOES AS PLANNED. NEW PLACE IS TREATING HIM WELL {WITH MY SUPERVISION OF COURSE – LOL}. I THINK IN THE LONG RUN, THIS WILL BE A GOOD MOVE TO PROVIDE HIM WITH 24 HOUR COMFORT AND CARE. BEST REGARDS TO EVERYONE – THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED CARE AND SUPPORT OF TOM AND i.
The emphasis is mine – our guesses were actually spot on (although we didn’t mention the exhaustion, I feel sure it was always there in our minds. And Wednesday is tomorrow!
I was already feeling much better today and this just puts frosting on that.
Now This News – Aaaaaaw! Watch these firefighters carefully free a poor squirrel who got its head stuck in the knothole of a tree. Once freed, the little guy scampers off like nothing happened 🐿
John Fugelsang – “Tucker Carlson’s Baffled Bitch Face” – CC in Portuguese – too good not to share – had to delay a day to get a full transcript.
Hello, I’m Tucker Carlson, titan of journalism, beloved by millions, and chances are your grandma already likes me more than she likes you. Got a question. Has this ever happened to you? You’re at your job and you’re debating some virtue signaling human rights activist on your highly rated prime time cable news show, and your very well intentioned snowflake guest is talking about marginalized peoples (that’s their way of calling you racist.) So you counter back by saying that shifting demographics is causing economic anxiety among traditional Americans, which is your way of saying, fuck you who cares if I am. What if I told you there was a way to shut your opponent’s entire narrative down without presenting any counter argument or even any facts. Well, I’m proud to present a brand new online workshop where you can learn my patented, trademarked secrets of Tucker Carlson’s Baffled Bitch Face. That slack-jawed, lipless, mouth agape look of constipated befuddlement that I have mastered, which has made me the hero to millions of guys around the world, who’d like to own the libs, but don’t have time to learn shit. In my new online workshop. I will teach you how to pull focus away from whoever’s speaking by using my trademark, lipless concern troll stare. It looks like a simple doughy grimace, but what you’re really doing is conveying to your entire audience. I don’t know what you’re talking about! I’m trying to understand you, but I don’t like the things you’re saying! I don’t want to understand you! I’m going to make this face until the elderly demo hate you (Inarticulate howls) “Let Dancing With The Stars veteran Tucker Carlson show you how to relax your chin into your neck and find your douche in the headlights gaze!” I think I think I think you’ll find in the early days. It helps to verbalize when you’re practicing the face. Go ahead and make the sounds that match the look (inarticulate wails) “All new exercises!” Wait a second – taxing people who can afford to pay a lot more. A little more can help offset the deficit? [Boinggg] Wait a minute – I should treat trans people like they’re people? [Drumbeat] Once you’ve mastered my dismayed, crypto fascist, misogynist scowl, your enemies will run away faster than my own advertisers! [party horn] Tucker Carlson’s Baffled Bitch Face – Release your smug!
Beau follows up on yesterday’s predictions with amplification and advice.
OK. I’m concerned too. But I am, and I’m sure you all are, continuing to pray (or, as he says, however you communicate with the universe.) Please continue … and if possible read the comments in yesterday’s “Still Not A Personal Update” and add Lynn to your list (I am slowly improving.)

[0:10] (MLK] Mind you, friends your vote is precious, almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have to create a more perfect union. On one occasion a man was asked to count the number of bubbles in a bar of soap. On another occasion a man was asked to count the number of jelly beans in a jar -to keep them from casting their ballot.
[0:30] [Stacey Abrams?] The Governoris signing a bill that affects more Georgians – why are they doing it in private and why do they try to keep elected officials representing us out of this process?
[0:48][Rev Warnock]The Georgia election was certainly free of any consequential fraud. We counted the village not once not twice but three times
[music]
[1:20][Warnock] They don’t like the outcome. So this is democracy in reverse where Politicians have decided that instead of voters picking their representatives, their representatives have a right to cherry pick the voters.
[1:36] Dozens of prominent black business leaders in America, calling for companies to fight against georgia’s controversial voter legislation. We’re asking corporate America to publicly and directly oppose any discriminatory legislation and all measures designed to limit America’s ability to vote.
[2:16] There’s work to be done.

Now This News – Despite pockets of crazies, I am proud of my state … and certainly proud of out Secretary of State.
Now This News – This is at least promising. We will have to see to what degree the promise is kept.

It’s a hectic day here in the CatBox. Tomorrow is moving day, so this is the last article I’ll write until after I’m there. Today, I’ll get as much rest as I can, because on Saturday, I’ll be completely exhausted and am likely to stay that way through the weekend My day tomorrow will start at 8:00 AM and last late into the night. After that, I will be back as soon as I can. Until I am, you guys are in charge. TGIF! Prayers UP!
