In case you think I only rage and study, I also enjoy smart, horny girlypop and occasionally will do a whirlwind overnight to see it.

Update: he got arrested for *checks notes* invading her home on Halloween and ended up on a psych hold. Girlfriend is saying he lied about her having a gun. It is a MESS.

He did not win a seat on council, though.

Great and important reporting here. But the administration has been pretty clear about how these judges need to rule in order to keep their jobs. So I think we’re well beyond perception of fairness.

I am heartened by this. A little.

I got stuck next to him at an event somehow and let me tell you I have not fully recovered.

If you click through the article it gets more entertaining. References to his multiple girlfriends; “Back That Ass Up” as the inspiration as he’s allegedly never heard the jingle, and his other defense is the insurance company is plural and he is singular.

Did a candidate for Cincinnati City Council violate copyright law? Kevin Farmer is running for office this November and has a campaign sign that closely resembles the lyrics of the Farmers Insurance commercial.

It’s been overshadowed a bit by his DV charges against a Republican candidate for congress who later pulled a gun on him. Her charity is unironically named Rosemary’s Babies.

Local politics is something.

I’m just waiting for Farmer’s Insurance to go after a local council candidate.

Even if you're gonna say that "well that happened forever ago," I got into roller derby bc of my knitting group and my current team is getting into knitting bc of me.

Do you know how much rage you have to have to stab something with a needle 1000 times a night, every night, until you have a scarf?

And after all that: settled. But hey, I have it for next time. And happy to provide to whoever might need it.

Oh I agree. I just am trying to figure out how I feel about him not knowing he’s being trolled.

This sounds accurate. Sadly.

I’m trying to figure out which is worse: if we’re being trolled, or it’s sincere.
