Monday Morning Smile

 I have been pre-posting Monday smiles for a while now.  I forgot I didn't have one for this week until I looked at my posts.  So this is Monday smile for a Tuesday.

Hope everyone enjoyed the long 4th of July weekend

Turning Day

 

Light a rainbow candle today. 

On this day, in 1954, Alan Turing took a bite of a cyanide-laced apple, and ended his journey on this planet. He died by suicide after being subjected to harmful treatment, forced on him for the crime of being gay. Turing was a manner-ignoring, gas-mask-wearing, marathon-running, Nazi-defeating frood. His work shortened WW2 by 2-4 years, saving millions of lives. Oh, and he also invented computers. 

He was the hoopiest, nerdiest, quirkiest carachter history has given us, and we can only guess what humanity lost along with his lost years.

On his day of death he was 16 days away from turning 42.

 Don't worry, this has a good ending.

When You Realize What a Fool You Are

 

Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports that Proud Boys leader Ethan Nordean lashed out at former President Donald Trump when he realized that he would likely be going to jail for him, according to new messages revealed by prosecutors.

“Alright I’m gonna say it. FUCK TRUMP!” Nordean reportedly wrote on Jan. 20. “Fuck him more than Biden. I’ve followed this guy for 4 years and given everything and lost it all.”

Nordean, who was arrested in February and faces multiple charges related to his alleged role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, said Trump led his followers to “believe some great justice was upon us,” but that “it never happened.”

“Now I’ve got some of my good friends and myself facing jail time cuz we followed this guys [sic] lead and never questioned it,” he wrote. “We are now and always have been on our own.”

Nordean also complained that Trump “pardon[ed] a bunch of degenerates” as he left office, 

while leaving his followers “on [t]he battle field bloody and alone.”
