I think the two-sided tape she had (previously) applied to the key must have lost its adhesive. Not ruling out her losing what was already a very feeble grip on reality. On camera. Priceless.

Meanwhile, my adopted home-town was in the national headlines this week when the state, and/or the local transit authority decided to "unplug" the rainbow lighting on the Acosta Bridge two nights ago. The lights should be back on by now, and I'm hoping that they're keeping the anti-LGBTQ idiots awake at night. At least for the next couple of nights.


From the Washington Post:

The rainbow lights on the Acosta Bridge in Jacksonville, Fla., to honor Pride Month will reportedly be turned back on following backlash after the Florida Department of Transportation deemed the color scheme “out of compliance” on Tuesday.

The Jacksonville Transportation Authority was set to light up the 1,645-foot bridge this week — Tuesday through Sunday — to celebrate the LGBTQ community but instead utilized all-blue hues Tuesday night, the agency told The Washington Post in a statement Wednesday.

“The FDOT informed the JTA that our scheduled color scheme for the Acosta Bridge is out of compliance with our existing permit,” JTA spokesman David Cawton said. “The JTA will comply accordingly.”

The move came after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a much-debated transgender girls sports ban on the first day of Pride Month and sparked immediate uproar from critics claiming he was targeting LGBTQ causes.


Ball's in your court, lonely bird...
