Saturday Open Thread - 2/21/26: Odds and Ends

Good morning, good people!

Lots of experiences in court this week exemplifying the chances to the Family Code and Penal Code, which pushes for co-parenting when the parents are no longer in the same household. Two different counties, two different judges, showing deference to the Code despite evidence. One guy admitted under oath that he was a lifetime registered sex offender who continuously raped his little brother, served 8 years in prison, nonetheless was given visitation with his kids, while under investigation for having sexually assaulted his 13 yr old daughter. He complained that his wife did drugs for 12 years, but admitted he supplied her. Father of the year!

Then, the schizophrenic/ bipolar Mom with a history of suicide ideation, violence, arrests, institutionalization, currently on felony probation for attacking her 80 yr old step-dad, got weekend visitation with her 5 yr old daughter without supervision. She actually testified that what keeps her from murder/suicide is contact with her daughter to do her hair, nails, and go play at the park.

Open Thread - Thurs 19 Feb 2026 - They Gotta Be Kidding!

They Gotta Be Kidding!

Apparently RFK, Jr and Kid Rock just made a video highlighting them working out at a gym and then drinking milk in a sauna. They were shirtless, and the workout video is part of the Make America Healthy Again campaign. I’m sure it’s going to inspire a LOT of young people to work out after their, like, normal jobs which take up 8+ hours a day (not including the time spent getting there and back). Not that RFK, Jr or Kid Rock would know about that. Or maybe the video is to inspire us old people, who’ve retired and now can spend our time at the gym. I admit, I have gone to the gym in the past (since I was about 36 or so) and might do so again in the future, because I like working out, at the gym and at home. I will go to the gym hoping against hope I NEVER see RFK, JR or Kid Rock shirtless at the gym… eww.

And, there goes our tax dollars!


Doing the plank with a dog! My kinda exercise even though I don’t do planks anymore, I’m too old! Gotta admit, I’d rather work (have worked) out with any of my dogs than RFK, Jr and Kid Rock. From this article about working out with your dog.
