Baked Linguini

We've been hammered with several 100+ degree days (that's not the "feels-like" temp; that's actual). We haven't done anything outside all week. We just hid indoors in the AC, which could not keep up in the hottest part of the afternoon. I don't know if our AC unit isn't large enough (hard to believe), or if it's just the thin, crappy walls and single-pane windows (very easy to believe). I guess we just live with it as we have no money to replace either the windows or the AC. C'est la vie.

There is a new movie that is setting box offices on fire. Sound of Freedom is based loosely on the true story of Tim Ballard who quits his HSA job after being pulled off a sex trafficking case. In spite of Hollywood/Disney doing everything they can to suppress this movie, it did $10 million in pre-sales before it opened on July 4th and it still has legs (unlike the latest Indiana Jones movie...). The question we need to ask ourselves is why Disney would try to squelch a movie about stopping child sex trafficking. Given the number of child sex rings that have Disney employees among those arrested, you really have to wonder. Add in the latest spate of Disney/Pixar movies with open homosexuality, trans, non-binary, or whatever other sexual deviance you can think of, and I think parents need to think long and hard about the amount of Disney in their kids lives. (If there are any evangelicals from my former life still reading this, I'm looking hard in your direction.)

That's it for today.
