State constitutional offices are up for election this year. Know what that means? We are in an absolute hell of dreadful television commercials. Our useless trumpian attorney-general is running for governor, and his campaign says very little about what he'll do for Kentucky, instead putting forward half-truths or outright lies. On the gambling side, we're treated to Kevin Hart's little-dude-yelling shtick, and that was old long before Draft Kings or whatever hired him to be their spokesman. Bleah.<br /><br />Today was the NFL's first full day of the 2023 season. The Bengals got manhandled by the Browns, and the Ravens got an opening week win. There was an Indycar race at Laguna Seca, too, and that was a joy to watch. Laguna Seca's one of my favorite tracks in Gran Turismo, and it's just a beautiful facility. Scott Dixon won, after an early penalty and a <em>lot </em>of cautions. <br /><br />Jesus Christ, NBC still uses the country-pop person for their Sunday night game intro. I love you, television remote mute button. Looks like we're going to be spared any kind of WTC attack commemoration - since the game is at New York - well, East Rutherford, New Jersey - I figured we'd get that. Again.<br /><br />Gods, I'm just a ray of sunshine this evening.</span></span><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=tracker7&ditemid=506663" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
