DeSantis proves he is a loser.

When I first arrived in San Francisco from the UK years and years and years ago - one of my favorite late night haunts was Hamburger Mary’s. Life moved on - didn’t go anymore and never really thought about them until this morning when I read that they took DeSantis to court and won over one of his stupid ‘laws’.

🔗 To be clear - Mary’s has grown into a franchise of independent operators - it was the Orlando one that took him to court.

If you are reading this post on my site, you will see that this link is rendered as an embedded video at the bottom of the post. (THANKYOU @rknightuk]. It will render just fine - unless the video owner wants you to watch it over on YouTube (and to be fair - there are very good reasons for that). If that happens, click on the link above and you will be taken to YouTube. The 'error' is only because the creator wants you to got to YouTube to watch it. That said - on rare occasions, it might actually be broken. If it is - sorry about that - try sending me an email and I will check if I made an error.

So, I accept the fact that I might not be here tomorrow, but having said that, having come through it you feel great. It gave me a completely new outlook on life, that it could all end tonight while I’m asleep, so let’s make the most of today. Let’s make the most of now!
