Well that was a fun and significant weekend. Gary Gray, (known in some parts as variously Wetmachine’s “quiet Beatle”, Wetmachine’s Cowboy Neal, Wetmachine’s Scotty (“I can no make Wetmachine go any faster, Captain, the di-lithium crystals are already overheated!”), etc, ) got married to the lovely and talented Marcia Levin. As I can attest with some confidence, having been best man.
Good show, old man!

Oh man, @ChristopherHahn just mopped the kitchen floor with Matt Gaetz and basically (truthfully) told him that he got people killed with his gas mask stunt a few weeks ago.
Here is the clip (of him getting destroyed 😂) https://twitter.com/acyn/status/1248439702652215296?s=21 https://twitter.com/acyn/status/1248439702652215296
