We all know who the obvious heroes of 2020 are: the first responders, the people working on vaccines, the people who work the liquor stores when everything else is closed.
that's easy.
but what about the people who unintentionally make our lives better?
they didn't mean to do it - they just did - thru their mistakes.
for example:
-hilaria baldwin. she's a hero because she finally provided us with a story we all can laugh along with. Her pretending to be Spanish gave all of us a chance to poke fun of her, during the otherwise, worst news of the century. We needed her pretentious lies to make us smile.
she had a rough christmas, so we could have a fun one.
-the "karen" in the park. Remember that lady who called the police on the black guy because he told her to put her dog on the leash? So why is she a hero? Because her irrational misguided panic reminds us, that as humans, we all are capable of this.
Who hasn't snapped at people for no reason? or misidentified a culprit where there is none. The worst feeling you can experience, is when you falsely accuse someone of something. it's the worst. When someone else does it, remind yourself that you've done it too - and do it less. or not at all.
-Jeffrey Toobin. We don't need to rehash what he did. but what he did served as a red flag- or a reminder - that anything embarrassing can be accidentally recorded. in his case its humiliating.
but his humiliation now reminds millions of men - and women - to check your lap top after every zoom call. I check my computer when i'm filming anything now.
so you see what i mean by "unintentional heroes."
do you have any? i'd love to hear about them!

Martha may be eight-months old now, but she still loves her playpen and Bun buns. 🥰
I still don't have the heart to put the playpen away. Lol
Speaking of judges, here’s a story that I don’t think I have told before…
At one point I had a prosecutor in my criminal docket who had the same demeanor as Dan Fielding on “Night Court.” During one jail docket I called a defendant who had managed to pick up at least a dozen charges. I advised him of his rights, entered a plea of not guilty and asked the prosecutor (let’s call him Mr. Wilson) for a bond recommendation. Mr. Wilson replied, “Well Judge, since it appears that the defendant is intent on violating as many of the Kentucky Revised Statutes as possible, the Commonwealth recommends a bond of $25,000 full cash.” I said, “So ordered.” and as the defendant walked back to the holding cell he exclaimed, “Well suck my d*ck!” Mr. Wilson asked if I heard that, and I called the defendant back before the bench. I advised him, “Sir, I can’t help you with that, and Mr. Wilson can’t help you with that. But when you get back to the detention center ask around and...
