She bought a ticket to Mexico to attend a friend’s wedding. She claims it was in anticipation of being found not guilty. There was no disguise as far as I am aware. The judge said that that incident had nothing to do with his decision. ---

Could we trade Elizabeth Holmes to Russia for the reporter they arrested, Evan Gershkovich? The Russkies must covet her nanotechnology skills. ---

> [@hajario](#): > > She was supposed to report to prison to tomorrow but an appeal will keep her free for another month. That will give Liz just enough time to get her new blood testing machine to work, vindicating her and demonstrating to the world just how wrong they all were about her! Or, she’ll don a black wig and attempt to flee to Venezuela. Either way, it’ll be a staggering work of genius worthy of multiple biopics. Stranger ---

> [@carrps](#): > > Can your provide introductions? I love going to Inverness for the barbecued oysters. My introductions to Deep Ones and their human cultists tend to come at several thousand feet per second, preferably at long range and high impact. I once made the mistake of trying to megotiate a truce with their kind, and as a result we had to immolate much of the South New Jersey seashore from Cape May up to Ludlam Island. Even then, their traces remain, and they have deep tendrils in the Atlantic City casino industry… Stranger ---

You don’t show up to a meeting of Cthulhu’s minions with your dick in your hand.
