Consensus on mypillow before he went Full Metal Tragic seemed to be that they were… fine. Which is fine. It is sad that he tanked a successful business, and a lot of careers, on the altar of his obsessions. ---

> [@digs](#): > > Oh, there’ll be an 800 number to call to order one, any day now. Actually, I was thinking of a line from _Futurama_. Bender says something about waking up in a pool of your own blood and urine, and Dr. Zoidberg says, rather enviously, “oh, to have your own pool.” I was thinking that Lindell could reach a point where he’d be happy to still have jars to keep his urine in. Your interpretation works, too. ---

What would we have to do to have Trump pick Lindell as his running mate? I’d thoroughly enjoy the shitshow… …oh, wait, we could just tell Mikey that he’s the VP candidate, and send him out on his own to campaign! ---

He kept ranting about the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling there was widespread fraud. I must have missed that. Is there any basis to that claim at all? ---

Google gave me this, from 2022: “MADISON, Wis.

A Google search is coming up empty. Unless Lindell would like to be specific about his claim, a reasonable assumption would be that he is full of crazy shit. ---

Yet again, a Lindell book found its way into the donation bin of the library where I volunteer. I considered putting it in the “Fiction” section, but instead, I shelved it in “Humor.” When I was there yesterday, it was still there, for sale, in the humor section. ---

I’m guessing he’s talking about a decision made in 2022 by some Conservative judges deciding that since neither Ballot boxes nor allowing a family member to return a ballot were expressly authorized by law, then they are both illegal. Which some people took further to say that that means that all of the votes from those boxes in the 2020 election were illegal and so Trump won Wisconsin. > **[Debunking the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s Drop Box Opinion](https://www.democracydocket.com/analysis/debunking-the-wisconsin-supreme-courts-drop-box-opinion/)** > > Read the latest by Democracy Docket. ---

> [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > I’m guessing he’s talking about a decision made in 2022 by some Conservative judges deciding that since neither Ballot boxes nor allowing a family member to return a ballot were expressly authorized by law, then they are both illegal. This reminds me of lane-splitting on motorcycles in California. Lane-splitting is not specifically legal. i.e., There is now law that says riders can do it. But there is no law _prohibiting_ the practice. So lane-splitting isn’t technically ‘legal’ because there is no law that permits it; but It is al _not_ illegal, because it isn’t prohibited. It seems to me that a reasonable person would say, ‘Of _course_ allowing a third party to deposit your ballot in a ballot box isn’t specifically made legal in the law. It’s just common sense.’ It’s not specifically ‘legal’ because it’s not mentioned in the law. It’s just understood that it’s allowed because it’s common practice. Deeming ballots that are deposited by a third party ‘illegal’, and thus all ballots deposited in ballot boxes are deemed ‘illegal’, is like California passing a law saying that lane-splitting is prohibited, and thus all motorcycles are prohibited.
