This is the CRAY CRAY BONKERS MCBONKERSPANTS oceanfront mansion of Hawaiian Tropic founder Ron Rice, and this is #FridayNightZillow, back for at least one more night! $5.9999M. 12K sf. Florida, of course! (Warning: Taxidermy & risqué artwork). Let's GO!🧵zillow.com/homedetails/17…?
These chairs are insane. Everything about this room is insane. Zoom in at your own risk. #FridayNightZillow
Like I said, there's a LOT of taxidermy here. And marble. And ocean. And cringe-y photos of models everywhere. #FridayNightZillow
Master bedroom has nice ocean views, velvety carpet, a crazy shoe chair and, uh, excellent TV placement. #FridayNightZillow
!!!!! This is a bathroom !!!!!
Need to ice my retinas. Be right back. #FridayNightZillow
Nice open concept shower and sweet hot tub behind the sauna. Oh, and there are mirrors on the ceiling. It's got some Florida Playboy Mansion vibes. #FridayNightZillow cc: @CocaineDecor
So you've got a pool, a hot tub and a lap pool that goes under a bridge here. And, of course, more of the risque sculptures. #FridayNightZIllow
I forgot to mention the crazy bathroom actually has 2 hot tubs. Because, yeah. Deducting points for that pink/salmon color and the black toilet. #FridayNightZillow
The listing says multiple PAST US PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES have been to this mansion. No we really need to know WHO. I mean, we can guess, but... #FridayNIghtZillow
Of course that room has a gold ceiling. It also has a glass box elevator sort of like Willy Wonka. Either you love this sort of thing or you might be experiencing a migraine right now (sorry!) #FridayNIghtZillow
On the outside it's sort of a normal mansion. But is that razor wire? #FridayNightZIllow
Apparently it wasn't razor wire, just electric cord violations. Btw, here's some backstory on the late Ron Rice, including the silver bucket he mixed Hawaiian Tropic in via @bubbaray90
Fixer-Upper of the Week. This beauty is just $35K. But it's a total gut job on the inside I'm afraid. Pulaski, Illinois, you're on #FridayNightZillow! zillow.com/homedetails/40…
This one is already pending but thought you'd like to gawk at it. $5.9M. Inspired by the Farnsworth House. They used 60 tons of steel for this thing. Dallas. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/11…
Our Showstopper tonight is a 23BR, 15K sf Boston showpiece. The Ayer Mansion is "the only Tiffany-designed home in the world" per the listing. $14.995M. Needs more pics! #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/39…
My wife found our Showstopper tonight from her hospital bed. I hope #FridayNightZillow has been a pickmeup and break from reality for you as it has been for me. Most of the other homes tonight from my sister-in-law and tipsters.
Reminder that I've now got a Mastodon account, but haven't posted anything there yet. journa.host/@steventdennis

"What happens in jail stays in jail" lol. Jail-bar pillows are a nice touch. #FridayNightZillow
One of the scarier things I've seen on Zillow. Let's hope this is a prop and not an actual electric chair. #FridayNightZillow
Ozempic can be produced for less than $5 a month, a new study found, but Danish company Novo Nordisk charges Americans $968.52. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Bernie Sanders insisting the company charge Americans no more than it charges Canadians for the same drug.
Ozempic pricing page. Many people get discounts on this price, or have insurance companies (ie premiums) or taxpayers pay the bill. novopricing.com/ozempic.html
McConnell helped nix:
Roe
Campaign finance reform
Individual mandate
Medicare dental & vision
Dream Act
$35 insulin cap
Minimum wage hike
Flag burning amendment
Making Election Day a holiday
Public option
SCOTUS filibuster
Pro Act 1/6 Commission
Oil export ban
Cap&trade
Tax hikes
Vast majority of laws since 2007 have had either the acquiescence of McConnell or his outright support, with notable exceptions, like the Affordable Care Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, Obama stimulus, Biden Covid relief, Dodd-Frank, Lilly Ledbetter, USA Freedom Act, Paygo.
One way to look at McConnell is that he has often had the role of editor of Congress. Empowered by the filibuster and his conference, he had a key veto point in Washington; spending, taxing and legislating had to pass through his filter.
Could be a long night. Lindsey Graham said they are going to request voice votes individually on all 376 pending military nominations being blocked by Tuberville. Tuberville is blocking every one of his fellow Republicans’ requests. They are visibly angry.
Sullivan is seething with anger. Calls Tuberville’s blockade “a national security suicide mission”
Tuberville: “Madam President, I object”
Sullivan: “There goes another downgrade of our readiness.”
Rep. Mike Johnson and 37 Republicans released this statement ahead of the Jan. 6th, 2021 session of Congress on their plans to vote to block certification of the electoral votes of 4 states won by Joe Biden. mikejohnson.house.gov/news/documents…
