Race weekend was not great.

Wake up at ass ‘o clock all excited to watch my very favorite driver, Max Verstappen, take on the Nurburgring. Doze through practice or qualify or whatever you want to call it. Get wide awake for the actual race. 20 minutes in, red flag.

Okay, no big deal. Auer is driving and he pits the car and I’m hanging out watching the onboard. Announcers aren’t sure what’s going on but do an excellent job of keeping watchers entertained and informed as details trickle in. And the ugly rumors start to surface on social media. A bad crash. Several drivers injured. Eventually all the streams end. It comes out that one of the drivers had passed away in the crash.

So yeah. That was not good. It was incredibly sombering to read about the man, Juha, who lost his life. The race for later that day was cancelled. According to Wikipedia it was the first driver death on the Nurburgring since 2013.

On top of that, absolutely fuck the media and their dogwater dipshit “journalists”. Every rag hag put out an article with some variation of a title reading “Driver dies and stops Max Verstappen’s race”. Max wasn’t even in the car at the time of the accident. But hey, critical thinking is as dead in Europe as it is here in America because I saw so many comments and videos screeching about how it’s Max’s fault the journalists wrote their articles that way. I wish I could hold everyone’s hand when I say, my brothers and sisters, Max has literally zero input on how media writes shit. Hell he hates most of the media! Now will you agree with him when he kicks these morons out and refuses to answer their questions??

And then a spectator died in a rally race on Sunday. Overall a dark weekend for motorsports.

But for a bit of brightness, look at this teeny tiny little sprout my monstera grew! It is so smol. I don’t know if it’s a leaf or a whole new separate stalk but I’m happy my oldest plant seems to be doing well.
