Me: hey wife, I think you'll get this more than I will.
My wife: "<gasp> Birnam Wood comes from Dunsinane, Bitchessss!!! Hell yes!"

I just realized that in an alternate universe, Vice President Tim Walz was at the Olympics cheering on the Minnesota Olympians (along with all Team USA)

And dang, what a downer to have that realization.

Wondering if there are any D&D nerds in Litchfield MN who have made a "Lichfield" joke at some point in their lives.

@unwinder.bsky.social might know.

I bet @rthowitzer.bsky.social would watch it again with you.

Saving neighbors has been the inspiring thing about this mess.

Ai video doesn't have to be convincing enough to fool everyone, just enough to fool one senile old man.

I don't hold law enforcement in especially high esteem, but we gotta not give these dweebs an inch on ICE being "law enforcement." ICE breaks more laws than it protects, and what it protects is not the law, but a racist set of norms around who FEELS like a legitimate American and who doesn't.

Evil literally killed Good today. Oof.

My wife and I were having a lazy, blizzard-induced do-nothing day and this movie was just perfect for that. Absolutely a modern day lazy Sunday movie.

A lot has been said about the parts of Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves that reflect the actual beats of a home campaign, but probably the biggest one is that after defeating the big bad, they can't manage to make the schedules work to do the next campaign.

Since he was a Republican it'll probably just say that he had a huge dick he named Jerry

I think it's funny how many people shorten the name of the "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" to just the "Macy's Day Parade," as if the day belongs to Macy's or something.

A group of eight improvisers in jolly holiday sweaters, so I'm holding poinsettias smiles in front of a photoshopped background of a small idyllic town

If my improv group jorts! gets the most donations we are going to rename the rehearsal space at Strike theater "The Jarage". Please help us do this remarkably silly thing

Can't do it this year but maybe next?

I know I'm probably not supposed to like Threads on here but every couple weeks or so it randomly decides to show one of my posts to like 5000 people and that *does* feel pretty neat.

Was always so confused by salt to taste on raw meat

Today we are the same distance from the Star Trek Deep Space Nine episode "Trials and Tribble-ations" as that episode was from the original "The Trouble with Tribbles." #startrek

Something I kind of love about the #minnesotastatefair is how people will just jump into conversations they have overheard.

I went there on Friday and had strangers jump in on the conversation topics of:

1. The fierce Midwestern loyalty to meteorologists
2. Why we still buy physical media

How early do you wake up or have breakfast?

I feel like they should show a short adaptation of "Taylor the Latte Boy" before Wicked: For Good for a real mid-00s theater kid time

The fact that one of my college friends and a blogger I have been following for 15 years are interacting with each other like this blows my tiny mind

Yesterday a coworker told me "You are the only person I have seen use em dashes in their actual writing*" and honestly I'm taking it as a compliment.

*as opposed to AI writing

This seems kinda...wholesome?

It's amazing how lighter fluid is an objectively bad smell, and yet a whiff of it on the breeze and a head turn to see a charcoal grill brings up all kinds of wonderfully positive associations.

It is WILD how many years "in this economy?" has been a valid comic retort to a bold statement or minimally extravagant lifestyle choice.

Nah man I am team Chaos all the way! Keeps things interesting.

Were you a "same starter every day" kind of player?

What? Does this mean I should quit #wordle now???

A Libby hold record for "They thought they were free: the Germans 1933-1945" Placed 8 Feb, Your Library has acquired 26 more copies since you placed this hold

I feel like the fact that my library has acquired 26 more copies of "They thought they were free" since I put it on hold February 8 is a good summary of how we're all feeling right now.

Hurling is so fun to watch!
