Drove west of the Twin Cities metro and caught the best of the northern lights tonight!

A ton of faves on here, but I give the edge to Let Me Blow Ya Mind, a song I get stuck in my head weirdly often. It still rules.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.

In 1965:

-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.

-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.

-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

Became a subscriber to support you and Katey, honestly no other reason, and stuck it out even after they fumbled and lost her. Now I’ll let it go. I can’t wait to see you thrive elsewhere.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

Best sales pitch yet! I’ve watched very little Marvel since Endgame and Spider-Man (whatever the last one was called), and the amount of material that has built up, and my zero interest in slogging through it, has made it easier to just say No Thanks to it all.

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"

Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

It is truly fucking wild how the introductory thesis of this argument is, "As we all know, men will find any loophole they can to be sex criminals and degenerates. My primary source on this is me, a degenerate."

We have a puppet of Russia as President. What an utterly disgraceful, shaming, abhorrent moment for this country.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or β€œcontroversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

If you are in the mood for a similar tense vibe (but less funny, unfortunately), and you have the right streaming services for it, Line of Duty is one of my faves. It’s British police internal affairs department investigating cases, with larger conspiracies going All. The Way. To The TOP!!!

10 years ago a single bathroom bill passed in north carolina received so much pushback from all angles that the fucking NBA boycotted the state btw. that’s where we were then versus now. cool cool cool

As many people are sayingβ€”less motivated, with a new show. If I see people taking about something for three days, I might add it to my list to watch sometime in the future. But if I keep seeing them talk about it, week after week, I’m more likely to jump on board in Week 4 or whatever.

Absolutely love these guys. I’ve seen opposing teams’ fans who end up watching the MN stream via the app (or…other means), then come onto the Wolves Reddit just to praise Grady and Jim Pete. ESPN also noticed how good Grady is…hoping we can keep him at least part time, for as long as possible.
