Madison Capitol on a beautiful, king-free day.

Today was another beautiful day in Madison, Wisconsin - sans kings.

When you’re allergic to pistachios, that’s a game you always lose.

We need to tax the rich! They’ve rigged the system for too long. Repost if you agree.

Fire. Canada is all fire.

Hey, Canada… you ok?

Apparently I was misinformed. Both about what you meant by “we” and “who won”, but it does look like we won.

Yay!

Yes. I definitely saw that you won.

Sorry.

Protest at the Capitol. No Kings!

Beautiful day in Madison, Wisconsin

Sorry, Dan.

I was on my newly refurbished deck (yay, Ace of Space in Madison, WI), and my iPhone 12 fell out and dropped between the slats, 12ft onto concrete. Hats off to the engineer who picked the glass. No damage!

Surprise concert!

I had some unexpected time in Rapid City and Chicago's own effigies.com/ appeared arranged by www.instagram.com/kipplecitypr....

Opener, Isolated South started it out.

Locals, Red 40, hit hard. Do it for the frogs!

Graveyard People and Chesterfield primed us for The Effigies

@amberruffin.bsky.social - just watched the most recent Have I Got News for You. You looked thrilled to be on stage with Griffin.

Someone chose the pairings for least on-air carnage.

I believe this is the, pretty clearly stated, supreme law of the land:

No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.

I’ve never rooted more for the end of the world. Thanks @scalzi.com

“When they try to close their accounts, you want to give them a credit card instead.”

Well done.

We’re trying.

Let’s build that Amtrak line to Madison already

Based on my listening so far, this year, the band I’m most looking forward to is Eleine. Specifically because of www.metal-archives.com/albums/Elein... which shows that metal will survive the collapse of the power grid.

Yay… That’s something to worry about…

Mad With Power Fest Heavy Metal, Arcade Games, and Mead!

I’m getting hyped for madwithpowerfest.com
June 6/7.

Thanks @lordsofthetrident.bsky.social

Voted!

This was an amazing series. Thank you. I attended both a high school and college with questionable mascots. One was corrected while I was there, and the other is now moot.

I was firmly on team biscuit, and am sad that didn’t work out.

We’re trying.

@scalzi.com, thanks for including Madison, WI in your cheese-centric book. I’m surprised DemocraCheese isn’t a real shop already.

Unfortunately, I have PTSD from The Long Earth and am filled with dread whenever I get to a chapter that that takes place here.

Yay! Madison survived the chapter!

“Madison, Wisconsin | The Fromagery”

@scalzi.com - I swear, if this ends with a nuke, I’m going to have to assume sci-fi in general has something against us.

Can You Feel the Punk Tonight, a punk rock celebration of the music of Disney. 8/19/25

I’ve never seen an event that screams @dansinker.com more than this. Madison, WI isn’t a long trip even.

“Pope Hilarius II”

@scalzi.com, am I going to have to learn some Catholic Church history today?

Huh… I guess I am. That seemed too convenient to be real. Well played.

Some books about things. Not good things, but good books.

Finished reading these.

Thoroughly enjoyed them.

Probably not a better person for having done so.

What *was* water?

Is this still a thing?

Amendment IV (4th Amendment – Search and Seizure)

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures…

It’s not clear that it is.
