The Juicy Lucy (or Jucy Lucy as Matt’s bar spelled it) is a burger stuffed with cheese so you can burn your tongue real good.

Tastes like shame and depravity

Single frame. Title: “It’s simple” Sussan Let at podium flanked by David Littleproud and Angus Taylor. She says, “Net zero is not worth the cost*” Below podium is text: “*not counting the cost of: extreme weather events; mass displacement of people from low-lying areas; increased insurance premiums; habitat loss and species extinction; loss of certainty for business; worsened air quality; lack of investment in low-emission technologies; continued subsidisation of fossil fuel industries; loss of food security; (trailing beyond frame) increase in heat related deaths and infectious…”

The cost.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

On the bright side, I’m prepared. It’s just funny that nobody else seems to be. There was plenty of information out there about what Huron actually does. It’s like Trump voters acting surprised. A year ago I joked maybe I should buy some stock in Huron. I wish I’d listened to myself.

“What is a woman” was always a dumb attempt at a gotcha but at this point it’s clearly expired

Huron Consulting has begun its work at the U of MN and today, my bosses are shocked to discover that this is about cuts, not efficiency. It’s a hollow “I told you so” for me.

If I’m so smart, well, would anyone like to hire me? Come ~Feb/March, my job will be either gone or unlivable.

Back up a minute. We have more in common than differences? We need to respect each other? We? Sounds like she’s all out of ammunition and thinks if we ALL call a truce she can sweep all her shit under the rug.

I see kids in my neighborhood running around free-range, playing basketball or fishing in Minnehaha creek, and it makes me glad. Real-world time is much more satisfying than screen time.

We don't have enough people doing what they can but I am so grateful to those who are. Thank you.

Actually taking the time to make the call, send the letter, show up to the meeting, write the check, go to the protests, do actual mutual aid. Thank you.

If they come for our cannabis, it will be the absolute last straw, because how else are we supposed to relax enough to sleep in today’s world?

St. Paul 🤝 electing women

Women will hold St. Paul mayor’s office and all city council seats for the first time in its history.

Illinois has this too. I don’t like hunting either but I really don’t like the number of roadkill deer I’ve seen on this road trip

Okay. But can I put stickers on the bottom that say “vote blue”

Senator Mike Lee and Rep Pete Stauber are trying to turn the Boundary Waters into a surveillance zone.

I hope you make absolutely sure that they KNOW it was you, not the republicans, keeping food on their tables.

A desperate need for external validation, apparently

Now once again trying not to think about the lady who called blueberries “bloobs”

I follow a high-fiber diet to prevent diverticulitis. It works for that. Otherwise I feel no different but I’m happy for you. My favorites: tempeh, farro and kale salad, misir wot (Ethiopian lentil stew), Chana dal (or anything with chickpeas)

What I Got Right About The Iraq War On the 20th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, it’s important for us as a nation to reflect on that conflict and its consequences. As the vice president of the United States in 2003, I was one ...

This imagined defense by Cheney ("What I Got Right About the Iraq War") from The Onion in 2023 ought to run as a sidebar to every obit that's published this week: is.gd/mzdB9j

The Vast Reach of Right Wing Disinformation In one of my previous essays, I explained how very much in denial most Americans are about the extent to which our nation is immersed in…

Yes. The problem is, most media are Right Wing now.

So many ppl hear pretty lies about T/GOP & ugly lies about Dems & vote as if the lies were true.

Aw, gross. It’s been a problem at some apartment buildings too, to the point where some managers here are using DNA testing like PooPrints to find the culprits. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when I found out about that.

The first time I saw a doodoo baggie on the walking path I thought, “were they lost? Are they coming back for it once they find a trash can?” I was that naive.

Now I’m the someone who carries the baggie to the trash can.

Sometimes this feels metaphorical.

Well well. Look who else is yelling at Democrats to dO sOmEtHiNg

I was feeling kind of bad that I hardly have any friends but this reframes things a bit I guess, thanks.

The work gossips told me who voted for Trump, and even knowing that is hard to take. They have fine personalities. I look at them now like as if the body snatchers got them.

I like Mary and I’m a big Loppet fan. Just got a text from Dowgwillo and Forney, but nope, my vote is already in the mail.

Why they gotta ruin everything

Some of my parents’ friends used to come by with shot glass necklaces. Fun times

Remember Melania clearly said in her book that she believes women should have the right to choose. It’s ok because she’s not going to fight for it. She knows her place.

Or of course, if they agree with their husbands, then they can speak out.

Remember Teresa Heinz Kerry? Oh no, a foreigner! But they didn’t really hate her until she gave speeches about her dream that “opinionated” women would be seen as “smart and well-informed just like men.” Conservative women set the example they want. They keep their opinions quiet.

My vote’s in the mail!
