In eXile. Love books and coffee, and since I last updated my profile, smoked meat and pizza.

Definitely read that as a Serie A hater and I was disappointed in how late you were to the game. πŸ˜‚ Reading comprehension - it matters πŸ˜‚

Check out Cooking Fast and Slow (the milk street instapot cookbook) from the library and try their recipes. We ended up buying a copy and use it 1-2x a month, but it’s worth grabbing it and seeing if it’s your speed. (It’s at both the central library and tosa)

And here’s the thing - lead poisoning negatively polarizes pretty quickly. I live in Milwaukee, and our Republican state leaders have made it a point that Milwaukee needs to clean up its own lead problem - no handouts from the state. It can quickly become a wedge issue and flip pretty quickly.

This is extreme, but there is much more truth to this than the cap backers would care to admit.

Nah. We ride again next spring. I believe in you Mike, just like I believe in our ability to lose in the most painstaking fashion.

Glad we’re all feeling equally bad about our chances right now. This San Diego series is giving me 2021 NLDS PTSD.

We are very excited for him to join us in Milwaukee soon. Please take good care in the interim, and we’re sorry our organization is seeking profit over history.

Paul, I ask this in sincerity. It seems like he may have lied on some immigration forms (according to the story) which seems like it often has this outcome. Is there something about this story that makes it particularly egregious, or is this just the general inhumanity of the system?

Thanks for getting out in front on this congresswoman. I appreciate the clear statement and affirmation of American principles. Please keep up the pressure however you can.

Just so everyone understands - Bill Simmons is a famous fan of a basketball team called the Boston Celtics. He is also known for his passionate sports takes on his podcast. His team has lost two playoff games in a row in similar and shocking fashion, so we’ll want to see his reaction.

This may be the most niche post you’ve ever had, and as a milwaukeean I love it.

Imagine that you see the wretched strangers,

Their babies at their backs and their poor luggage,

Plodding to the ports and costs for transportation ...

What's going on with Elon Musk? - Search Engine Search Engine investigates the erratic behavior of the world’s wealthiest man with Hard Fork’s Casey Newton.

I didn’t know you were pretrib.

He also may think it’s part of his role in the world to bring our AI overlords into the world, so, you know, fits the vibe (Search Engine did a whole episode on Musk in 2023 that was … eye opening: pca.st/episode/c71a...)

It looks like it may be a fake tweet - I’m posting a screen cap of the person who did some research because I can’t figure out how to quote tweet it in. So while it may be wise to delete your account, but maybe not for this specific β€œtweet.” πŸ˜‚

So my redeemed allows for connection without dependency and addiction. I respect your thoughts on the topic though - why do you think they don't make the cut for the life after?
