Happily living in the second-most-liberal precinct in Minnesota, US. Mutts, veg stirfries, nonfiction, law geekery, & scent make my world.

I get that. The fact that his family has been through horrors makes him even worse. Forgiven, but maybe take down & rephrase?

No, really. I’m Jewish and notice things that were said in the 1930s. This is really a bad thing to say.

I love this video so much! I watched it dozens of times when it was first out. Thank you for reminding me to watch it again!

USian here who’s been trying to figure it out for decades. They’ve been horrid, selfish, and heartless all along, but the absolute lack of any trace of morals is beyond my ability to sort out.

Just like the Dems moving right never works (we don’t need two GOPs), TGT moving toward the bigots doesn’t, either. (We don’t need two Walmarts.)

The best thing they did in the last few years was to make a point of contracting with Black-owned businesses to help them grow and get national exposure post-GFloyd. There were some excellent new products! And they killed that with their anti-DEI mess.

The store near me was one of the first opened (in MN). Serious quality slide over the last couple of decades (same penny-chasing garbage as other public cos like Macys) but they never really came back from the pandemic. Still lots of empty shelves in 2024.

Oh, for sure β€” my hypersensitive nose got me interested in perfume but not in wearing too much. As for the elephant and civet coffees, guess I’m lucky to be poor-ish. 😁 Have you tried either?

I’m a perfume collector. I don’t have any that feature real ambergris, and very few with the synthetic. Besides the expense, few people favor the funk anymore. Didn’t know re elephant coffee - did know re civet coffee. *shudder*

7 texts from candidates today although I removed my phone number from ActBlue ages ago. Infuriating. I delete them all as junk. Especially infuriating are the TWO from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social who finds it appropriate to make nice with Cuomo the corrupt harasser. No chance, dude.
