Nope, I haven't.

Behold my most excellent Skippy Burger from Skippy's Burger Bar in Thiensville, Wisconsin. Homemade chips and dip on the side. Dinner on the way to seeing Cyndi Lauper at the AmFam main stage on the Summerfest grounds in Milwaukee.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

He lost an election and refused to accept the results.

He forced the Smithsonian to lie about American history.

He fired the head statistician bcuz he didn’t like the jobs numbers.

He can’t handle the truth. We elected the biggest pussy/coward/sore loser in all of human history.

In which morons representing Wisconsin -- Tiffany, Grothman, Steil and Callahan, the latter pedaling furiously on training wheels -- line up to blame Canada, and not climate change.

‘They control everything’: How the Dallas Stars monopolized Texas youth hockey Ice is power in the lucrative world of youth hockey. In North Texas, the Dallas Stars hold almost all of it.

The NHL's Dallas Stars bought up all the ice rinks in the Dallas metro area, in several cases got taxpayer money to build the rinks, and now control ice time for youth hockey, jacking up club fees and forcing leagues to play by their rules. Wild story.

Good read for those of us who remember when it was AM, then FM.

There are sources of hope all around us. Find them. Cling to them. Never give up. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-hope

Opinion | Primaries are good for Dems John Nichols: Over the past 50 years, primaries have rarely if ever been an impediment to Democratic Party prospects in Wisconsin.

Primaries are not a threat.

They are measures of political strength and dynamism for Democrats in states like Wisconsin.

Dem Govs Pat Lucey in 1970, Tony Earl in 1982, Jim Doyle in 2002 and Tony Evers in 2018 all won their initial terms after contested primaries.

Competition made them stronger.

Everyday the Dems are not saying that it constitutes a moral crisis to have an alleged kiddie raper in the oval office, is a failure. Everyday they aren't calling for the release of all unredacted files or mocking Maxwell's forthcoming lies about Trump's innocence (just loves kids!) is malpractice.

It's very important for the future of this country that the slitheriness of this snake be exposed, repeated, and amplified as often as possible.

the USA built a system of higher education so good that smart/rich people from across the world came here, spending billions to learn here, subsidizing education for Americans while spending money to live in our cities and towns. our government arbitrarily decided we should stop doing that

At this point, Nixon comparisons don’t do Trump’s level of corruption justice. Donald Trump makes Richard Nixon look like Mr. Rogers

This interview is so clear & quietly devastating. Public media as we understand it is over.

This is not about the end of NPR & PBS. They might be able to find ways to continue to make programs. Instead of content, this is about the capacity to broadcast at all - antennae, transmitters, licenses. 🧵

A promotional copy of Billy Preston's "Can't She Tell" single from 1966 on the Capitol Records label, plus a 1976 3D baseball card for George Scott of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Long ago, my friend @funky16corners.bsky.social tipped me to "Can't She Tell," a Billy Preston-Sly Stone single from 1966. I tipped my friend @billzuka.bsky.social to it. Bill found promo and Capitol swirl label 45s and sent me the promo 45 ... plus this sweet George Scott 3D card from 1976! Dig it!

Minneapolis ought to take as much pride in its softball fields as the rest of Minnesota shows in its lovingly maintained town ballparks.

We see on the foreground left the back of the right side of a man standing. To the right, a beautiful woman in a a khaki dress and shirt or coat. And on the far right is Doc Savage wearing white chaps boots, and a blue sleeveless colored shirt to reveal his massive manly muscles as he says, “… That is far too many references to MICHIGAN to be near COINCIDENCES – – LOOK OUT!!“ He and the woman react to the loud THUD sound effect, and something starting to break through the floor at their feet.

Perhaps — and hear me out here — going high when they go low isn’t really working.

The rest of the story: This young lady went on to study journalism at the University of Oregon, graduating 10 years ago. She's since worked in Chicago as a marketing writer and editor.

You could look it up, Channel 2.

Great work, John Roberts. You’ve played a key role in wrecking our beloved country.

Good.

The only acceptable “deal” is to say you’re gonna let Trump’s nominees go through but then object anyhow.

Well, there’s one other acceptable deal which is to tell them to fuck off.

Sorry but he famously unretired to keep playing in his mid 40s after earning so much money he could provide for several generations of Brady.

And his wife left him for doing so because she had put her elite supermodeling career on hold during her peak earning years to raise his children.

Good.

Absurd framing. How hard is it to say, “Trump Responds with Lies and Vengeance.”

Been happening here in Wisconsin for more than a decade. Beyond disgraceful that we've been the national test lab set up by Scott Walker and his co-conspirators in the Legislature.

This is how minority rule happens.

who told us about her? her VICTIMS, you disingenuous hack.

it takes a lot to gast my flabbers these days but even i can’t believe they’re seriously gonna try this revisionist history shit about a woman who aided and abetted in the rape of children.

I think I've read "The Franchise," but if so, it was a long time ago.
