Sounds great! Holler if you can do dial a friend!

I am happy that there is no moral or legal imperative to have to choose. I love 3 of them.

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

How Minnesotans Faced Down MAGA The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

Minneapolis residents aren’t just pushing back against Trump’s crackdown—they’re undercutting MAGA’s core philosophy, Adam Serwer argues.

I remember enjoying the movie as a high school senior. Loved the song. But lots can change in 50 years.

Called it!

Live theatre. The Hound of the Baskervilles at Majestic Theater in West Springfield. Delightful evening.

Me either, but I am intrigued. Most of my favorites are on the list though. Looking to see if the author is British which may explain some

In Search of the Lost Chord

Me too!

Read a novel once where imprisonment was televised. Then the skin is dyed according to the crime. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_Sh...

Was not a fan of the Diggs acquisition. Am totally a fan now. Impressed.

The Ukrainian "Shchedryk" (Carol of the Bells) performed by a Swedish choir.

​The choir’s director, its pianist, and several young singers are Ukrainian. The rest of the members are foreigners who learned our legendary "Shchedryk" in its original Ukrainian for this special performance.

Read this for a library book club (including a live talk by the author). Someone in the book club suggested Station 11 by Emily St. John Mandel. I read that next and it was the best back-to-back book experience ever.

Even better than usual - and 'usual' is already pretty darn good.

One Pie pumpkin pie is the best!

Bought my son a small cooler so he could take food home after our early Thanksgiving.

Guy I was seeing freshman year of college played this album every Friday afternoon.

Uplifting to read today.

Same. Can't give them up.

Fondly remembering how, just five years ago, nurses were considered essential workers and officially categorized as such.

Now they have been uniformly demoted to nonprofessional status.

I once basically had my kitchen redone redid after flubbing a faucet fix. I was really happy with the the pro work and the new faucet!

Almost Gronk-esque with his YAC

I play online trivia and there are some hosts that are pokey and it feels the same. We need our sleep!
