11k. Mistyped.

Obama had wide margins at the same time Walker and R AGs were winning and the state legislature was tacking hard right. Go figure.

πŸ™„ WI has been purple for a very long time, lest we forget that Gore won it by 5,700 votes in 2000, Kerry by 12k in 2004, and Scott Walker subsequently got elected twice. And then he lost, Biden won, and Ds kept gov in 2022. We know who we are. Apparently everyone else forgets real fast.

But what if she's *lying*

I keep getting stuck on this idea that dudes think their dicks are so magical they'll ruin a woman for anyone else. Pro tip: they are not.

I don't think a lot of women are going to think it crosses into funny.

Nearest for me is one great-grandparent. So I guess that makes me fourth generation.

Msn knitters guild canceled our knit-in the week before that. I was looking at what we'd have to pay instructors if we let it go any longer before making the call and arguing hard for it. A couple of folks said I was overreacting but we canceled anyway. And then Dane shut down, so.

I shout "Go Badgers!" by default and then get confused about who I'm actually cheering because there are a number of them on both teams (including Hilary Knight)

Not a justice department attorney. A JAG that they borrowed. For whatever that's worth.

Lost in 4 straight after going undefeated in the playoffs. 😭 too much time off while they waited for the AL to catch up. My parents were at one of the games, my rally towel has a place of honor on my knickknacks shelf.

WI poll worker checking in! Happy to report zero shenanigans so far in today's primary at my city's biggest polling place.

Also I have looked at three different federal government websites and all three of them have different apostrophe placement.

A screenshot of the Mohela student loan website. It includes an announcement for Presidents' Day, that their offices will be closed on Monday, February 18. Due to the federal holiday weekend, payments may take up to five days to post two accounts. This delay will not change the effective date of the payment.

Remembered I still have to pay my student loans this month.

Not quite sure how to feel about the fact that Mohela and/or the Dept of Education don't know what year it is

I'm gonna guess student loans play a role in that. I have a mortgage's worth and no house. But I get rid of them at some point this year.

Five for me with a handful of "depends," because I will eat eggs scrambled but that's it, and I will eat deep-fried or grilled shramps but not cocktail shramps, etc.

I remember it going back to 9/11 and I cannot understand why anyone thinks it's about to happen when it's been all this time and it hasn't yet

Like does anyone actually think any state would legislate this

WI runs them at the polling places in most municipalities; there are some exceptions (notably Milwaukee, which does central count), but they still can't run them till Election Day.

It's fantastic for those fancy Nordic Ware pans with all the nooks and crannies. I'm not a science person but I can imagine the fun!

Bakers Joy does the same in an easy spray can fashion for those of us who are too lazy to grease AND flour in separate steps

Last week I spelled my name for someone on the phone. They immediately repeated it back incorrectly.

Legal ethics and personal ethics aren't always the same thing. We have a duty of competence in the courtroom regardless of how we feel about the client.
