I like Milwaukee, beer, and center-left politics. I think cities are great but should be better; I also think suburbs are fine but should be better. You can get incredible food in every single American city these days. 🦌🍺 πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡Ό 🌐

I agree with almost all of it. I've seen some great shows at the Miller High Life Theater

Speed and red light cameras are good. They make streets safer. I got one ticket in DC around 2009 and made sure to be better after that.
One caveat, if they over-ticket (1 to 4 mph over and yellow lights), they will lose support from the public.

If lad lit was considered a thing, wouldn't authors like Hemingway, Michael Chabon, and Chuck Palahniuk be on the list?

I have a hardback copy of his book Griftopia in my basement that I got as a Christmas present but never read. He **did**, in fact, write a book about grifting.

Damn, yeah. That hits home. I want to read more/again, but just silly make myself do it.

Great news if she wants to divorce him, get half, and marry you.

Blind Melon is one of the most underrated bands of the 90s. They had one big hit (which I certainly love) but so many other great songs. I'll play their albums start to finish.

Damn, look at you!
I haven't shaved completely since 2010, but I've trimmed it pretty short many times.

You don't shave your neck at all? I can't handle the itchiness after a while and need to clean up my neck once or twice a week.
Did you shave the whole thing?

It's funny, but I feel like there must be a philosophy word for this concept. Some type of fallacy assuming that since you already have a kid, you must want more kids.

I think it'll be a Democratic year, and Normie/ Centrist/ Moderate Dems will be the winners because they are going to have to beat Republicans who have already won those districts.

I used Samsung's AI photo editor to remove unwanted items. Which is better? Original or Edited?

PSA: Two 3-piece cod meals and one 2-piece walleye from Culver's is way too much for two adults and two kids. Two 3-piece meals would have been more than enough.

One of my daughters just yelled at the other, "That's a lie! That's a bald-headed lie!!!"

In hindsight I think a generation of scholars and activists made a massive mistake in assuming that the conditions of (a, yes, deeply flawed in many ways) liberal democracy as the floor, the worst things could get, and so felt free to portray them in worst possible light. Whoops!

Oh wait, you knew that. It was @wisconsuds.bsky.social who was blissfully unaware.

Do you remember when people were talking about "manifesting" things? Like, thinking good thoughts made good things happen and thinking bad thoughts made bad things happen? That was The Secret, and it was promoted by Oprah.
