Oh yes!

You know what is an unexpected joy? High quality paper.

New level of annoyance. Something stuck under the gum and sticking out but you can get it out of your mouth. I finally did. #Closure

Super Grover, in his helmet, red cape, and “G” emblem, offers a bowl of ice to a blue Muppet man in a suit, who glares back. A speech bubble from the man reads, “STOP BRINGING ICE SUPER GROVER! NO ONE WANTS ICE!” The scene is drawn in a vintage comic style.

I need Sesame Street to make this a reality next season.

Take off your masks sissies

My ketchup remnants are a face.

I made a phone stand.

This is my new favorite fidget toy.

Sitting criss-cross applesauce in an office chair is a special kind of joy.

If only Christian charity were as easy as accessorizing.

A side-by-side comparison image with the heading at the top: “Can you spot the difference?” Left side: A highlighted excerpt from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins reads: “Besides basic reading and math most of our instruction is coal-related. Except for the weekly lecture on the history of Panem. It’s mostly a lot of blather about what we owe the Capitol. I know there must be more than they’re telling us, an actual account of what happened during the rebellion.” Labeled in large text on the right of this section: “Excerpt from The Hunger Games” Right side: Two blocks of text with blue backgrounds show quotes from Donald Trump. The first section reads: “When he did choose to speak about education, he had this to say, per The Washington Post: Trump elaborated on his proposal to eliminate the Department of Education by describing what he envisioned the agency would look like: ‘I think you will have like one person plus a secretary. You’ll have a secretary. The secretary will have one person plus a secretary. And all the person has to do is: Are you teaching English? Are you teaching arithmetic? What are you doing? Reading, writing, and arithmetic. And are you not teaching woke? Not teaching woke is a very big factor. But we’ll have a very small staff.’” The second section is labeled “Patriotic education” and defines it as: (i) an accurate, honest, unifying, inspiring, and ennobling characterization of America’s founding and foundational principles; (ii) a clear examination of how the United States has admirably grown closer to its noble principles throughout its history; (iii) the concept that commitment to America’s aspirations is beneficial and justified; and (iv) the concept that celebration of America’s greatness and history is proper.

February and March are tricky months. Oh it's the 2/27 and you have an assignment due on 3/4. That's like 7 days away. WRONG! It's 5 DAYS! I think?

I send my wife flowers. She brings me food. It’s a good system.

The Cruelty Is the Point Trump and his supporters find community by rejoicing in the suffering of those they hate and fear.

Bwahahaha!! Kudos to MoonPie!

Here’s some advice for those outside our coalition, as the administration is actively leading a witch hunt for resistance members. If you’re a government employee, avoid using government devices to coordinate. Do not use standard messaging apps on Android or Apple devices.

Great point.

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation.

Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs.

Hello???

Flooding Trump and Musk’s zone How to deal with their tyranny

Millions of Americans — including many who have been purged from their positions of responsibility — are standing up to Trump and Musk’s tyranny. Congressional switchboards are ringing off the hook.

We are beginning to flood Trump and Musk’s zone. Let’s flood it out.

As the forces of hatred are on the march, my promise is this:

Our trans neighbors will continue to be safe, protected, and welcome in Minnesota.

The execution of Maximilien Robespierre; the person who had just been executed in this drawing is Georges Couthon. Robespierre is the figure marked "10" in the tumbrel, holding a handkerchief to his shattered jaw.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Today and the days to come. Do something to support those that have the hate coming to them. Buy a book from an author of color. Support a LGBTQ+ owned business. Frequent a local owned business that is a space space. Do not reward those that welcome the hate.

Dr. King spread a message of justice and persisted in the face of hatred.
 
His legacy calls us to serve each other and to continue striving towards a more inclusive and united Minnesota.
