The MN DNR published their grouse mgmt plan in 2011 with an Aldo Leopold quote on the front page. Google Scholar has decided that A Leopold wrote the paper. In 2011.

Our Fleet Farm was playing polka music exclusively today and I'm not sure if its for a special occasion (ha!) or just the new normal, but I approve!

As with S3 Ted Lasso & now with Tay's new album... its wild people think that someone else's art is meant to align with their own desires. This thing someone else made is a GIFT. You aren't owed anything! Enjoy it, think on it, feel things, but don't get mad if it isn't exactly what you wanted!

Boomer Dad made a remark about Bad Bunny @ the Super Bowl (he does not *actually* care about this but people have convinced him this is a Big Deal) so I said, what's the biggie? You liked Richie Valens' "La Bamba" back in the day & you didn't know the words to that song and it never bothered you?

Imagine doing a whole multi-year statewide study assessing if beavers warm trout waters, finding out that in most cases they don't, and then STILL wanting hardcore anti-beaver policies in the state?

"These bitches be tight like bra straps" GOD I love you Cardi B

How are we in a place where shipping for a pair of earrings from Canada is +$20???

This Xennial is never not thrilled to see how women's sports has changed. Once upon a time makeup & embracing your femininity was a sign you weren't serious about your sport, that you were more concerned w/ looking cute than being good. I love that we've moved past that & these women get to be both

Not my provider office spamming me for a week with appointment reminders for a telehealth visit only to have the provider be late to the appointment.

New Taylor AND Florence + The Machine in October? Fall really IS for the girlies.

Look, as someone who (clinically) needs more dopamine, Taylor Alison Swift and Travis Michael Kelce are good for my health.

People of the Midwest! Menards has a TWELVE FOOT TALL WENDIGO for sale this year and I need everyone to buy one. I want to win the lottery and have a horde of them coming out of our woods.

Zero obligation y’all but my brother in law is facing a really crappy situation: he has aggressive lung cancer despite never smoking & needs a double lung transplant. The catch? He & his wife have to move to Chicago for a year for surgery and treatment (they live in Mn). Any help is so appreciated!

My favorite take-away from Happy Gilmore 2 is that the Adidas tear-away pants I rocked in college (circa 1997) are back in the game.

The time between when you are ready and your guests actually arrive is one of the levels of purgatory and you cannot convince me otherwise.

And I'm always so happy to see the Lionesses do so many things their male counterparts can't...

SERIOUSLY. These Euros Games have been amazing... women's soccer/football is so damned much fun to watch!

That goal! In stoppage!

Penalty kicks are the most stressful (and best) way any sport decides a tie.

Can we just not rebuild in these floodplains this time? Please?

I need tech folks to stop naming their new processes after animals... its making lit searches annoyingly cluttered. Please and thank you!

It’s his MO at this point…

Also! The climate of youth sports is completely out of control and some of these kids are being forced to pick soccer or baseball at, like 10, which is insane. How many amazing soccer players have we lost to another ultra-competitive, ultra-time consuming sport? We've got to fix that too.

Typical Alexi... gets some of it right and then bombs it all with another idiotic take.

A morning spent in a newly found beaver pond is always an A+ day... seeing a pair of river otters while we were out there? Magical.

Not this year (I presented last year, I'm sure they wanted some new faces!)... hopefully next year!

And to @bengoldfarb.bsky.social thank you for the inspiration. It is wild to think what a profound impact Eager has had on my life. With any luck these findings will help change the fates of beavers in Wisconsin. Here's hoping! 3/3
