Huldra of the Hill

As a Minnesotan, THANK YOU. We are baffled as to why the rest of the country is still caping for that guy.

TRUMP: Okay, thanks for showing up to the interview, uh… Matt Wade?

MULLIN: MARKWAYNE. AS BOTH MARK AND WAYNE ARE NORMAL EARTH NAMES, MARKWAYNE IS DOUBLY NORMAL.

TRUMP: Great. Do you have any experience with illegal aliens?

MULLIN: NO I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ALIENS. I LOVE HUMANS. I LOVE NOSE HOLES.

Screenshot from Berlin Philharmonik biography on Dvorak: But first, Dvorak travelled to Spillville, a rural idyll in Iowa, during the summer of 1893. It had been founded by a Bavarian named Spielman. And was 350 km west of Chicago, surrounded by fields and inhabited almost exclusively by Czech emigrants. Dvorak, an enthusiastic railway fan, travelled by train: "We were there in 36 hours with the express train." When he arrived there, he immediately felt at home: "I played the organ in the little church often and with pleasure - the grannies were very happy to hear our Bohemian hymns again after so many years."

Screenshot from an MNHS article on Dvorak in the Midwest: "Although he yearned to return to Spill ille, Josef Kovarik remained with Dvorak during his eight months in New York, acting as his interpreter, music copyist, and general factotum and also serving on the conservatory staff. Reports differ about Dvorak's reaction to New York but for the most part he evidently adjusted well to the big city. Frequently accompanied by his faithful secretary, the composer conquered his dislike for New York traffic enough to pursue some favorite pastimes. These included feeding pigeons in Central Park, watching railroad locomotives and elevated trains, and walking aboard ocean liners at the docks. "He knew the day and hour what ships were arriving and departing, " wrote a biographer, "and prided himself on being able to address his letters to bohemia, stating exactly what ship they would be carried." Dvorak disliked social life -- even though he appreciated the desire of fellow Czechs and others to honor him -- because I felt him up too late. So did conducting concerts. Born and raised in a small country town, he always preferred to go to bed early to be able to gey up early for walks

burgess owens in the house, steve daines in the senate, ryan zinke in the house, and that's just this week; for a party who allegedly doesn't think they'll have to run for election again, there's a record number of them tucking tail and running

I bought a cat bed for the bathroom so my girl could do her lifeguard duty in comfort, but she insists on laying on my towel so I can’t use it without forcing her to move.

If you followed a bunch of Minnesotans due to the horrors I know your feed looks crazy rn

🚨AWOOOO FOR RENT RELIEF🚨

Awooooooooooo

they should invent a US politics feed where comments like "I have more information on this story, with sources" get upvoted above comments like "MELANIA POSED NAKED WHICH SCANDALIZES ME MORE THAN MASS MURDER FOR REASONS I WILL NOT BE UNPACKING, UPVOTE IF YOU AGREE THAT TRUMP IS FAT"

The history of the MAGA phenomenon is the history of one very stupid man trying — and largely succeeding — at the ultmate American aspiration: Yelling at the TV so hard about what it's showing you that the TV starts talking back to you, then gives up and shows YOU, instead

Searching for “men’s soap” is so funny, there’s a brand with “bourbon” and “gun smoke” options. No man I do not want to smell like I just shot up a Walmart because my wife left, who is this for

You can tell it’s Ramadan because Ilhan is actually being kind of gentle here. A month ago she almost killed a guy.

Meanwhile, in Minnesota, fancy gift store Patina has had to triple its stock of Minnesota merch because Patina shoppers (!) keep coming in demanding Minnesota pins and flags and scarves and everything. The state pride here is intensifying to like Quebec levels

Thank you for standing with MN and supporting our neighbors!

Every time I make a good gooey egg, I think of oviraptorosaurs like “Yeah, I get it, raid that nest.”

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.
