Oh man, it was such a great show! It was a fun and moving surprise when she brought them out to end the show.

I love his videos when he actually posts them! I found his channel a few years back and have been hooked ever since.

But I actually think stuff like this would work! Rogue One was a pretty standard war movie that just happened to take place in the Star Wars universe. So why not make other genres or film styles with all of their own "rules" but set in this sandbox? Give me Heat but on Coruscant!

I used to work help desk at a factory almost 20 years ago and they still had machines on Windows 3.1 and even some on OS/2. It was wildly inconsistent. Meanwhile, everyone in the front office is being upgraded to 7.

Yes! It's such an underrated bourbon. Especially for the price.

I appreciate that they tried to flip the gender stereotypes. The execution was just sorely lacking.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

It is great now that the construction is finally all done. The Jacobson Plaza is especially cool. I run through there about once a week on my long runs, and it's a really nice addition.

Gen-X and older Minnesota folks, here's a bit of nostalgia for your Christmas gift.

Right?! By that metric, if we had started this under Clinton, like we should have, we would almost be to fully functional UHC at this point.

I heard about some guy who even bought the presidency with his HSA! It's crazy what they allow you to spend it on.
