Yeah. Growing up in an area where people were sparse—plains state for me—there’s no need to have blinds/curtains drawn unless it’s night or when the sun is beating down on the south side of the house in the summer. It was glorious. Moving to an urban area definitely changed that, though.

Frosted window film is the bomb. That is all. As you were.

“Recent foodie movement”? Where have you been for the past 20 years?

You take that back. We have some distinctive local pizza places in the Twin Cities. #NotAllFlyoversLOL

Your listening circle is infinitesimally small—likely a focus group of one (you)—if you haven’t heard this from anyone else.

Except that Facebook is real particular about what comments you can report as offensive, vs not. I’ve run across entire threads disparaging black people and not been able to report a single racist comment as offensive. Seen the same, regarding anti-Semitic comments, anti-Arab comments. Fair system my motherfucking…

Asshat, it looks like a grievous thoracic or lumbar spinal injury. It’s not leading with the head that causes that sort of injury. I’m married to a former pro athlete who suffered that type of injury 9 years ago and is fortunately up and around. Take your fucking concern trolling and clearly uninformed cheap shots…

Keillor’s never been relevant in a good way. Idolized by smarmy midwesterners and the NPR set is not a descriptor I aspire to. The only good thing I will say about the man is that he booked some great talent on his show from time to time. That’s it.

Because I had a career (briefly) in opera, I’ll vouch that it’s not normal to include tongue in stage kisses. Unless, of course, it’s discussed beforehand and relevant to the level of amorousness or abandon the director wants to see. Discussing boundaries, where limits lie (or don’t) is part of responsible stagecraft.…

I see the barely-sentient toothpick moved something off the ground. Mr. BobHopesSexMachine’s deadlift warmup weight is 475.

Dear Our Very Own Little Berlusconi...er, Cheetolini....er, Mr. President:

Thank you for saying this (pizza joint comment): there is no scenario in which logic triumphs over batshit. It never happens. Ever.

April is by far the best birthday month. As an unrelated aside, exactly which orifice were you sneezing out of, Erik?

Three things.

Great moments in poop history? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sending you all the encouragement I can, which doesn’t mean a whole lot via the intarwebs. I feel for you. Please know that you don’t owe her a conversation when you’re not up to it. Unless she has an emergency, she can wait.

All the stars today, kingme, all the stars. Perfect clip placement.

Wilson is swine, but the church is filled with men like him. Trump is a mainline PCUSA Presbyterian—a “liberal”, “progressive” denomination compared to Wilson. The mainline isn’t calling him out, even though it’s the same denomination that claims past Democratic leaders, like Walter Mondale and the Dayton family.

I agree, but we are so far from that point on both sides of the aisle. Obamacare did nothing to help that—it only further entrenched the larger corporate, provider entitie$ that want to have their finger$ in the pie.

1. I’ve also had bad experiences (mostly minor to moderate annoyances that were mitigated by switching to different formulations, with a very rare DVT) with hormonal birth control, as have the majority of women I know. This has no bearing on whether or not this particular family of drugs should be OTC. Others have had…
