Dayton is going to re-earn the Governor Eeyore nickname if he appoints Smith. And no way Ellison or Omar pull enough votes in the metro to offset the jack pine savage vote of rural MN.

I’m not fancying it up, I grew up speaking French! It’s just a reflex to pronounce it “La KWAH.” The only way I can remember the correct pronunciation is by humming this song:

Currently re-reading the Handmaid’s Tale. It is bone-chilling.

I just explained the notion of tacking “Electric Boogaloo” onto any sequel to my 7 year old in hopes that she will pass on this element of culture to her peers.

Wisconsin still sucks.

I hope that venom is ethically sourced at least, and you don’t walk out of a salon with 500 bee butts dangling from your cheeks.

I find that people who grew up well off usually add some sort of exception “but my parents never told me how much we had so I didn’t grow up thinking we had money” or “but they always asked me what I was spending it on so it’s not like I had an unlimited account”.

Which, I mean, they aren’t wrong, but…

I will miss Samantha Power in this role deeply.

Kanye West doesn’t care about black people

Hell, Dubya’s gonna look like a fucking genius after 4 years of Trump.

Madeleine - Nicole & Keith have two daughters not one. I know most people only remember Sunday Roast but they have Faith Margaret as well.

Heh. Today, in Chicago (33 degrees and clear), I am wearing a sweater, a skirt, winter boots and no tights. I’m from Wisconsin — I don’t need tights until it hits zero, baby!

Michigander here. I’ll run outside as long as it’s double digits, and I actually prefer running in 20-30F weather to summer running. I do a run camp every year to train for a half marathon. Training starts mid-January.

I have a fascinating idea for a series called “Public Library”. Episode 1: a librarian with two advanced degrees is required to clean shit off the reading room chairs after management outsources the cleaning staff.
