I swear at some point I will do a thread of how awesome the Lego botanical sets are, but in the meantime, a new bouquet arrived in the mail. Here is a photo of the previous bouquet.

What Tom Homan and the rest of the Trump administration needs to understand is normally the Midwest would prefer to stay inside and only go out if we need things like groceries and you pissed us off so much that the entire Midwest is outside yelling at you.
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

It was fucking cold, and the snow was heavy, but the energy of this crowd warmed my heart.

I will admit one of the fun parts about writing science fiction on another planet is that you can just make up a whole new species of beetle that basically is a desert stink beetle but also has the bioluminescence capabilities of a click beetle.

Every Mamdani headline is like “city spent 87 million dollars on ‘toddler mangler’ which the new administration claims does not serve the public interest” and you read it and go no probably not, why’d we make that?

It’s hard to imagine someone more universally enjoyed than Catherine O’Hara where the opinions range from “I like her and her work” to “I love her and her work” and that’s a pretty good legacy

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”
A PROTESTant.
I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.
