Hey Tom, I live in south Mpls and yes, it has been scarily chaotic, violent and insane here with 3000 ICE agents swarming the twin cities compared to the 600 cops each city has-The stuff they are doing is so aggressive & crazy, I’m wondering if they’re all on speed like Nazis in WWII? Just a thought

I thought “my mother the car” was a dopey stretch that meant the tv universe was completely out of ideas.

Same, same, and the glowing black & white was more glowy than earthly black & white.

His accent on podcasts is so much more east-coasty then I expect; he’s like the dock worker’s Poindexter.

If I see that worn out, Kristy Noem, repeating her phony mantra of “those officers go out every single day and risk their lives to keep people safe”, I will punch a hole in my iPad screen.

My imaginary room was from a hallway in an old timey British bed & breakfast, where the person prying was in the hallway, not trying to pry open a door, but rather taking a crowbar to where the floor and the wall on the outside meet, straining to pry it up -and I could see light spilling through!

Nope it’s like this: never ever ever vote for another Republican before 2040- it’s the only way to disinfect the rotting wound they have inflicted upon us. Give no chances. It’s safer that way.

“Pry open some room” such a weirdly worded but perfect turn of phrase that while reading it I was in the mental throes of actually SEEING someone trying to “pry open a room”-Good lord man, as the daughter of writers I tell you there are about 3 of us on earth who will appreciate what a gem that was!

Nobody ever called YOU “pompous”, did they?

I think I was 32 years old when it DAWNED on me that “HEY! Those flying monkeys were ACTORS!” I mean, it’s not like I actively thought about the flying monkeys-In fact I did NOT think about them but I allowed them to be “real” in my childhood and then 20 years later went “oh hey! no they are not!”

The fact that you had to (still have to) explain this to people continues to boggle my mind as it did 5 yrs ago when I read (listened to while painting the interior of our new house ) - it was as if you were LITERALLY on the very cusp of the “smart ppl good, can be helpful” vs “Elites are EVIL!” Era

I live in Mpls - and nope
January 10, 2026 at 6:25 AM
And cannot imagine being told “nope”.

What they all have in common are youth, the idea that you should always get SPECIFICALLY what you demand, and no education in history. Their answer to all this is to refuse to vote and hold their breath until they turn blue.

The “University of Austin” is a made up Skool with zero accreditation with a bust of fucking Bari Weiss in front of it.
