Minneapolis and regular traveler. Happily gone from Xitter. Lurk more than post. Politics, music, food, airing of trivial grievances.
Just watched Home Alone 2 with one of the kids, who loudly booed Trump during his brief appearance. The 1992 decor of The Plaza appears to be a design inspo for the fake gold trim and signs popping up all over the White House.

We can't accept gun violence. I can't begin to express how sorry I feel for the members of the Brown University community. Kids should be worried about their finals and making their flights home for the holidays and that's about it. We have to do better.

Wanted to share my thoughts on the announcement that ICE is coming to the Twin Cities.

WTF @nytimes.com ... I had to search to confirm form you actually published that. You're winning in a race to the bottom.
The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Based on Bessent's logic, as a Netflix shareholder I'm a movie producer. Where's my Oscar?

Oh ffs.
Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Keep this dude out of our neighborhood. Assuming my Annunciation friends are indicative of the parish his showboating and lecturing will hurt people who are already reeling from the attack on their community. I really can't think of anyone who would be a less comforting presence while grieving.

Robot Death Panels (go ahead and take the band name) seem like theyre going to be very much a real thing vs the Obamacare death panels that the Rs were making up in 2008. Watch Peter Thiel get a Benjamin for declining your mom's heart valve repair because...reasons.

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do.

Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

It’s hard to overstate how big a deal this is - for the economy (ours and globally), for the rule of law, and for the proper and efficient function of government.
