This must be an option to rotate them off of the stress of Minneapolis, because for the most part, we don't have a large population of obvious immigrants. They aren't going to hit Miller's goals here.

I know campaigning is hard, but it kind of breaks my brain every time I see a new Mamdani video and he looks about 5 years younger than my mental image of him from 3 months ago.

I do really love how the best Mick Herron characters often play into people's underestimation of their abilities until it's too late.

In holiday movie news, I am looking forward to a sequel starring Cynthia Sterling, but that's maybe because I'll watch Lucy Punch be a snobby brat in nearly anything.

This reminds me of the time my insurance wouldn't cover my dentist appointment because it exceeded the area's average cost. When I asked them for the average cost, they told me they didn't share that information.

A student club at Winona State has booked a speaker to spread misinformation focusing on inaccuracies about harms that inclusivity has had on women's sports.
Another student club would like to find a speaker addressing the need for a broader definition of female athletes. Any suggestions?
