Glendalough Irish Whiskey is better than any of the "Spots" Irish Whiskey.

A while back I saw someone post about needing a Snow Shoveling activity on their Apple Watch. I have been using Dance as my shoveling activity. More Sinister Minnesotans should also choose Dance while shoveling. Then Apple will have weird activity data to sift through.

And I have to follow this up with, he is a seriously annoying interviewer. I can barely sit through any of the others because he JUST. WON'T. SHUT. UP.

But this one is good.

Someone needs to invent a garage door opener, that when the battery is replaced, I don’t need to reprogram it. It feels like this should be a solvable problem.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

A picture of the Mary Tyler Moore statue in downtown Minneapolis, depicting the iconic moment from the show where she throws her hat in the air. But the hat has been covered over with a protesters cardboard sign, reading “FUCK ICE.”

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Safety Note: Never, under any circumstances, start boiling water and then sit down to watch a documentary.

Pro-Tips for the Balanced Enthusiast

- The Cereal Rule: Cereal is the perfect food because it is both a snack and a drink.
- It is the "Superfood" of the pyramid.

5. The Apex: The "Fruit & Green" Mirage

- Use sparingly; at the very tip of the pyramid sits the stuff that is actually good for you.
- Key Players: A single, slightly bruised apple or a bag of baby carrots you got because you "wanted to be healthy this time."

4. The "Architectural" Tier (Late Night Delivery)

- 2–3 times per week (or whenever the app offers a coupon)
- This is where the heavy lifting happens. These are meals that require a delivery driver who won't judge you
- Key Players: A "the works" pizza or a ginormous burrito

3. The "Sweet & Gooey" Sector

- 3–5 servings (or one family-size pack)
- This level is dedicated to satisfying the "phantom sweet tooth" that only appears after the third bowl.
- Key Players: Gummy worms, cereal (eaten directly from the box), snack cakes that have a shelf life of ~40 years.

2. The Hydration Station (The "Cottonmouth" Cure)

- Keep in constant reach.
- Technically a side-tier, but vital for survival.
- Key Players: Blue Gatorade (must be blue), iced tea, or the "Nectar of the Gods" (ice water at 2:00 AM).

RFK's new Food "High"archy ...

1. The Foundation: The "Crunch & Salt" Group

- Key Players: Nacho cheese chips, pretzels, microwave popcorn, and those generic crackers you found at the back of the cupboard.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

My favorite scene in The Lord of the Rings is when Treebeard recites the scene from the The Threepenny Opera where Mack the Knife sings about loving the wild, uncultivated forests and Penny prefers to tend to her gardens and then Mack looses track of her. It is very moving.

A long time ago I had a book called "City Wars". Yeah. That seems to be going on now. Not the greatest work of literature but ... sigh.

Billy Gibbons plays an Epiphone. Just spectacular. The guy literally owns one of the greatest guitars on the planet and he plays an Epiphone. A testament both to Epiphone and “it’s not the guitar it’s the guitarist”. youtu.be/kquzknEg294?...

The number of commercial breaks during the TDF stream is absolutely obnoxious. There has to be another way to do this. They do off-stream commercials, and THEN run "The Feed" commercials side-by-side during the stream.

Marathoning Nicholas Cage movies is always a good thing. So good.

Gopher was the best

My latest guilty pleasure is using AI to better understand music theory and I have to say I have learned a lot about chord voicings and Vince Guaraldi and why certain chord progressions reminded me of the Peanuts theme music.

This is just so dumb.
