Well done, Norm. (And Mrs. Norm!)
That's all??? This state is filthy with foundation $$ -- why aren't they stepping in??
Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
Peak bluebell bloom in the Chiltern Hills - amongst beautiful beech trees. Sunrise casts wonderful light into the woodland, creating a beautiful scene.
Peak bloom. The bluebell carpets are truly vast in our British woodlands, stretching out in all directions as far as the eye can see. The sights, sounds and smells of the forest are incredibly good for the soul.
We can expect Netanayhu to punish the soldier because of the bad PR from this. But please remember Netanyahu has not punished settlers for terrorizing Christians and Muslims in the West Bank nor punished members of IDF for the mass slaughter of women and children in Gaza.
Ha! Acceptable.
They want $200 million of taxpayer money for renovations and HCMC needs $300 million to keep from closing.
Craig Leipold can fuck off.
$200 Million from the State for a billionaire's sports team to renovate -- when HCMC needs $300 Million to keep from closing??? Fuck off!!!
AG Ellison better be ready for him.
Was super nice to take the Green Line from Target Field to the Capitol and then down to Union Depot and back a few weeks ago. Gave me a view of both cities I don't usually get and new appreciation. (So many restaurants I have to try now!)
That is so freaky

Hi Laurel! May I be added? 🙂 Thanks!
Do you have any idea what it takes to get the USCCB to do something, if it doesn't involve a uterus?
I'm so sorry for your loss - thank you for sharing Marvin Sprinkles with us. 💔

Did...this fucker ever hear about why Minnesota was all over the news recently?
A split bar chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Americans are most likely to say T. Rex is their favorite dinosaur, but many don't have a favorite." The chart has the sub-headline: "Which of the following is your favorite dinosaur? (%)." The chart has the note: "Note: "Other" includes responses of archaeopteryx, spinosaurus, plesiosaur, ankylosaurus, allosaurus, parasaurolophus, dilophosaurus, diplodocus, iguanadon, and pachycephalosaurus, as well as responses of "other." We know pterodactyls and plesiosaurs aren't dinosaurs. Opinion about dinosaurs comes from the question, "How much do you like or dislike dinosaurs?""
A shocking new poll result: Many Americans somehow don't have a favorite dinosaur.
And only 6% give the correct answer (triceratops).

because seriously: get off substack.
stop helping literal sex traffickers make money.
I wrote my state rep and senator about getting our priorities right - fund HCMC, not rich guys with sports teams!
The country's descent into fascism cannot be understood without interrogating U.S. policing. But folks across the political spectrum are allergic to this so here we are.
*by* crumbs, lol
Americans are so easily satisfied crumbs.
