I dislike gerrymandering as a general concept. Because: Wisconsin.

But big picture, the overall national results will now more closely match the national will, at the expense of the local.

Thank you, Virginia, but I'm still sad our system is so broken.

I once had nearly this exact conversation with my healthcare provider.

Past You is a big damn hero.

"Hey Google, how many soldiers did the 1918 influenza epidemic kill?"

Gather around, young 'uns, and let the old lady tell you about a time when social media was just people talking to people they already knew in real life, and maybe an online friend or two we meet through shared interests.

It was fun.

Emmett Kelii?

I didn't have a fear of clowns, but I think maybe I do now. Some of the images I looked at this week will haunt me for a while.

It's post-Trivia Monday and I can't overstate how much I needed a weekend of unhinged goofiness.

Get out there and be silly sometimes, in whatever way works for you.

If you're not laughing uncontrollably until you nearly throw up, are you really playing #90fmtrivia? #trivia56

Ya flub a couple questions and ya get the Oz.

Yes this is very normal, sane, and healthy.

Yeah, Point/Plover got very lucky.

Dad's Computers - we're just here for the measurement questions. #90fmtrivia #trivia56

They released school early. This could be an interesting evening

Yes, and that's reflected on the map. *MUCH* of the country is experiencing drought, not all.

It's #90fmtrivia Friday and I'd really rather fast-forward through the day but alas, time moves normally.

But try as I might to be a better person, schadenfreude overcomes me and I marvel at the FAFO of it.

Every Trans/NB person deserves the ability to have documents that match their name/gender. Even asshats like Jenner.

She allied herself with a nasty human to make life worse for a lot of Trans people (who AREN'T awful) so it's mostly just sad.

It me.

Because now he'll bail them out (from the problem he created, but whatever) and they'll thank him profusely and remember him as the farmer's hero.

Deep down, they only mean "I've always thought my Catholicism supported my conservative values across the board, but the reality being more complicated is too much for me to handle, so clearly it is the Pope who is wrong."

Just so we don't forget that we have already lost an elected official to assassination.

I'm a secular Catholic, but in the Central Wisconsin Polish-American way. Give me a good polka mass in a park on a random summer day or a pazcka on Fat Thursday or a fish fry at a random bar on a Friday night and I'm a happy happy hippo.

This was the presser opening:

"Formerly, press conferences worked in a way that the propaganda media asked questions that were written for them by govt... We will now give the floor to those Hungarian outlets who are still independent."

It's a reverse of the old adage, changed to "I took you out of this world, young man, so you know I can bring you back into it."

I don't consider myself a Catholic anymore, but daaaaaaaaaang, this Pope has some sass and I can appreciate that.

Hell, I'm baby Gen X (Xennial makes way more sense for elder Millennials and baby Gen Xers, but that's a rant for another day) and *I* couldn't vote in the 1996 election. 2000 was my first presidential election.

Good for them, honestly. They can do better elsewhere.
