My cousin Ecky is married to Terry Malick. My folks went on set when he was filming The New World. My mom and Swoosie Kurtz, who was also there hanging out, “got along like a house on fire” according to my dad.

I’ve driven on that exact stretch of highway many times. It often bottlenecks during rush hour and sometimes some a-hole drives on the shoulder in order to cut the line, which is very dangerous. So you can see why the victims assumed he was just another jerk trying to get home fast

I was raised Episcopalian and was already confused by my positive feelings about the current and previous popes. While we may disagree on certain religious beliefs, we all have the same version of the New Testament. It’s MAGA who prefers the Old Testament and largely ignores Jesus’ teachings

Honestly, given everything going on right now, I can’t argue with that. It’s less of a conspiracy theory than a conspiracy observation

This reminds me of the dot com bubble. A company that made large format printers sold its existing business, changed its name to VirtualFund.com and claimed it was doing internet (no other specifics given or even contemplated). The bubble popped and lawsuits started flying thick and fast

It was the Wordle and I also thought about the bible. Pretty sure it’s in the story of Noah

Montana has a long history of workplace protections. It is the only state that doesn’t have employment at will

It’s good to be the only white person in the room once in a while.

It amazes me how scared some people are of black and brown folks. I worked in downtown Minneapolis for over 20 years and never had a problem. Yet I’d hear from people, usually in rural areas, that they were scared to go downtown

I once walked into the Starbucks at the Riverside exit on 94, which is entirely populated by Somali cab drivers. A few heads swiveled to check out the white lady, and then they went back to chatting

As a parent of a young adult son with a normal job, I had the same thought. I’m sure I would have put a stop to that immediately

The producers of Jury Duty might have a claim

It’s Ramsey County fyi. Minneapolis is Hennepin, St Paul is Ramsey.

Pope Leo: look, I play by my own rules, because I don’t report to you, I’m called by a higher power. If God’s ok with how I solve crimes, then you should be too! I’m cleaning up the mean streets of the Vatican my way

Tell him you want to pitch a crime procedural where he runs around Rome solving murders

I’d watch the hell out of a procedural where the Pope runs around Rome solving crimes

Saying the Pope isn’t tough on crime is objectively hilarious. Does he know what a Pope is?

a man and a woman are talking and the woman says i 'm not theon reek ALT: a man and a woman are talking and the woman says i 'm not theon reek

He’s Reek

According to my Hungarian ex boyfriend, the country is known for its good looks. He was also hot, so it seemed true

I worked in a general store in a small town in the late 80s or early 90s. I sold baby and kids clothes. I’ll never forget showing a set of red overalls with a truck appliqué to a lady who rejected them as “too girly.” I still don’t know what she was talking about

I’ve seen plaintiffs sue employers while at the same time engaging in all sorts of illegal behavior. And the embezzlement or whatever would not have been discovered but for the lawsuit. Narcissists aren’t good at assessing risk

I hate when people (mostly men) complain about him resigning. Somehow, they always seem to forget that we got a perfectly good replacement in Tina Smith. Odd how men always ignore older women 🤔

Gen X don’t crack

As an alum, I’m pissed off that this guy is employed there. I certainly won’t donate to a school that allows unethical people to work there

Everything is terrible. These are the prettiest pictures I’ve ever taken of my dogs

And if you eat it, you’ll die immediately
