If he wanted nothing to do with it, he could have quit.

I wish you didn’t have to deal with this kind of BS. Thanks for your work, your courage, and your care for Minneapolis and Minnesota!

It‘s fun to talk about this, but I don’t think we should expect consistency or logic from this regime.

And Trump campaigned on releasing the Epstein files, so there’s that.

Calico Kitty has mastered the art of nonviolent resistance! I was waiting for her to deliver a massive bop to Stripey Kitty but it never happened.

I usually fill my own carton with bulk eggs at the co op, but if I buy a pre filled carton at a regular grocery store I always check them.

He wouldn’t have had to steal it if you had just offered it to him like a civilized person.

Yeah, I was hanging my laundry on the clothesline and each load was dry by the time the next load came out of the washer. In other words, we’re living inside a clothes dryer right now.

So, high speed naughtiness is what you’re saying? I feel like you should either get extra points or lose extra points, depending on how you look at it.

I was able to live without owning a car for 11 years because of HourCar. I finally had to buy a car a year and a half ago for my new job, but I kept my membership for emergencies. I was so sad to see this news. Some people are really going to be stuck without HourCar as an option.

Appalling. We need to stop this from happening.

I used to work at a library where a surprising number of people would take off their boots/shoes and pad around in their socks. I could never understand that, but at least the socks stayed on.

I love this so much!!!!! ❤️

Wait, he’s a doctor too? I need a new primary care doc! Is he taking new patients?

This would be very much on brand for the Twin Cities! I would turn out to cheer.

Sorry, you don’t get credit for being secretly against fascism when you publicly support it with your words and actions.

At my house we call this a Kitty Flop. It’s a good thing!

FYI, when your former librarian colleague asks, „How could I have known this (vitally important info)?“ she is literally asking, „What system is in place that would have helped me figure this out?“ She’s not just helplessly throwing her hands up.

A librarian who’s on her last nerve.

Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, with Gene Wilder. Also, my parents made the mistake of buying and reading to me Dr. Seuss‘s Bartholomew Cubbins and the Oobleck, which caused me many nightmares. I made my mom hide the book in her closet so I wouldn’t have to look at it ever again.

As someone who spent several formative years in Western Mass, I need to know which article that was!

„How can you know unless someone shows you?“ is exactly right. These things are not exactly intuitive. I found out about turning the wheel completely by accident.

Why is my San Pellegrino asking me personal questions?
A bottle of San Pellegrino sparkling water shows the question, „What is a guilty pleasure you rarely admit“ in large bold letters on its front label.

Stay home, Harry! If you leave the house, you must have a human escort at all times. This means you!

You are so dependable, Gonz. In this crazy world, it’s good to have someone we can rely on to be 95% goode and only 5% naughty in a way that doesn’t actually hurt anyone. Thanks for being you, Gonzo the Ca‘at!

Just had my first piano lesson in more than 2 years! I gave it up to save money while I was unemployed and it’s taken me this long to get back. My playing was terrible, but now I’m energized!
