Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

Omfg I just had someone tell me they really need to vote this election because they don't want a bunch of socialists taking over. I guess it's working. I'm not in a position to say, "I guess the fucking fascists are fine, though??"

I resent that I can't, at this moment in time, encourage my son to find his "real" job and get out on his own. In this uncertain environment it makes more sense to me to maintain one household while we figure out if we're going to be starved to death.

I sort of mowed my front yard today. I'm not sure I realized just how dead everything is. I was just stirring up dust. Nothing has grown in forever. Colors have really popped, though.

I just saw our university production of Come From Away and it was breathtaking. Really well done. There was one point at the end of a song where normally you'd expect people to clap but no one moved. I don't think they breathed. And that moment went on for a WHILE

If a politician takes money from weapons manufacturers, don't be surprised when they back weapons contracts. If a politician takes money from Big Pharma, don't be surprised when they try to stop guaranteed healthcare. That's why I don't take ANY corporate money. None.

There is already really squirrely stuff going on at the post office. We sent payment for eight bills from work and NONE of them got there. One going from one part of Marquette County to another part of Marquette County went to MILWAUKEE and the post office there returned it to sender.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them. You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board. Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

The day Walter Payton broke the single-game rushing record, he had the flu and played with a 104-degree fever. Before the game, he was on the floor of the locker room, wrapped up in a blanket...shivering. That's the kind of heart we'd better have in 48 days.

You know, I've had door knockers for Karl Bohnak in his last two elections, which I appreciate. Both times, the guy took a "Hey, he had to pick one party over the other so he just decided he's a Republican but really he's just a swell guy who wants to work for you" position.

If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model. Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.

If you live in a state where they are making it difficult to vote, HAVE A PLAN. Vote by mail. Early vote. TRACK YOUR BALLOT. If you're voting in person, take water/ snacks/ sunscreen/chair/ umbrella/ book. Arrange childcare. Take the day off from work. Do whatever you have to do to STAY IN LINE
