I wish Isaac Chotiner would interview me. I want to learn the specific ways I'm a dumbass so I can take that info to my therapist and speed things up!

I am sorry I watched this at work, because I had to put my hand over my mouth so as not to shout SEVERAL times.

"This place isn't for everyone" is a phrase I've come to hate (in many contexts.) What it really means is "this place is toxic, but the people who are driven out are the problem." When my home state of Nebraska adopted "it's not for everyone" as their tourist slogan my heart just sank.

MN Wild hockey player Marcus Foligno is standing at the end of a play while Connor Murphy of the Chicago Blackhawks is kneeling in front of him on both knees, holding his (own) hockey stick. Foligno has his hand under Murphy's chin and it is very Fraught.

tastes so good
Minnesota Wild forward Marcus Foligno is wearing a chef's hat and a long-sleeve t-shirt. He has a container of chocolate frosting in one hand and is licking a finger on his other hand. He is blindfolded with a folded black bandana and the expression on his face is serious and pondering. This is a still from a promo video from the team and it is unintentionally(?) hot.

way too early in the season for this shit
Sad Wolverine meme: In the first frame, cartoon Wolverine is lying on his bed looking at a picture frame.

In the second frame, we see that he is looking at a photo of Minnesota Wild players Marcus Foligno and Brock Faber embracing jubilantly and very handsomely. They are both now on injured reserve. Wolverine is touching the photo wistfully.

Marcus Foligno, a hockey player, is fighting with another hockey player and has taken him down to the ice. But Foligno ihas his arm wrapped around the other player's head as if to make sure it doesn't crack on the ice

Guys, we are well past the point where we need to preface tweets about Ilhan Omar with "If she really did something, show us the evidence." We all know she did not do something and there is no evidence.

I brought this up during Metro Surge but I BEEN saying that people have been discounting how much of "Why Minnesota???" is because this MF specifically hates Ilhan Omar and everything else is collateral

I would further say that the internal stae and local MN politicians targeting Somalis is largely rooted in racism/xenophobia. But national? That's about them going after one specific person.

And you also need to understand that most of the Somalis here are citizens. So the administration isn't getting the photo ops they want. And this is also why the state and local shit is not mentioning, specifically, immigration

Me: No, I don't get seasonal depression. I actually love fall and winter, and thrive when it gets dark. Too much sunshine feels oppressive sometimes, too! Also me: if i don't hear skates on ice or a volleyball spike in the next 17 minutes i will go to bed and scroll in the dark for three hours

In 1982 Omaha, a British family did a year-long house swap with one of our neighbors; they had a kid my age. I understood "bloody" as a classy way to say "dang" from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (I think?). I used it in some writing in class and the kid ran home and told his mom on me.

libs: public executions? oh like we’re the TALIBAN now?? is this IRAN?!? okay AYATOLLAH American Christian:
Yes to the live-streamed execution of the fort Hood shooter.
Yes to the live streamed execution of all murderers. 

Not because I love to see anyone get executed but because America has lost respect and love for God and for innocent human life.
Viewing the sobering consequences of murder will help Americans gain that respect and will heip to prevent other murders.
Execution for capital crimes like murder and rape is the Biblical responsibility of government. It is what is just. It demonstrates that the victinis' lives mattered. See verses below.

Young adult offspring has routinely changed her own oil but doesn’t currently have a place to do so, so she went to a shop. She called me to walk her through any upsells she might have to face (she likes to be prepared). But I think she’ll be ok
Text from kid:

i'm so excited, I got a young lady who maybe has a special interest in cars, and cares about the procedure and it's rules very much 😤😤
this is gonna be the best oil change ever

And about 15 minutes earlier the lighting for this grain train was even better. Note to future self- catch the Borealis in late September next year.
A freight train, led by GE C44-9W #5446 and GE ES44DC #7220, in spectacular golden light. The train is made of covered hoppers, mostly painted dark red. Behind them a steep wooded hillside rises, with a limestone outcropping visible.
