And the village of Luxemburg in Kewaunee County was settled by Belgians. Allegedly their names were mistakenly swapped by the postal service.

Everything I can find says diplomatic plates don't start with Z, so I'm confused for reasons unrelated to the bumper stickers

I spent a night on that submarine as a kid! It was a lot of fun, though it would be very cramped for adult me.

NEW — ICE violence has spread well beyond Minneapolis, with agents landing in small cities like St. Cloud. I spoke with Alice Valentine, a local queer trans woman, who protested ICE on Monday and was pepper sprayed, beaten and jailed as a result, along with her girlfriend. This is Alice's story:

When I was a kid, I was playing around on the treadmill in a hotel exercise room and I turned it up too fast. I went flying off the back, fell face first on the belt, and got a nasty rug burn on half my face.

Was that in Wisconsin by any chance? Our drunk driving laws are so lax that it feels like someone makes the news for a double-digit DUI count every couple years.

I collect license plates, and it's the same story there. Nobody can ship plates from other countries to the US because of the tariffs, and even conservatives are furious about it.

Imagine it's 1850 and you've just been flattened by an elite cavalry officer who just yells "SOWWY" as he thunders away.
Screenshot of a tweet: 

British cavalry in the 1850s consisted entirely of twinks who used UwU-speak...
[Photo of a book page] "The dash of British cavalry officers was never greater than at the opening of the Crimean campaign in the spring of 1854. These aristocratic horsemen were, in the idiom of the day, "plungers," "tremendous swells." They affected elegant boredom, yawned a great deal, spoke a jargon of their own, pronouncing "r" as "w," saying "vewwy," "howwid," and "sowwy," and interlarded sentences with loud and meaningless exclamations of "Haw, haw." Their sweeping whiskers, languid voices, tiny waists, laced in by corsets, and their large cigars were irresistible, frantically admired, and as frantically envied. Magnificently mounted, horses were their passion; they rode like the devil himself, and their confidence in their ability to defeat any enemy single-handed was com-plete. Cavalry officers were saying in London drawing-rooms that to take infantry on the campaign was superfluous; the infantry would merely be a drag on them, and had better be left at
home."

One of the things that has pretty annoying is that if you have any kind of bullshit meter, if you have anything inside of yourself that doesn’t enjoy being lied to, the last couple of years of almost every area of public life have been driving you up a fucking wall

My parents had both a boy name and a girl name picked out for me, and they told me what the girl name was when I was a kid, so I just used that.

My parents were also a Republican and a centrist who disowned me when I came out as trans, which really doesn't help the case for those books

My mom thought college brainwashed me to be trans, and she told me she would've pulled me out if I hadn't been so close to graduation when I came out. And that was in 2014, the propaganda has only gotten worse since then.

It feels like victim-blaming to me. Like, why are they yelling at the trans woman in a horribly difficult position instead of the ghouls targeting her?
