I need to go outside and do yard work, but the neighbors are running their leafblower, AKA the worst noise on earth.

The temperature is supposed to hit the low 80s today, a record high for October in central Wisconsin. Good for the corn maze people I guess.

I can't believe Gene Wilder's estate signed off on Netflix's Golden Ticket reality competition because I feel confident that Gene Wilder himself would have hated it.

NEW: As Trump’s White House and influencers keep touting the unproven benefits of raw milk, hundreds across the country are falling ill from outbreaks. Some people get severe indigestion. And some nearly die. Here's the story of one toddler who drank it. 🧵👇 www.propublica.org/article/cali...

A Girl Nearly Died After Drinking Raw Milk. The State Did Little to Punish the Unlicensed Farmer Who Sold It.
California is teeming with black-market dairies, propped up by consumer demand fueled by misinformation. With evidence against one raw goat milk farm, regulators could have sought punitive action. But...

I've received two separate spam texts in the past week purporting to be from private equity firms interested in purchasing companies like mine. I'm sorry, what?

I drove halfway to Milwaukee this morning only to get a call that the deposition needed to be rescheduled. So this has been a waste of a morning.

You played the recorder in part to strengthen your fine motor skills and in part to introduce you to basic music theory concepts like rhythm, the C-major scale, and reading basic music notes. Your teachers wanted to make elementary music education available to all, not just the rich.
Threads post "And then for no reason, no reason at all, they made us all learn how to play the recorder"

I'm headed to a work conference that happens to be at a waterpark hotel, and I just got a text from the hotel asking if I'm interested in renting a poolside cabana. Uh, no, I didn't even pack a swimsuit.

A reminder, as polls open in Wisconsin: Wisconsin has same-day voter registration. So, if you haven’t registered or need to re-register, you can do so at your polling place (with ID and proof of residence) TODAY. Every state should do this. It’s great that Wisconsin does this. Go vote.

The mom of one of my kid's friends is mad that the kids' teacher is not doing any sort of celebration to mark the end of 1st grade and I'm trying to tell her that's not a thing. The expectations some people place on teachers (who already go above and beyond) is ridiculous.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Every morning I wake up to the craziest fucking thing I’ve ever read and it’s from the president of the United States
Trump: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

Don't get me wrong: I'm relieved that this case is shaping up as either 8-1 or 7-2 against the Trump executive order. But the case is a gift to the Supreme Court. By rejecting an outlandish position, it will earn credibility as apolitical, even as the Overton window moves far to the right.

I was chatting with a parent of one of my kid's classmates at a birthday party, and somehow the movie Titanic came up. I mentioned seeing it in the theater and how the girls at my middle school were obsessed with Leo. Other mom goes, "Oh, I was like 3 when that movie came out." 💀
