I like Milwaukee, beer, and center-left politics. I think cities are great but should be better; I also think suburbs are fine but should be better. You can get incredible food in every single American city these days. 🦌🍺 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇹🇼 🌐

I showed my daughters YouTube clips of it a year or two ago and they thought it was hilarious.

Is Glee Cast the name of a band or just the cast from the television show Glee?

When I was in my 20s and 30s, I didn't want to call myself a tourist when I traveled even though I obviously was. Now I'm my mid/late 40s I don't have the ego to care anymore. "Tourist" is not good or bad in & of itself. Just try to be a good tourist if you decide to travel.

I agree with almost all of it. I've seen some great shows at the Miller High Life Theater

Speed and red light cameras are good. They make streets safer. I got one ticket in DC around 2009 and made sure to be better after that. One caveat, if they over-ticket (1 to 4 mph over and yellow lights), they will lose support from the public.

I have a hardback copy of his book Griftopia in my basement that I got as a Christmas present but never read. He **did**, in fact, write a book about grifting.

Blind Melon is one of the most underrated bands of the 90s. They had one big hit (which I certainly love) but so many other great songs. I'll play their albums start to finish.

You don't shave your neck at all? I can't handle the itchiness after a while and need to clean up my neck once or twice a week. Did you shave the whole thing?

It's funny, but I feel like there must be a philosophy word for this concept. Some type of fallacy assuming that since you already have a kid, you must want more kids.

I think it'll be a Democratic year, and Normie/ Centrist/ Moderate Dems will be the winners because they are going to have to beat Republicans who have already won those districts.

PSA: Two 3-piece cod meals and one 2-piece walleye from Culver's is way too much for two adults and two kids. Two 3-piece meals would have been more than enough.

In hindsight I think a generation of scholars and activists made a massive mistake in assuming that the conditions of (a, yes, deeply flawed in many ways) liberal democracy as the floor, the worst things could get, and so felt free to portray them in worst possible light. Whoops!

Do you remember when people were talking about "manifesting" things? Like, thinking good thoughts made good things happen and thinking bad thoughts made bad things happen? That was The Secret, and it was promoted by Oprah.

Any Democratic senator who votes for RFK should face an equally well funded primary opponent who plasters the airwaves tying the senator tightly to all of the terrible things RFK has said and done.

every single Democrat who supports RFK Jr. should be immediately primaried and forever ostracized there is literally zero excuse for supporting an antivaxxer who has already racked up a death count of dead Samoan infants

I disagree with AOC on plenty of policy, but I f'ing love the way she communicates. Succinct, easy to understand, a clear right and wrong that a vast majority of Americans agrees with. It's beautiful.

“Respect the neighborhood scale” is such a bullshit planner invented concept of asking people to not build big buildings. Architects need to stop catering to it

I liked REM in the 80s but was still pretty young. Fell in love with them in the 90s. Then for some reason stopped listening to them for about 15 years. I've gotten back into 'em a bit more lately, and yeah, they were an amazing band. I'm glad @radiomilwaukee.bsky.social still plays random REM songs
