Went out canvassing yesterday for our DFL candidates. Had a lot of good conversations, and stressed the importance of voting for Keith Ellison.
Three women are standing on a sidewalk outside an apartment building.  They are showing campaign flyers for Minnesota DFL candidates.

Have you been following Ed Zitron? He’s been harping on this for a while.

I used “xenophobia” in a graduate school paper, and the professor flagged it as an unusual word that would cause problems for the average reader.

1. My Dachshunds hate having their tummies tickled by grass. 2. They also love nothing more than having their kibble scattered in the grass so they can hunt down each nugget. The presence of food renders the tummy grass-proof.

I just finished that book, and it was astonishing. Some people will believe completely bonkers pseudoscience, as long as it means they don’t have to be decent to other people.

This American Life has an interesting segment on southern accents. As someone raised in the South living in the Midwest, I wince at what passes as southern outside the region. www.thisamericanlife.org/138/the-real...

To be fair, he bought a Dachshund. That could be read as complete surrender to despair. (Source: have multiple Dachshunds)

From the US, it looked like Starmer was flailing; then suddenly everyone decided to make a non-MP PM; then an MP resigned so Burnham could be elected directly into #10. I feel like there’s a step missing. How did Burnham appear out of nowhere and take over? Did the MP who resigned get a new job?

In a really petty way, I am tickled that Andrew was wearing an outfit that I, an old lady, wear regularly: culottes, fuchsia blouse, and espadrilles.

I’m pretty sure Peggy will be the DFL candidate for Tina’s seat, which makes me happy. I’m also pretty sure Angie will be the DFL candidate for Amy’s seat, which…does not make me happy.

I read this really interesting look at how rivers function in the legendarium.
medium.com
Rivers in Tolkien are not geography. I think they might be theology.
And Goldberry might be the key.

The government is shuffling people around, sending them here and there and not keeping records so “oops, don’t know what happened to that guy!” Who can go to jail for this?

I’ve been trained in community organizing techniques by several groups over 30 years, and every one of them has used the Melian Dialogue. Power doesn’t respect ethics, only greater power. Does it mean something else in context?

Caucused last night. It was 15 degrees. They finally just let everyone in and had us register in the rooms, because the lines were so long it would have taken over an hour to register people at the door.

I took a previous Dachshund in for his final injection. He had cancer, was blind, deaf, standing stiff and unresponsive. I told the vet it was his last meal, she said there’s no point. I peeled the clementine; his nose went up; he lurched forward. The vet was stunned, but he died happy.

I’m with other Minnesota clergy staging a sit-in. Target must 1) demand ICE out of Minnesota; 2) refuse to allow ICE stage in their parking lots; 3) demand that Congress defund ICE; 4) demand that Jonathan Ross be prosecuted.

Snake Eater, by @tkingfisher.com, got a positive review in today’s Wall Street Journal. So that’s one bright spot.

I grew up in Mississippi and Alabama. We had this regularly; it was a school lunch staple. (The ones from home, not the cafeteria.) I don’t like peanut butter, so no, but it’s not weird to me.

When the owner sold them to Dallas and snuck out of town in the middle of the night, fans crowdsourced so someone could travel to Dallas, attend a game, and pour beer on him.

Can I preorder? Are these people related to the angel and demon with the garden? If not, can I preorder both?
