Finally! Someone disrupted the "Headless Man"!

Apparently there are vehicles in my neighborhood that run on slurpees.

Okay, I'm just going to go to bed. This MNUFC shit is exhausting, and I'm tired from mopping toad-shit out of a basement. If they come back, great, but not expecting that. Goodnight, from the toads

The fun book I picked up recently at @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social: Rural Pain, Republican Gain: How the Republican Party is Killing Rural America and Why Democrats are Blamed.

A photo of a portion of page 23 of the introduction of the book Rural Pain, Republican Gain: How the Republican Party is Killing Rural America and Why Democrats are Blamed, which states:

"increases in rural-urban health disparities. As the Republican Party has seized larger numbers of state legislative bodies and governorships since the 1990s, their subsequent policymaking has translated into more years of premature deaths, higher firearm fatality rates, higher maternal mortality rates, larger percentages of individuals without health insurance, and worse overall health outcomes for states under their control. Republican health and economic policies still represent the wishes of the wealthy and healthy (Pacheco and Ojeda 2020; Bartels 2008), despite their new working-class rural voters suffering as a result."

TFW you get back from a long camping weekend, but you have to turn right around and head to the Laundromat to wash sleeping bags.

Glad to see Nicole Lukic landing on her feet. chicagostars.com/first-team/c...

In addition, Nicole Lukic joins Chicago Stars FC as a full-time assistant coach with an extensive background in player identification, talent development, and high-performance coaching across the professional, youth national team, and collegiate pathways. Most recently, Lukic served as Head Coach of Spokane Zephyr FC in the USL Super League and as Director of Talent Identification for U.S. Soccer’s Women’s Youth National Teams, where she helped oversee player evaluation and development strategies for the nation’s top emerging talent.

In her role with the Stars, Lukic will play a key part in the individual development of players throughout the roster, leveraging her experience building player pathways and maximizing performance at every stage of the game. Her track record of fostering growth, creating high-performance environments, and helping athletes reach their potential will further strengthen the club’s commitment to developing players on and off the field.

Lukic is the latest addition to the improving and evolving Chicago Stars technical structure, which has recently added two highly experienced leaders in Kate Cohen as interim technical consultant and Garga Caserta as interim director of high performance.

After the last float, people join the parade, and so did we!

The end of the parade is always the biggest float occupied by Paul Oscar, an Icelandic gay pop icon, who's coming out in the 90s, per my neighbor at the parade, helped reduce anti-queer stigma.

Had the good fortune of randomly planning this trip over Reykjavik's Pride festival, and today's parade was a blast.

I have the great fortune of having a gracious friend and his extended family share their living space with us while we're in Iceland. The tremendous view from their apartment in Reykjavik. It's rained the whole time so far, but it's been tremendous even so.

Yesterday I was gassing up in Two Harbors on the way home, and this Merlin (according to the Merlin app) brought this pigeon to ground at my feet next to the pump. Proceeded to drag it around and onto various vehicles before finishing it off behind the propane tanks.

Okay, not recommending the Moose Mtn Spur Trail connector to the Superior Hiking Trail for anyone with kids. It's in rough shape. Where we climbed back up after noping out through someone else's previous escape hatch.

Real "there is no alternative" and "we don't give a shit about our work product" vibes in this statement.

Screen capture from the article, saying:

"When I bring this up to city staff or elected officials, they usually shrug.

“People always complain about things,” one former staffer told me a while back. “We can’t compromise on safety.” "

Looking like the Aurora will likely be playing Pittsburgh on Sunday. Housing Louisville right now. Also, apparently USLW has a Goal Zone now?

Randomly stopped at Milk and Honey Cider and the North Table in St Joseph on the way back from camping, right off I94. Kitchen is fully GF. Food was so damn good. NA cider was delicious and got some alcoholic bottles for the road. 👨‍🍳💋👌

Saw the first 7 goals of the @mnaurorafc.bsky.social match vs Rally Madison, but had to leave when the stadium lightning alarm went off and play stopped with a bit over 10 minutes left. Quite a view as we drove away from TCO though!
