I don't have a dog in the fight as I am not a StP resident, but as a curious outsider I have to wonder why no one on Council has outright called for Her's resignation. Her's tenure has been one debacle after another.

We need more sketchy submarines.

Refreshing the comments page on the draft resolution for the City of St. Paul to pay for Mayor Her's defense is pretty entertaining. For-Against is 0-94 at this posting.

What happened? Too confident?

Dunking on terrible people's bodies is just fuckin' lazy and honestly, pretty pathetic. Dunk on them for their policies, actions, and ideology.

I turned around, looked him dead in the eye and said "If he's new, he's doing a fine job. Maybe we can shut up and cut him a fuckin' break." Silence the rest of the trip, smiles and nods from others around me. Asshat was a 4-H parent volunteer, too!

I had this experience on a free park and ride bus to the State Fair this year. Some dipshit was going on and on and on about how the driver (Black, obviously new to State Fair bussing) must be new, shouldn't be driving, probably can't speak English. (cont)

A lot of people are going to have the greenest💩ever.

It goes deeper than that. Medicare tells the healthcare system "Look, we are going to pay X dollars for X service, and not a penny more. If you don't like it, we'll pay nothing, and pull your ability to receive ANY Medicare funds." Source: Spouse battles Medicare every day for a local system.

That was me many years ago. I remain grateful that HCMC had a slate of "self-pay" programs, discounts, and payment plans.

I'm bad at conversions. How many heads of lettuce is that?

100%. May I also ask you your mother's maiden name?

Um.... our beloved HCMC, as well as virtually all other hospital systems do the same thing. That's how healthcare financing works in this country.

Maybe I'm just a cynic, but that 12 Axes political survey thing going around seems like yet another LLM trainer.

I run a wristwatch enthusiast community, and for the past four years we've had a fundraising campaign during September, with money going to Foundation for Women's Cancer. With two days to go, those lovable bunch of chowderheads have raised about $4,000, and I couldn't be prouder.

Someone is diagnosed with one of the gynecologic cancers EVERY SIX MINUTES. Read and share the information in these info sheets with your friends and loved ones, especially if they have female reproductive organs.

The Hi-Ten Service thing shouldn't surprise me, those creeps do fly a Joe Soucheray flag/sign 24/7.

These are the same buttheads that park in handicap spaces "just for a minute", and don't return their cart to the corral.

Heartened by the Keith Ellison yard signs I'm seeing in my part of the Emmer borderlands. They offset the visceral disgust of seeing Demuth signs at Hi-Ten Service.

They tacity support nazis and pederasts. No other explanation.

I laughed out loud when I read the "art" claim.

I live in the north burbs. It's not any less accessible than any of the others, and a damn sight better than the terrible SLP one.

Educational Materials | Foundation For Women's Cancer

Foundation for Women's Cancer has great educational resources on the gynecologic cancers, cancers that affect only those with female reproductive organs, are woefully underfunded, and don't benefit from splashy awareness marketing blitzes. Inform yourself and others! tinyurl.com/f27btfvp

The Foundation for Women’s Cancer (FWC) is proud to present a comprehensive set of free educational courses designed to support gynecologic cancer patients, caregivers, and survivors.

Kind of in the mood for iced coffee.

What's great is saying "Yes, in fact I do!" at places like this and witnessing the confounded look on their face when someone who looks like me is part of their rewards program.

I might just be an ignorant proletariat without a fancy MBA, but even I know that making your product available to more customers increases sales, revenue, and profits.

No public money for professional sports.

AFSCME Local 977 at HCMC has been working without a contract for almost a year. They haven't been able to come to an agreement on wages, so it will be going to mediation on October 19th. Solidarity and a fair contract for the workers!

1 or 11,000, it makes no difference to me. Both are far too many.
