Haven't mentioned this in forever! Way back in the day, before the world started sliding into oblivion, I did a podcast with my daughter. In Ep. 2, we discussed 5 versions of Sherlock Holmes—Peter Cushing, Jeremy Brett, Robert Downey Jr., Benedict Cumberbatch, and Jonny Lee Miller. The game’s afoot!

Tafoya complains that Minnesota has gone so far left—we’ve been a blue state for decades. The last Republican president to win MN was Nixon in 72. We were the ONLY state Reagan didn’t win for his second term. Sadly, it’s more accurate to say MN has moved to the right, like the whole fucked-up world.

I hope protestors will gather on Memorial Circle to block construction work on Trump's deranged military outpost/arch. I'm also hoping that protestors will form a human chain around the Kennedy Center to block any attempted demolition. Hey, contractors, just say no! It's a word Trump needs to hear.

Dear everyone in construction/demolition: Some of you got fooled and took the orders of the mad king and tore down the East Wing. Don't any of you get fooled again when he tells you to tear down the Kennedy Center. You don't have to do what he says. He doesn't have the right to do this stuff.

Made a sauce for some store-bought tortellini. Sliced a pile of cherry tomatoes in half, got them simmering in some truffle-infused olive oil. Eventually added some wine. Then some already cooked bacon. Put some half & half in a bowl, added some of the sauce to the bowl a bit at a time... 1/3

The year is 2273 under Trump’s “infiniterm.” Anything that even implies DJT is dead is considered treason and is punishable by death. A spokesperson is asked about the wildfires consuming 80 percent of the land west of the Rockies. Nodding, the spokesperson begins, “Well, the Biden administration…”

Over the last several months, our signal strength for T-Mobile has dwindled to nothing at our house. Their map claims we have 5G coverage. If I try to log in to our account—do you see what's coming?—they send a text message to confirm it's me. I can't get the damn text, because I've got no signal.
