Wisconsin people: Are we “yes” or “no” on amendment 1? What Evers did was shady and good, but I fear for the day some chode something shady and bad….

Was Fickell too easy of a pick?

So um, 23 🐍’s in this is about 25 🐍’s right? Is this an Easter egg or am I just grasping at straws (that are snakes?)

Am I wrong to worry about Hong’s general election electability for this primary vote? Crowley seems fine, I guess, and I want to believe we can do better, but I have lost a lot of faith in other humans to vote for more rather than same or worse.

My 12yo loves checking out random board games from the library. This week’s selection is Twilight of the Gods and lo and behold I spy @chriswarcraft.bsky.social in the credits!

This article perfectly sums up why I'm still a techno-optimist and also a AI hater. Thanks @aftermath.site and specifically Gita Jackson for this. aftermath.site/anthropic-cl...

So glad my mayor @lukediaz.bsky.social led the charge to #DeFlock Verona, and that more communities are following suit. This is a huge civil liberties and constitutional nightmare.

Nothing says “USA” like shooting off professional grade fireworks in a small neighborhood til after midnight and leaving your shrapnel all over your neighbor’s yards and roofs. This is just what I didn’t hit with the lawnmower this morning 🙄

Love having neighbors who are thousands-of-dollars-worth-of-mortar-shell fireworks people. Currently hiding in the basement with Maple who can’t stop shaking.

Just finished Dungeon Crawler Carl (all 8 of em) in about 6 weeks. Now what will I do with every second of my day? Work? Care for my family? Ugh… A lot of fantasy series start to drag the deeper you get (looking at you, Wheel of Time, ASOIAF) but this really ripped to the end.

It absolutely kills me that hacksacks are back. I have flashbacks from the 90’s going to the kiosk in the mall to buy one, working a hole in it to remove some beads and soften it up, then sewing it back together. I told all this to a teen this week and they looked at me like I had two heads.

Damn I missed this. First day back in the water since January when I (re)broke a collarbone. Other forms of excercise just don’t help my mental state they way swimming does.

Power washing the porch today and thinking about @hollyanderson.bsky.social’s dad cutting the cable on his house. Everyone deserves to do something like that. So $19.00 to the Blue Sharks for 1900 PSI of joy. #charitibundibowl @jacketdan.bsky.social @edsbs.bsky.social @newap-georgia.bsky.social

Just want to put today's #charitibundibowl haul in context: The 2019 Bowl, the first to cross six figures, brought in $183K over the week. Today's haul did that before lunch. The 2022 Bowl brought in $842,116.00 for the week. We're at just over half of that in 12 hours. Run the damn ball.

The worse they are, the more I give. $85.00 (plus fees) in honor of Wisconsin’s 85th place finish in the 2025 SP+ rankings. #fireFickell #OnWisconsin #charitibundibowl
