In no particular order I enjoy: reading, bicycling, friends, music, arts, and volunteering. Home is near 45° N , 93° W. 🚫DMs I want a normal life where we don't have to worry about the actual fate of our country every damn minute.

Annunciation School is a few miles from my house. Those innocent children. I feel helpless.

I’m sure a lot of people saw this when it first came out during his first, disastrous stint as POTUS. But I missed it. And it’s more relevant than ever. youtu.be/IZDYhQ4UAnA?...

The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

A ‘pay to play’ big game shooter was stalking an African Cape Buffalo. The buff said, “Not today!” and killed the customer.

Tap on the comment (text) of the most recent poster. If the person posted without any comment (text) tap just to the right of their name (where their comment would be). I hope this makes enough sense to work for you.

Yes, this number is useless to the point where it’s little more than a firewall between the public and Experian staff. I posted it here because every other social media has multiple complaints. Power in numbers.

I remember when news such as this would raise hackles. Nowadays the population seems so inured it barely gets a “meh”.

It's been really bad in Minneapolis. We've been tied with Chicago for city with the world's worst air quality. Trump canceled climate efforts and gutted the EPA while we were being cautioned to stay indoors because of air quality. And the MAGAs cheered. No doubt in my mind, it's a cult.

International Owl Awareness Day is celebrated annually on August 4th. This day is dedicated to raising awareness about owls, their importance in ecosystems, and the need for their conservation. Today we learn about these fascinating birds, their unique characteristics, and the threats they face.

MAGA Mike mentioned people claiming Medicaid from multiple states. How does an individual convert Medicaid to cash? Does Mike know what Medicaid is?

“Yes, the President is named in the DOJ’s Epstein files. But it is entirely innocuous, which is why we shut down an entire chamber of Congress for six weeks rather than let you see them.”

Since I refused to subsidize Fox News because it was part of every cable package offered I ‘temporarily’ cut the cord in 2014 and I’ve yet to go back. I discovered that the more the TV is turned off the less I weigh and the better I feel.

I remember Mr Carlin. One of many remarkable things about him is he made his work look easy. I had no idea of how much effort went into his craft. Every word was carefully chosen for maximum impact.

The Supreme Court is allowing Trump to lay off Dept of Education employees. Justice Roberts has now firmly secured his status as worst Chief Justice in SCOTUS history. Roberts persevered and has wrested the title from Roger B Taney who served as Chief Justice from 1836 until his death in 1864.

🚨 Marijuana DWI in Minnesota: What You Need to Know 🚨 Cannabis. THC. Pot. Gummies. Joints. No matter what you call it—or how you consume it—a marijuana-related DWI is still a DWI in Minnesota. Most cops botch the tests. 💡 Just because an officer says you're under the influence doesn’t make it so
