This is Coralie. Zoom in for ants.

Coralie is a soft pink dahlia with a darker pink center. It looks like a ball form but is actually formal decorative IIRC.

This is Rhubarb & Custard and I got a cutting of it last year so this year have *3* plants. She’s an icon, she’s a legend and she IS the moment.

Rhubarb & Custard is a collarette dahlia (petals surrounding an open center, like a daisy). The outer petals are a light pink transitioning to dark toward the center. Inner petaloids are white.

Today‘s dahlia is Rosemary Webb and she’s not supposed to look like this; conditions have her all bedraggled. Girl, same!

Dahlia Thread 2026! I’m going to post the first cuts of each of my varieties as they come. This is Linda’s Baby and she is a fab opener of the season 😍. I have 33 varieties this year so stay tuned!

Tom Emmer at a town hall in 2016. I vividly remember this episode of This American Life because I was grateful for his willingness to stand up to blatantly racist constituents. When his obituary is written I hope they say what a craven empty suit he was.

Tom Emmer: What does that mean? What does that mean?

Sue
It's a break on the influx for a period of time, so we could take a little breather.

Tom Emmer
Here's the thing, your last statement, though, "take a little breather."

[SCATTERED APPLAUSE]

You guys, could you just hold on. Say it out loud. Are you suggesting that no more immigrants should be allowed to come to St. Cloud?

Sue
A moratorium for a short time.

Woman
For the whole United States!

Man
The whole United States, yes.

Tom Emmer
All right. All right, here's the thing. All I can do is respond as open and honest as I can, Sue. That's not something that I can do. That's not something that our constitution says that we do with people who are--

Hi, it’s me, your ”what‘s going on with this ice time” in pop culture correspondent. I just watched the opening scene of Off Campus. What’s going on with this ice time?

A shot of a lone hockey player on a rink with all the overhead lights off. Not generally how ice time works.

I started Bricking my phone on weekend afternoons. Today my son and I sorted the flags of the world into design categories, so that rules.

Cub heard people saying that Midwestern tacos were bland and they said "hold my cream of mushroom"

A Cub Foods ad for Just Bare chicken: "TACO NIGHT, THE JUST BARE WAY." The tacos shown appear to be made with shredded chicken breast and maaaybe a bit of black pepper. It is the whitest, saddest, blandest "taco" ever conceived.

Archival footage of how we did this in 2016. I would have LOVED a proper playground.

Would this fix me. The glass/plate thingy I mean. The pool would fix me no question.

A product shot of two big glasses on stems filled with a pink icy drink. Plates with little snackies sit on top of the glasses and the drink straw goes through the center of the plate. The glasses are on a rattan table next to a blue pool with palm trees in the background. I want to go to there.

I took a pic with that guy when I went to small claims court in 2013, wearing my most responsible outfit

Me standing in front of the Father of the Waters statue in Minneapolis City Hall. He is big honking Greek god type with long flowing hair. I am dressed for court in a burgundy sheath dress and black cardigan, holding the Levenger brief bag my parents gave me as a graduation gift, obviously expecting a more illustrious career than the one that has resulted

My kid asked what Palm Sunday is and I couldn’t remember so I googled it, and this is one of those “at no point can you predict what’s coming next” sentences

What is Palm Sunday?

Palm Sunday commemorates when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey the week leading up to his crucifixion and death.

Third-grader reports that some chump boy in her class didn’t know the word sexism and tried to tell her that her project was inappropriate for school. The irony is THICK.

A child’s art project: A hinged shoebox, opened to reveal a pop up figure of a girl with a banner above her reading “WOMEN EMPOWERMENT.” On the floor of the shoebox is a crowd of stick-figure spectators. On the inside of the lid are calls to action: Don’t be sexist! Let women do what they want to do! No more sexism! Etc.

I guess we’re not calling them bills anymore; we’re calling them “balances available.”
