In my South Minneapolis neighborhood, for whatever reason, there’s a mural of Astrud Gilberto. Yeah, I like it here.
Yes, Meet The Press sucks hard under Kristin Welker, and it sucked just as much with Chuck Todd, but this photo is a reminder that it was also an utter fucking nightmare when Tim Russert hosted.
I was worried about explosive diarrhea but now I have to deal with projectile vomiting.
This demeans all of us who have labored in the Mad Scientist profession.
You’re not a grassroots working class populous candidate if the dude behind your campaign is an elite Ivy League Bernie Bro douchenoodle.
So when a corrupt politician colludes with a corrupt sports organization to interfere with a game, we should admire that he “did something for us,” but trans kids participating in school athletics is UNFAIR? Got it.
I can see fireworks from my apartment. Kinda meh compared to the opening act…
Really dumb of white supremacist Patriot Front members to wear masks. Now CNN executives won’t know who is telegenic enough to put on one of their political discussion panels to provide “balance.”
Yup, Billy laid waste to the Svengoolie cap I’ve been wearing for years. His war against all I hold dear continues.
In the same way that the covid pandemic sparked interest in the movie Contagion, what’s happening in the reflecting pool could reinvigorate the discourse around the Mickey Rooney/Buddy Hackett opus, Everything’s Ducky.
In left photo, my dad is trying to warn Presidential candidate JFK that his brother Bobby gave birth to a douchebag. In right photo, you can’t see my dad’s face, but he’s directly confronting RFK, “Your namesake? What the fuck, dude!” Happy Father’s Day.
When you’re a writer, it’s helpful to read your work out loud to others for feedback. #caturday
How long did it take Trump to give this soldier his Medal of Honor? The first recipient in the ceremony was Audie Murphy.
Well, I guess at least be grateful that Bush is only photo bombing these days.
Trump‘s reflecting pool man. Has a strong “One of the first guys on the Lufthansa crew to get whacked by Jimmy” vibe.
Minnesota is known for its rehab centers, but we also have many fine relapse centers, like this Twin Cities icon right in my neighborhood.

Watched and enjoyed Ronnie Schell on many shows when I was a kid, Good Morning World, Gomer Pyle, etc. And he was a funny standup comedian, too. One of those comedy folks I saw at an impressionable age and thought, “I want to do that.” Rest In Peace.
These days a mere click gets you hundreds of folks opining on the latest film, and that’s not a bad thing. But when I was a kid there was one person on each TV channel who talked about movies and pop culture for a brief segment. Gene Shalit was the goofiest of that ilk. God bless him. Rest In Peace.
I blamed Billy for destroying my TV. I blamed Billy for destroying my computer screen. Last night my iPad charger died and I blamed him for that. I blame him so much it’s like I’m a Trump Administration official and Billy is Biden.
