Hardly the biggest or most groundbreaking issue, but by using a website called ‘swamp the vote’ to direct his supporters to Trumpy candidates, isn’t that a tacit admission that his fans and acolytes are part of the so-called “swamp” that they supposedly hated and were going to drain?

A movie couple that would definitely have a podcast:

Three hours and 16 minutes until it will let me download the audio book! Congratulations on everything. Can’t wait to see you tomorrow.

Dear Brandon Beach, US Bureau of Engraving and Printing, et al.- Here is a Trump signature you can use on your dollar bills. -Regards

The air quotes around “Special Advisor”… It may be petty or immature but I still kind of love it. Like a grandma asking their teenage grandkid who their special friend is who is always hanging around.

Thank you kindly. I hope The American Journalism Project is okay.

Dear Rihanna: Please let this Letter serve to represent that I am withdrawing my invitation to you to be my girlfriend, which is the most prestigious of all boyfriend/girlfriend situations ever, at any time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! MINNESOTAJOE3 NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND ANYMORE

Trump saying the quiet part out loud, in an incredible Freudian slip, calling last night an attack on sovereignty.

Vatican: “You are the Pope for the whole world now. You can’t celebrate American Thanksgiving.” Pope Leo: “That’s ridiculous. I’m the Pope. I can do what I want” Vatican: “Perhaps you make just a subtle, roundabout nod to the holiday.” Pope Leo: “Bet”

Oh look at that. They polled Chuck Schumer.

Truths in advertising, I guess. BMS Foods landing page talks about how shrimp “can help prevent against cancer” which, based on the double negative, implies they cause cancer.

Wordle is just making up words today… I got it in four but the whole time I’m typing it in, I’m thinking “that’s not really a word, is it?” Based on Google Trends, the country appears to agree. (No spoilers in the image) Wordle 1,464 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟨🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Elbows up! (from Northern Minnesota. Shirt by PeaceLoveCanada in Burlington, Ontario)

Big whatever this is energy.

Ordered an Elbows Up shirt and got this message from the seller. 💀 Why my dad chose to move from Winnipeg to the US after college is beyond me, but I’ll never forgive him.

The editor’s note at the end of the print story though…

I’d like to think I’m not a dummy. I try to stay educated. I read. I write. I’ve had a personal subscription to at least one newspaper since I was in 6th grade… but I am today years old (43) when I learned that Op-Ed means “opposite the Editorial page” and not “Opinion/Editorial”

The MAGA/Tesla crowd finally found this IG post from a Kia dealer in Lørenskog, Norway. It had been up for nearly a month already. Now they are all commenting how Kia should be canceled. Kinda rich coming from the ‘legalize comedy/anti-cancel culture’ crowd.

Sooooo much winning.

Did I do this right? Cc: @eve6.bsky.social

My favorite Travis Kelce era is his “throwing a flag on the ref” era. (2016)

Not sure if you’d call that 38 or 39, but either way, it’s close enough to make me nervous for a couple more days of this weather… from Virginia, MN.

My favorite thing that I have learned this week is that @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social is two days younger than Bryan and (imho) looks younger than the guy spending millions to ‘stop’ aging… except for during Pizzamas when John grows a mustache.

Viewing party at my house in glorious 480p. The first season will even have black bars on the side because it was released in 4:3 aspect ratio.

And so the batshit craziness begins… or continues… or whatever. Ugh.
