Brazilian observations. Read the whole thread, but this jumped out.

Bovino admits we kicked his ass

hell yeah. Bovino says that he and the Trump administration leaving Mpls was "surrender". I will never stop hating this pissy violence toddler, and will never forget him gleefully handing out tear gas to his goons like so many party favors. Surrendered, you did. www.bbc.com/news/article...

It’s been a while since I have watched a baseball game and man the hi-def slo-mo clips of pitches really show off the extreme range of motion of the connective tissue of the human arm

I have left the Milwaukee bar, I have my limits of excitement and my companion (my 23yo son) has to get up v. early in the morning. Still, a fun way to spend five innings.

the Milwaukee bar did not like that

Because of a series of unlikely events, I am in a Milwaukee bar watching game 1 of the WS

petition to get rid of the drooling emoji it is gross

You'd be surprised how easy it is for some people to confuse "she set a single boundary" with "she wanted me to get out of her life" and it's because they can't fathom having a relationship that has any boundaries, therefore an enforced boundary equals the end of the relationship.

one for me one for my college kid’s absentee ballot which we retrieved from Fargo last weekend on a visit and I hand-delivered to Mpls Election and Voter Services today
