Ah, fsck, I'm just an old guy that hates Nazis and insurrectionist assholes.
I'm usually more trying to be funny than I am trying to piss anyone off.
Except Nazis.

The more i see how big companies run, the more it feels like a poorly-conceived, untested set of homebrew RPG rules.

Today, I'm thinking of Paul, Sheila, Marcia, Mary, Tom and Will. They were taken from us much too soon. We honor their memories by continuing to organize every day.

Paul believed that when we all do better, we all do better.

So today, stand up and keep fighting. 💚

Everyone please diligently check your candy this year. I cracked open a snickers bar and not only did I find a copper ingot, but it was of poor quality.

Worse still, when my man Nanni confronted my neighbor about it, he was treated with disdain.

The Prince gave an excellent and brief speech about the friendship between our nations, acknowledged the indigenous peoples who were here first, and spoke in nearly unaccented English.

And he said Hei to MrsNotActuallyGritty as he walked by her.

Today, I get to see HRH Crown Prince Håkon of Norway.

My grandmother would be absolutely atwitter. Her joy would only be tempered by the fact that he's a Lutheran, and that's hardly any better than being a Catholic.

Også, jeg snakker litt norsk!

I don't know why patriot Charlie Kirk deleted this patriotic tweet about patriotic buses busing patriots to DC on Jan 6th, but the Internet never forgets.

Wait, the shooter is still at large? Luigi mangioni doesn't have a brother named Mario, does he? If so, does anyone know where he at?

Yo, anyone besides me wondering if the mango Mussolini had Charlie Kirk whacked because they'd had a falling out, or he was just now useful dead than alive?

My $EMPLOYER has about 6 townhalls per quarter, based on various leaders.
Each one begins with a talk about how our voice is heard. And then, goes on to prove that false, and further disenfranchise me. I feel compelled to attend, but it actively derails me.

FYI, none of these people are me. They are making the rounds on this site today asking people to follow them on WhatsApp and presumably do shenanigans. I don't use WhatsApp. I can only be reached on FarmersOnly.

Still July 4th for a couple more minutes, figured I'd post this for no particular reason.

Look, in all seriousness, if you need to understand outstate MN, just watch Drop Dead Gorgeous. It's pitched as a black comedy. The only thing fictional is how beautiful all the people are. Everything else? Dead on.

The security group at my employer sends the scammiest looking emails, every one of
Which has a vague "click this link to see the terrible thing you've done wrong"
I despise them.
I heard from people who got the SSA email w/good Qs like:

"Is this real?"
"Is it safe to click the link?"
"Why'd I get this? I never signed up for this."

This time it IS an email from an official government source.

Next time, when it comes from a scammer, how are they supposed to know?

I’m a product of my time/place, so I’m going with Guns N’ Roses. I couldn’t stand them, and they were huge at my high school.

On this day, 162 years ago, the 1st Minnesota Infantry charged confederate forces which outnumbered them 5-to-1. They took 82% casualties, and pried a battle flag from the Southern traitors. That flag is still in the possession of the MN historical society.
