Screening phone calls when you're a public servant is definitely not Midwest nice.
Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

This is accurate and Midwest nice.
Since we seem to be getting a minor influx of awful people, a reminder that the block here is very powerful, and one of the best things you can do is just deny these people access to victims to bully

Trying something new and harmless is Midwest nice (and fun).
I’ve booked time in the recording studio at the library. I’m going to really try this podcasting thing. Please wish me luck!

Doing this is Midwest nice.
In lieu of church services tomorrow, the able-bodied in our congregation is going out to help people in the county dig out from the hurricane. No fuss. No evangelizing. Just a group of people doing like Jesus and damn it if that’s not how you’re supposed to Christian.

Bluesky (so far) is Midwest nice.
Bluesky is healthy because it has an aggressive immune response to bigots, trolls, spammers, engagement-baiters and edgelords, pretty much like nothing ever seen before on a large social site
There are a lot of people who still believe healthy social media = 'flat politeness across the board'

Relationship ended? Your time hasn't been wasted. The book ended. Now, you're the author of the best-selling sequel. Lessons learned, revisions were made, the writing is better... just like a very good story, it's evolving into an epic with a new direction.

This kind of victim blaming is not Midwest nice.

You will encounter many people who seem quiet, unremarkable, whose names will never grace the history books, who will never achieve fame. Yet, many, maybe even most of those will be somebody's hero, somebody's shining light. That is glorious. Maybe you are one of them, too.

One of the best things we could do to protect workers and rebuild the middle class is this:
Pass a law capping CEO pay as some reasonable multiple of the lowest paid employee or contractor.
If CEOs could only make, say, 20x base worker pay — you’d see that worker’s pay go up real quick.

Flight attendants, deemed essential workers, are sleeping in their cars and working gig jobs to supplement their $20k/year salary, while airline execs make 1000 times that.
It's truly shocking how much we have normalized extreme income inequality.

My secret to the perfect burger? The patty is 80% dry mashed potato flakes. Not really but you can literally write anything you want on here. You can tell lies and people eat it up. They're basically idiots!

This take is appropriate and Midwest nice.
When Trump leaves his running mate out of things, can we please not respond with “Poor JD”?
Vance would force an 11-year-old to have her rapist’s baby, and he’s a grown-ass man who chose to throw in a fraud who tried to have his last running mate killed.
Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.
