Thinking about how Brazil really nailed the whole “plastic surgery aesthetic” of authoritarianism.

As close as we can get without really pushing into the crowd.

“Fuck ICE” on one side, your company logo on the other would probably do numbers.

Today was a sports double-header.

Currently watching Forward Madison FC own Chattanooga a few blocks from out home at Breese Stevens.

A little morning hockey and this game is a bit spicy.

MN Duluth Bulldogs bringing it and scored first.

But we still have two periods left. You got this Badgers!

I am in a happy place!

Home opener!

Let’s go Badgers!

At the same time as the Chicago raid, ICE made its first raid in Madison.

7 individuals were disappeared on the NE side.

They’re here in our city. What are we going to do about it?

Apple likely has a physical location near you.

Would be a shame if the energy brought to boycott Tesla in person was brought to let Apple know what we think.

Took a hike in Theodore Roosevelt recently with the family on our annual Western adventure.

Had hiked behind this buffalo for the final mile after we spooked each other at the crest of a hill.
