I am glad this piece about the Heritage Foundation threatening civil war if the left doesn’t accept a monarchy came out in the WaPo. More like this, please.

Last night while coming home I saw the most beautiful view of the St. Paul skyline I've ever seen. Thankfully I was able to pull off on Point Douglas Road before the light faded.

Yes. When the recipe calls for one chipotle, I just assume that means one can.

You can just double the lemon juice and add some lemon zest to your homemade hummus. Nobody’s going to stop you (me).

The face of a self-satisfied tan tabby after spending the day devouring an entire bunny. That guy is 20yrs old. Thought his hunting days were behind him. Maybe not!

This is a good piece and I have been thinking about this since the Supreme Court's decision on gerrymandering in 2019. In general, if people can vote out politicians that enact policies that don't have popular support, that's what they do. Violence happens when elections really don't matter.

These are the stakes. This is one of the premier organs of “intellectual conservatism,” and they see the immunity ruling as transformative and revolutionary, and they are signaling the willingness to do violence to defend their gains. Make everyone you know understand these stakes.

These are bonkers numbers. I really hope the Legislature can come back with a new process, and a ton more funding to meet this super-high demand next year. People want better ways to get around! Ebikes are such a low-cost way to provide mobility options to so many!

I hope some will also wake up to the stupidity of absolutely gutting government services and farming them out to the consultant class.

No. Because those worms aren't native here - they were imported. Likely from a country with less bland pallets than we tend to have here.

March 23 1933, the Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances. The passing of the Act marked the formal transition from democratic republic to totalitarian dictatorship. 6 months later, it was a 1 party state.

if the supreme court, as it currently stands, is not remade or destroyed, we are living in an autocracy, one in which the people are utterly politically helpless. this situation cannot be allowed to stand. no solution to the problem of SCOTUS is too radical to consider, now.

Question: After SCOTUS ruling, can Biden now order DOJ to prosecute Manchin/Sinema on trumped up charges if they refuse to vote to end the filibuster and appoint four new justices? Wouldn't order to DOJ be absolutely immune, and wouldn't threat to the senators be at minimum presumptively immune?

Yeah, I saw that on the google maps images. I'd bet that if the water ever got that high, they would add sandbags to the bottom of the "wall" as well.

Holy crap! That infrastructure on Hardman is wild! I've seen similar up around the Holman Field runways but didn't realize they also existed in South Saint Paul. Must be part of the whole levee system!

you'll often see a cat's ear twitch for no reason. that's because a ghost is talking to them. ghosts talk to cats constantly. they never shut up. that's why cats are so tired all the time. some random dead Victorian dude won't stop telling them how much mutton costs in 1872.

If you do that, you should get Rob to do a cover of AC/DC's Hells Bells, with the words changed to Dells Bells. I'm sure that would impress the Groom's family. 😂
