Minnesotans avoid Culver’s as much as they avoid Kwik Trip …
“There are Minnesota people who don’t eat at Culver’s because it’s a Wisconsin brand,” according to the announcer of this Gopher-Badger game. These people do not exist, you are making up a guy to tell us about.

Related to pt 2, anyone in a state or national Dem leadership position who still thinks ICE brutality isn’t a “kitchen table issue” is completely delusional.
It’s a topic at family dinner. It’s a topic at my aunt’s book club. It’s a topic at my uncle’s church group. They see it for what it is.

I’m on a roll.
Someone needs to take my crochet hooks away from me.
Found this awesome, adorable pattern for a popcorn kernel AND piece of popcorn. What a cute pair!
So I made it. And I like it. 🧶 🍿 🌽
Their names are Floss and Puff, respectively. Please be kind. They are sensitive.

The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln just ran a TV ad during the Husker game urging people to call regents and oppose the unit from being cut. That’s a new one for me.

Just had Thankgiving with a bunch of folks in their mid 70s; my evening was done at 9 p.m. and I am 100% sure they are going to be up until midnight. I felt like lying down on the bed in the guest room

Something I’ve talked about before is that a real class divide in this country is over what percentage of the time you’re on the clock that you’re Actually Working. Many retail jobs are close to 100%, sometimes more with wage theft, while I’ve seen office jobs under 10%
Not to call out my wonderful partner who I love but she works corporate and we did the math and she works under 28 hours a week. She did half a shift at a retail store for the holiday and nearly died
