Yippee (said sarcastically) looks like we got the jackpot for new snow a week after the last two foot storm. I'm long past the age where I enjoy snow anywhere but in the mountains.

"'She put her finger right between my booty crack, so I grabbed her wrist quick and said, Hold up, slut, ain't nobody sticking nothing in my butt.' You think that's Kid Rock or Bad Bunny?"

Old 97's - Champaign Illinois (Bing Lounge) YouTube video by 101.9 KINK.FM

Reminds me that when Rhett Miller of Old 97s riffed off of Desolation Row, he got Dylan's permission and gave him a co-writing credit.

I can barely stand any of the cable news channels any more, and long ago stopped watching the network news. But I could watch these three all day.

George Cabot Lodge, Last of His Family to Battle a Kennedy, Dies at 98 The two Massachusetts clans faced off in elections for decades, until a final 1962 Senate race. Despite his loss, Mr. Lodge praised his opponent, Ted Kennedy.

George Cabot Lodge, who unlike four of his ancestors lost in his attempt to gain a Massachusetts seat in the U.S. Senate, enabling a member of a rival dynasty, Edward Kennedy, to begin a five-decade congressional career, died this month. He was 98.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

I’ve long been inspired by people from Minnesota (Bob Dylan, Paul Westerberg, and Prince to name a few) but now am inspired by the whole damn state.

A picture of the Mary Tyler Moore statue in downtown Minneapolis, depicting the iconic moment from the show where she throws her hat in the air. But the hat has been covered over with a protesters cardboard sign, reading β€œFUCK ICE.”

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says β€œfuck ice.”

Just flipped on Stop Making Sense as David Byrne sings "Our President's crazy, did you hear what he said?" (from Making Flippy Floppy). Think he was way ahead of his time.
