Is there a healthy fascination with Hitler?

Can people outside MN easily access and watch the state high school hockey tournaments?
It’s genuinely astonishing how good this hockey is.

My daughter discovered an entire free channel that plays Saved By the Bell 24-7 but it’s just…random? So Kelly and Zack are together and no wait it’s Zack and Stacey Carosi and now they’re in college and now Miss Bliss and I hate it

Box full of presents and a rainbow cake

Box full of presents and a rainbow cake

Folks, it was great. Cake, decorations (most not pictured here), presents, and huge smiles. Mom told me she prays for our country’s leadership every day, that they may draw nearer to God and experience God’s love. It’s really something to be in the presence of such kindness, faith, and grace.

I think as long as you don’t upstage or embarrass him, and adhere tightly to the theories that make him feel well, you’re mostly safe

I just do not see a current world in which Trump endorses Cornyn over Paxton.
Paxton spoke at the J6 rally. Vociferously endorsing Trump’s stolen election theory - which is central to his own wellness - is, IMO, an insurmountable advantage for Paxton.
But hey! I’ve been wrong before.

The most beautiful part is that most everyone is doing a little bit. It makes it more connected feeling and less overwhelming.

It really is the unifying theory

The existence of a Markwayne suggests the existence of a Matthewwayne, a Lukewayne, and a…. holy shit, and a Johnwayne.

Things are bad in so many ways but today I get to bring a birthday to a 2-yr-old who hasn’t left the house in 2026.
Someone made a fancy cake.
Someone got decorations.
I bought gifts.
This situation has probably scarred me for life but it has also created the chance to be a better community.

Why aren’t the bottom edges of these … whatever these are … lined up?

This is the most embarrassing rendering I’ve ever seen in my life, and I dated my husband when he was in architecture school

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

You know who else lost their job?
A husband and wife I know who were fired from the cleaning company they worked for when they started hiding from ICE so their family wouldn’t be torn apart.
