I’m making risotto with some good late summer Wisconsin sweet corn on Friday, watch this space

John Moe@johnmoe.bsky.social · 9m ago

Midwest summer corn with a little butter and salt is so good it would make anyone want to move here. It’s different than any other corn. I can’t even describe the difference but some of you know what I’m talking about.

Taking a break from my Thirty Year’s War audiobook to listen to the latest episode of @danshafer.bsky.social’s podcast on the WI primary. Maybe this is just my brain misfiring in the middle of the week, but my takeaway is that Hong needs to consolidate support among disgruntled Habsburg vassals.

Ruling out Minneapolis because of lack of Great Lakes. Chicago because no North Woods. Probably B. I get Milwaukee, Detroit, lots of Great Lakes, and some North Woods.

Major takeaway from the supporting casting in this is “holy shit Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was 11 years ago what the hell is with the unceasing linear passage of time”

We’re watching Devil Wears Prada 2 tonight. I’ve heard that it’s in part about dying print media and the changing industry, so I’m going to go ahead and assume that Anne Hathaway founds @defector.com

We're getting our roof replaced (uggh!) but our backyard neighbor, who is a retired shop teacher, has apparently been watching them all day and said they're doing a really good job, so we got that going for us!

One time I was getting an oil change at the Subaru dealership in Madison, and they had OAN on in the waiting room, which is a very funny bit of not knowing your audience

Nope, nice try. Not doing this to myself. You'll have to kill my ass

Well damn, this is cool

the Mountain Goats@themountaingoats.bsky.social · 2d ago

I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

Had to rebook my flight home via MSP instead of my original nonstop to Madison, but on the plus side got this view of my hometown, which is beautiful as always

Does the NBA really think a bunch of regular season games that nobody cares about is better for its bottom line than many of its best and funnest players regularly suffering the same season ending injury?

Mike Vorkunov@mikevorkunov.bsky.social · 2d ago

A new medical study says there is a link between an increase in minutes played in the games before an Achilles tear and a player suffering that injury. The NBA said that no relationship exists, according to its own internal research. Free to read: www.nytimes.com/athletic/748...

Being anti data center is one of Hong’s signature issues, this guy must have a thing for getting humiliated by DSA aligned candidates

Just saw a blacked out Cybertruck with a vanity plate that said “Eros” and buddy I think that’s aspirational

Sometimes when you go for a run on a work trip, it can provide a brief pause for reflecting, and it’s important to look for a place commensurate with that hey wait a second

Started reading “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” and something I definitely lost a little doing the audiobook a few years back is what a brutal little thug of the dying British Empire Ricki Tarr is.

Guy at the airport shop saw my Timberwolves cap and said something about how he thought they’d moved. Now I’m paranoid that they went to Tulsa or something in the offseason.

Sen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."

Watching the Devil Wears Prada and definitely wasn’t expecting this to be the first time I heard Belle and Sebastian in a movie that I can remember

Made duck breast with a pomegranate molasses, fig, and red wine sauce. Slightly overcooked the duck but the sauce was amazing.

You could tell the Confederacy was full of shit because they styled themselves after the Cavaliers and their head of state didn’t even get beheaded after they lost

I paused “Sheep Detectives” to tell my kids (7 and 5) that they should never do what the daughter did in saying she doesn’t want a lawyer. I’m not like the other dads, I’m a cool dad.

This dovetails with my proposed redesign for the Wisconsin state flag. We maintain exactly one element of the current flag, “1848,” but that’s the only element on a field of UW red
