The GOP ballot is loaded with people you have never heard of and never will hear of again

The free teevee movie channel is running Thin Man movies all day, so our entertainment calendar is booked.
These really are the skills young people need these days
Sarah E. Bond@sarahebond.bsky.social · yesterdayWhen I think of Homer, I think of the Homer statue at the University of Virginia—and the fact that for over 25 years, Ted Lendon has been making students (including me, once) learn how to march in a phalanx on the lawn. ⚔️
Our Capitol is full of giant rats, too, only theirs are SO much more cuter than ours

Again? If you though the frat guys in "Breaking Away" were bad, that's nothing compared to the real thing.

Picked up some yummy pasteries at 85°C Bakery for our breakfast today. Folks, this place is legit. Opens at 10 am, but you can buy the day before for an earlier breakfast. In the Northtown Mall Asia Villiage.
I was just thinking of some of the crazy finishes to gubernatorial races since we moved to MN. Grunseth's hot tub scandal. Mike Hatch's E85 meltdown. Of, course, Jesse V's unlikely victory. Say what you will about Minnesota politics, it's not boring.
Okay, I want to see photos of that Hoosier gator wearing high heels. 👀
KARE 11@kare11.bsky.social · 2d agoAfter police were called to a rogue alligator on an Indiana street, officers called in a wildlife expert who wrangled the escape artist while wearing high heels.
We're all familiar with this narrative by now, and I can't help but wonder why the GOP doesn't get similar attention for its primary candidates. In MN, the party is challenging the eligibility of its own leading candidate for governor 🧐
NPR@npr.org · 2d agoDemocratic primary elections in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota have made the Midwest a test case for whether progressive candidates can win in competitive states and what electability really means. n.pr/4hdLR0y
Tomorrow is our 42nd wedding anniversary. Best decision I ever made, although I am not sure if Mrs L would say the same. 😉
I've started to put my Election Judge Go Bag together. Our day starts at 6 am and doesn't end until late in the evening, so I pack everything I might need for a VERY long day at the polls. Medicines? ✔️ Seat cushion? ✔️ Paperback copy of The Odyssey? ✔️
The "electability" factor in the tight DFL primary race for an open Senate seat is pretty much a wash, IMHO. Outstate MN isn't going to vote for the lesbian candidate OR the Native candiate. They will vote as they always do. The DFL-leaning folk just need to show up in November. Please?
Coming up empty on my search for Nut Goodies bars before they are all gone. I'll have to try some not-so-usual suspects, like hardware store candy counters.

Can anyone in the Twin Cities area recommend an exterminator? We have yellow jackets nesting inside our home, and all our efforts to kill them have failed. We normally leave the bugs alone, but this cannot stand.
Decided to take advantage of this beautiful morning and go fishing. I caught 3 fish, all returned to the water. Two little bait-stealers and one very respectable-sized bluegill.
Washington Week is always better when Jeffrey Goldberg is not in the host's chair. His pauses and asides really slow down a public affairs show with a lot to cover in 30 minutes.
Watched the televised debate between Mr. Pillow and Mr. Whatshisname on tpt. The winner was Lisa Demuth 😉
Some of my big hits on this platform happen not because of my original content, but because I rise early, scan news outlets, and comment/repost the stories that catch my eye. By the time the news outlet posts their story on @bsky.app, I already had it out there. I'm looking at you, @mprnews.org
Well, knock me down with the lumpy pillow! The only candidate to give a full (and surprisingly coherent) responce was Mike Lindell. 🧐 minnesotareformer.com/2026/07/31/w...

Someone in the replies threw shade at my post about the movie "Charade," but I don't respond to people who don't know the difference between Lee Marvin and James Coburn.
