I come to you with a headline from the newspaper in Duluth, Minn.

AIPAC is such a name-brand bogeyman but can we finally agree that they clearly don't know the first thing about what to do with their donors' money

Of course Thai restaurants in Minnesota have all the lowland staples, but the Hmong population calls for many takeout menu items more associated with the highlands of Laos and Vietnam. These "suki wings" are served in tomato broth with peppers and onions, pungent with thick freshwater fish sauce

my instinct is to call all monarchs "queen," but both of these are kings! The clearest sign is on the guy visiting the red zinnia — a black spot near the bottom of the wings, towards the thorax — but the veins are also much thinner on males, as you see on the guy visiting the orange zinnia

putting up another iced Busy Beaver from Five Watt yes I've posted it before idc I can't get over how it's like the only iced coffee drink that photographs this beautiful

need to own my own home someday bc I am the only person in the world that truly sincerely loves wallpaper

btw as much as I love a regular tomato sandwich one of the best takes on a BLT you can do is the one from the always flawless Deb Perelman's "Smitten Kitchen Keepers," please note the pickled iceberg, yes, pickled iceberg, after the first batch of this I triple the recipe when I make it now bc UNFF

having tomato sandwich (slice of fat tomato, Duke's mayo, salt, pepper on white bread) for lunch again today

I'm familiar enough with Vermont People that I'm reading this and nodding, like, "ykw. it's a little Much, can't say I would have done the same thing, but....... I truly understand where this comes from"

in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...

I do not think it is healthy, normal, or helpful in any way to you or anybody else to waste your time foaming at the mouth about things that are simply not true

I hope you’re happy Dr. Robin Zasio Hive I had to figure out CapCut for this

it's August

my contribution to any early stage COVID discourse is I still think the Drag Race Season 12 remote finale is one of the most impressive, fiercely creative modern television broadcasts that stands in a class of its own as a feat of the medium

Rachel Chinouriri is I'm convinced someone that you're going to be hearing about, "One Song Away From Crying" is a punchy buttery anthem of serving full puss through tears which is really a mood (she's opened for Florence and will support Gracie Abrams tour this fall) www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL5Z...

there should be a machine that washes and dries your hands for you

love drinking liquids. hate having to pee

the Sunday NYT goes to Kentucky and moaningly asks "yes, of course alcohol is a catastrophic contributor to massive excess mortality, ruiner of millions of lives through addiction, and generally directly responsible for great death and suffering, but who will fund the Louisville Symphony :-/"

discovered that Florrie has been posting drum-along/sing-alongs to her TikTok for years now so that's my evening arranged (this is Sabrina Carpenter, "Taste," of course)

FLORRIE is back!!! After drumming on Kylie Minogue albums and on tour with her, she's dropped little nuggets of solo music here and there (2011 "Experiments" EP made a huge impression on me) and today she's preparing an album cycle, it's catchy, dreamy, and laid true www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yert...

Iced Baklava Latte (spiced honey, pistachio butter) from Curioso in Uptown Minneapolis

Ariana's appearance in the video for "Petal" is deeply shocking. I really don't know what to do other than say that it's scary, but I've seen enough people struggle through eating problems to know it's not helpful to pretend everything is OK

the Recent Searches list is in reverse chronological order so I keep scratching my head at how, having discovered that "u" got me to the content I desired, I still, subsequent to that discovery, with that discovery visible on the screen, went to the trouble of typing u-n-h-h-h with the remote

KLM is short for "Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij" so that's why they go by KLM

you can butter the outside of the bread in a PB&J and throw it in a hot pan btw. it's legal

"I may be bad, but, I'm perfectly good at it" is a great lyric

the store brand of frozen pizzas at Cub Foods (that's a real grocery store here in Minnesota) is called "Culinary Circle" and the back has a confounding statement about how they make pizzas circular because, and I quote, "Here at Culinary Circle™, we embrace the beauty of circles" and I just.

walking out of Kowalski's with a Minnesota tomato that weighed in on the scale at exactly 1.000 lbs

the solution to "I don't want to eat this particular prepared meal/unit of leftovers" etc is why don't you just fry a couple eggs and throw them on top of it

in receipt of a targeted ad that prominently features a toilet with an app

Ladytron's 2006 "Destroy Everything You Touch" is one of the most main character energy songs, and they blessed us with a performance of it in the KEXP studio last week, it's such a dangerous, intense, repeated gut-punch and Helen Marnie sounds amazing, masterful www.youtube.com/watch?v=7heL...
