Life isn’t a zero-sum game. There’s room for all of us to succeed.

Really disappointing choice by @washingtonpost to withhold an endorsement, especially during an election as important as this. Much respect to @michele_norris.

As of yesterday, I have decided to resign from my role as a columnist for The Washington Post — a newspaper that I love. In a moment like this, everyone needs to make their own decisions. This is the reasonfor mine. 🧵

@CheyCab I mean, the people stealing these signs are just encouraging folks to continue donating to the Harris-Walz campaign by purchasing new signage.

@FrederickMelo It’s curious that they didn’t commission a local artist and/or fabricator for this project. Why would they hire an LA artist to create something that’s so symbolic for MN? Missed opportunity to connect more deeply with the community.

😳 OMG!

@FrederickMelo Ugh. We just want a safe, updated street.

@MNUFC @AllianzLife Yaaaaaaaay! Go Tani! Go DSC! 💙

@skinnyprinsess Husband + I live car-free in a US city, but grew up in our car-centric society. Imo:

<15 mins: grocery store
<30 mins: acceptable commute
1+ hr: starts to feel far
1-2 hrs: fun day trip
2-4 hrs: long weekend trip
5+ hrs: road trip, ideally longer at destination than a weekend

@patiomensch If it’s working well for you, that seems to be the answer right there. Wait until you really want/need a new one.

Also, the recipes in their cookbook are fantastic! I’m definitely the fail-factor in today’s foibles.

The ones I chose for tonight are wonderful + easy (I tested them last week: a delightful purple sweet potato bars and a flavorful chickpea stew).

Some friends do a club where they hold a potluck from the same cookbook. They’re doing the World Central Kitchen Cookbook this time, and I’m joining.

For tonight I chose 2 recipes but since I had overripe bananas I made the banana bread recipe this morning for funzies.

The club chose this book prior to the terrible killing of 7 World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza by Israeli strikes. Since we chose their #cookbook for our gathering, we’re holding a small #fundraiser to honor them.

@MovieMantz We just saw it and we loved it. Three of us left the theater smiling and talking about it. Our friend literally said she was glad she saw it in the theater because of the effects and immersive feeling, and she’s going to recommend it to everyone. 🍿🎥

@patiomensch Do you ever look in the community comments? This was only one of maybe three wordles that the bot failed to solve (at least in hard mode). As of about 8am this morning the stats had only a 70% solve rate by the 6th guess; usually it’s in the high 90s. This was a tough one.

Update: we’re going with Vikings and Goddesses for dessert pie.

Saint Paul folks, where are you getting your pies for #PiDay2024?
