Who the eff starts a land war in Minnesota in January? Are the people dispatching ice agents really that dumb? (I think I answered my own question)

Hey government teachers; how's that "checks and balances" unit going?

What book are you reading?

Iowans will comment on Cooper DeJean's obituary, 60 years from now... It wasn't a fair catch!

What can I, an ordinary citizen in the middle of the country, do right now?

telling myself and my thousands of followers (ha) that I am going to write a novel in 2026.

All I'm asking is that when you do your year in memoriam, especially if it's focused on musicians, you remember Bobby Hart, songwriter and member of Boyce and Hart.

My facebook feed is filled with people reposting the awful thing he said about Rob Reiner. Stop giving him attention! It's what he wants!

I feel like they should let this elderly man not play football, but my husband says the man is having fun

To the man who wrote to The Gazette today: I am truly sorry about friends you have lost to drug use. What you are failing to grasp is that "Sec Pete" isn't killing drug dealers. He's killing fishermen with no recourse. That won't bring your friends back.

"I forgot that your username is from pop culture and for a minute I thought someone wrote fanfic about my mom"

In this Ohio town, it was tradition: Latin mass, biscuits and gravy at Bob Evans, and then down to the old marina to shoot a bunch of fishermen and claim they were running drugs. But now the woke mob wants to take all that away.

I just was shown an ad indicating that I could order Build-a-Bear from Uber and I am trying to imagine a scenario in which I would need that

I think I am the only 1990s graduate of the University of Iowa who never took Quest for Human Destiny. Anyway, rest in peace, professor.

Dare we hope this means a governor Sand in Iowa next year? And maybe getting MMM and Hinson out of congress?

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS!! NO COVER!! IOWA CITY!” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

It's "Willy hears ya. Willy don't care." Which I use in response to things like the oven timer going off (while getting things out of the oven)

I too am terminally online but I use my time to watch Tiny Chef videos

Students being progressive is not a bigger problem than a sustained assault by an authoritarian president, please get a grip www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Beloit, WI revitalized its waterfront and chose this way to celebrate it: by bringing to life Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."

No Kings Iowa City Iowa #nokings

Can't wait for them to pick the drummers and guitarists for the next Lollapalooza! (This is an NFL draft joke)

I look forward to Gazette columnist Althea Cole's visit to El Salvador, which she claims to be "the safest country in Central America." Have fun, Althea!

Is anyone at The University of Iowa demanding that MMM or Grassley find out WHY their students' visas were canceled?

I wonder how this all ends.

Iowa City, Iowa

It would be nice to live in a state in which our legislators don't actively hate my county. (Johnson County: passes minimum wage law. State: Counties can't have their own minimum wage.) #iowa

Yep

Goodbye, sweet Harley

Yes, of course he's defying court orders. There's fuck all I can do about it. My representatives and senators are complicit.

Megan Follows and (Louise) Robey share a birthday, March 14. Two famous redheads from 1980s franchises. This has been "news that is probably only relevant to me."

Funny how it's always "dems woulda won if they just let Bernie run" and not "if they just let Elizabeth Warren run." We were promised President Lisa Simpson, after all.

@melton4iowa.bsky.social Are you running again in '26?

Do me a favor. If you see this, throw me a "like."

@saturdaynightlive.bsky.social Fix your mic levels so we can hear the interviews and not all the background noise

I wish there were some magic words that I, or anyone, could say to get our elected republican officials to realize that no, this is not just Politics As Usual

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Harley would like to report that it is snowing.

Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it. So we moved over to blue sky. Help us build another great following right here where the skies are clear and the water is fine ;-) Please do Follow Retweet & repeat

My 24 year old child has strong PuppyMonkeyBaby memories from her freshman year of high school

It's sad that Quincy Jones passed, and he deserves to be honored at the Grammys. Just maybe not for this long.

I-O-W-A!

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Ok! The kid submitted her scholarship application, and I submitted my short story for the @nycmidnight.bsky.social contest, and now we can both chill.

So, turns out, I had a Vitamin D deficiency for his whole first term. Maybe that's why I was so angry?! No, wait, I have solved that problem, and I'm still not willing to forgive anyone who walked into a voting booth and marked his name. YOU own this chaos and cruelty, trump voters.

Democrats are not going down without a fight. In fact, we’re going to take it all back, bit by bit, because we’re pissed off and motivated as hell.
