“Was heavily engaged with the University of Missouri football and basketball teams” is the new funniest I’ve ever seen on LinkedIn

Oh, you just had to flash that zero points graphic FS1 🤣 #BlueCy

What the hell did TJ tell these guys at half 🤣 #BlueCy

Incumbent energy industries latching onto popular new concepts to advance clean energy and twisting them into a way to keep status quo fossil fuel businesses propped up?! Never heard of such a thing!

Trying to make good use of leftover cranberry-orange relish www.beyondthechickencoop.com/cranberry-or...

The announcers describing Carson Hansen like some kind of serial killer 🤣 #BlueCy

So distracting getting electrical work done when I work from home, mostly because it’s incredibly easy to slip into a conversation geeking out about #induction cooking or whatever 🤣 💡🔌

Randy Feenstra campaigning for governor like the entire state population is his grandma telling him what a big boy he’s becoming while he shows off the wings the pilot gave him on the flight to visit. 🤣

ALSO: Cannabis should be legalized federally too.

There have, no joke, been THREE different restaurants within 5 minutes of my house that had a car crash through their front window in the past 9 months.

Cruelly informed that my flight home from our conference in Milwaukee is apparently just hours before #Timberwolves vs. Bucks. Haven’t seen the Wolves in person since I was a teenager and I’m just missing ANT vs. Giannis 😭😩

Brought a friend to help me break down equitable building decarb and thermal networks at the @midwestdecarb.bsky.social summit today 💡🔌 #TENs #decarbonization

Cant imagine why Hegseth would have issues with Union generals…

Defense! Who knew? #BlueCy

Hell, yeah Des Moines making some good decisions tonight I see!!!

This is what the Quadbox was built for.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

A decision today by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit protects furnace standards set to reduce heating costs for many households-- saving households replacing an inefficient furnace with a new model an average of $350 over the life of the furnace. appliance-standards.org/document/cou...

#DesMoines Do not let them use the Roberts situation to sink this bond issue! It’s critically needed!

We accumulated so many middle schoolers in our trick or treat group this year 🤣

Coming up tomorrow! This week’s PUC 102 is all about how to write an effective public comment, and we’re bringing back Dave Farnsworth from RAP. He’ll even dissect one of Midwest BDC’s past comments RSVP here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

“mr speaker do you have any concerns about the amount of information your staff is apparently hiding from you” is a pretty obvious question that needs to be asked

Can’t wait for Gaines to finish tied for 5th in a two person debate

Again, the thing that explains the last decade of GOP politics best might be Iowa legislators trying to end all research agreements with Stanford after their marching band made a Farmers Only joke during the Rose Bowl halftime show

Might have needed that bye week, lol #BlueCy

Great another slow start 🌪️🏈 #BlueCy

My favorite part of #Tron: Ares was when Evan Peters said "Forces of darkness, empower me! Take me back to my virtual reality!"and then summoned his Trons

Clean Energy Districts of Iowa has posted the recording of the renter energy burden roundtable moderated by Jacob Serling. ENERGY BURDEN ROUNDTABLE CEDI Learning youtu.be/XsJ2lhxC0JU?... @jserf.bsky.social

Politics aside, just raising a 13yo boy, it would’ve been nice to have a high profile example of this! Constant battle to get to understanding and embrace if the difference between ‘say whatever gets me out of trouble as fast as possible’ and actual apology and care.

It shouldn’t be controversial across the Dem left spectrum to say “Whatever I thought of his message, not taking care of this on his own prior or at the very beginning of his campaign raises some valid questions of his judgment as a potential senator”

Hand-picked conservative task force coincidentally lands on grab bag of pet conservative spending cuts and tax breaks

You have agency GOP! You want it open, get your shit together and actually govern

I sure hope my beloved Cyclones of the Iowa State University of Science and Technology in Ames, IA can get back to winning football after their bye this weekend

Schools should be allowed to issue and enforce tickets on parents that can’t follow proper pick-up/drop-off procedures. Dump the proceeds into budget for additional bus routes, crossing guards, etc

Damn, they really turned on Josh Giddey fast

I’d also add that #asthma is the leading correlation of absenteeism (see below), and a serious effort to combat those absences needs to seriously engage with the causes of poor indoor/outdoor air quality in those families homes. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

Remember when Chuckles was deeply invested in restoring the constitutional role of Congress in trade/tariffs but couldn’t even muster enough juice to get a bill out of committee or get another Iowa rep/senator to take up the issue? #Iowa #Grassley

#DesMoines Do not let them use the Roberts situation to sink this bond issue! It’s critically needed!

How is every Mike Johnson press conference not 95%: “Who is in charge of briefing you every day?”, “Did you bother to google that thing we asked about yesterday and you claimed ignorance on?”, and “Are you legally blind and not disclosing that to the public?”?

we're getting to the point with this weekend where if you are a person who needs protesting advice, you should probably ignore any protest advice not coming from like the NLG, ALCU etc because random people are not having the best ideas about it right now

The dumbest part of this is that ESPECIALLY with No Kings its clearly having a trickle out to those areas he deems more essential to reach. My mom is all pumped to go to the protest in my conservative 15k pop hometown that’s 100% inspired by what they saw happening in Minneapolis in June

I have pretty openly been lukewarm at best on @robsandia.bsky.social and his gubernatorial campaign, but I will give credit where it’s due that I think his response here has gotten better and appreciate the willingness to call out obvious bad faith “concern” from conservative parties in the state.

Just a reminder that the folks screaming the loudest to vote no on the Des Moines school bond issue because “they can’t be trusted now” are actually the ones all in siphoning Ed tax dollars…as long as it goes to *their* buddies and donors

Big developers and Home Builders Associations frequently claim that energy codes that save money, improve comfort, and make healthier homes will cause housing construction to slow down. The data shows this simply isn’t true. #Housing #BuildingCodes #EnergyBurden” www.aceee.org/blog-post/20...

For the life of me I'll never understand why Vance's blood libel of Haitian immigrants in Ohio wasn't the end of him appearing on TV or, at the very least, being asked every time he starts an interview, "Why should we believe you when you admitted you were lying about that?"

Blue dot those masked thugs!
