Is there no one out there who would primary her? I mean, I'm not going to vote for Royce White if he runs against her again. But honestly. She's so out of it as to what's going on.

@carriemesrobian.bsky.social I am so done with Klobuchar. I really, really, really wish someone good would primary her.

I'm predisposed to like this.

One of the most TRUE signs I have ever seen at a march. Write this down and act upon it, friends. #NoKings #Manhattan

I found this a really illuminating thread on what demonstrations do and why they matter.

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!

Great signs at the Minneapolis #nokings

Ready.

Wanna to go to a virtual No Kings rally that focuses on healthcare (with a side of "vaccines are good, actually" and "eugenics is bad, actually")? Organized by disabled folks who can't go to an in-person event. Join Saturday at 2:30pm Pacific time, zoom link: us06web.zoom.us/j/8467741742...

Nothing like waking up to discover I was target by spam bots last night and was subscription-bombed.

Donald trump can still win the Nobel Peace prize if Mike Pence has the courage

I'm in.

Idk who needs to see this. But the quicker we can get the House to come back in DC. The better. Don't let up!! #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #SheShed

So, in some good news, it appears that Lauren Groff, Ann Patchett, and Elizabeth Strout all have new books out in 2026.

It's a shame that he'll be snubbed at the Oscars, because Indy the dog gives a stellar performance in Good Boy.

Now this is proper October weather.

Not loving the nearly 99 degrees in MN in October, but if that's what's happening, make lemonade.

The reprehensible misogyny of this Tylenol stuff today is breathtaking

Maybe as the world gets crueler and harder I will only get gentler and stranger.

Not sure it's a great idea to use a cemetery gate to advertise this event

Librarians should run the world.

Got the latest Covid vaccine. Suck it, Brain Worm Guy.

Still life: Dog with toys

Both last weekend and this weekend, I went to see a musical at a movie theater, and at each, the movie audiences were applauding and cheering the music. Last weekend was Prince's Sign o' the Times, this weekend Hamilton. Great fun!

I think it should be temporarily renamed “The White Hospice.”

There is a water main break on West 7th in St. Paul, so I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you see emergency vehicles outside the Children's Museum, everything is okay.

OK but seriously folks: it *is* tomato season. Sure, authoritarianism is bad, but it’s slightly less bad with two toasted slices of bread, a generous spread of mayo, some salt and pepper, and a thick slab of sun-warmed tomato.

Well. The Roseville Byerly's now has a beer and wine bar, open from 2-8 pm.

It appears I did not put enough thought into managing my library queue while I was on vacation.

Saw this book at Iceland's oldest bookstore is the Westfjords. Didn't buy it. Later saw it at our hotel and immediately regretted not buying it. Today, I checked the Reykjavik airport. And they had it. Multiple copies. The airport in Iceland has a bookstore that sells poetry. Be still my heart.

These are my people.

Beautiful morning in Stykkisholmur.

Of course we had to stop at Iceland's oldest bookstore, still in its original location with a display of ledgers from back in the day. And of course I bought a book.

Visited the museum, got the shirt.
