Today is my Not Gonna Die Day. Six years ago today, I was rushed to the hospital with what I'd later learn was severe sepsis. Sepsis recently claimed the life of my colleague's son. Please learn the signs of sepsis because early intervention saves lives.
Why was Elon Musk willing to spend $119M on electing Trump? Just look at Tesla stock today. He’s $15B richer because of the bump.
That’s a 12,600% return on investment.
This is all about the buying and selling of a presidency. Most elections are, this one is just nakedly so.
Jeff Bezos stopped the Washington Post from endorsing Harris on Oct 25. Amazon stock popped up today. Bezos’s net worth jumped over $7B because of the non-endorsement.
✅ vote plan executed:
I had to wear stretchy pants, Birkenstocks with socks, and a giant ice pack strapped to my back over the incision site, but my vote is cast! LFG @KamalaHarris @Tim_Walz
Finally framed my Robert Indiana print from the 1976 Democratic National Committee’s Voter Registration Program. Thanks to Jimmy Carter for commissioning this!
On Tuesday I’ll be casting my ballot for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz. (I’m sure this shocks exactly *none* of you).

A new episode of #Shrinking is now streaming.
Tonight was another magical night of music, this time with Stevie Wonder at Target Center in Minneapolis. It’s hard to find the words to express what it was like to hear all of these classics live for the first time.
.@maggierogers was magical tonight at @TargetCenterMN in Minneapolis. Among the many highlights, she did a beautiful piano cover of Prince’s I Would Die 4 U, right across the street from @FirstAvenue where Prince made the song famous in Purple Rain (video in last attachment)
HEY @X - STOP SENDING ME MEGYN KELLY NOTIFICATIONS. There’s a reason I don’t follow her. I don’t need you pushing your propaganda agenda in my notifications.
You know it’s early when your day started before @JillRileyRadio hit the air. Good morning, Jill!
ESPN put up this graphic for the best start for a QB with his 4th+ team. 4 of those top 5 wore a Vikings jersey at some point in their careers.
Fuck you @FIFAcom. Making people buy some bullshit tchotchkes in order to “earn” the right to attempt to buy tickets (had to double check that) is bullshit. And extortion, so basically the most FIFA thing ever. Did I say fuck you? I’m pretty sure I said fuck you. If not, fuck you
The new Andy Scott loon sculpture at the corner of Snelling and University in St Paul is majestic. It plays with light in fun ways. Standing 33’x90’, it really demands to be seen in such a busy public space
Every, and I mean every, ad on local tv stations in Wisconsin is a political ad. As a decided voter, it’s exhausting to see, and I only have to wade through it for one night. Are undecided voters really persuaded by any of this?
I hope @PIXIES make a ton of money off the use of this song
Careful who you assemble. Marvel Studios’ #Thunderbolts* is only in theaters May 2025.
