I only worked 3 days this week but I’m basically exhausted so I’m pretty happy it’s Friday.
Any big weekend plans?

Sprots!
Have you guys heard about #swedengate? Someone tweeted about how once at their Swedish friends’ house they didn’t feed them dinner and it turned into a THING.
Do Swedish People Feed Their Guests?
After a Reddit post brought an unusual Swedish dining custom to light, Nordic people are trying to explain why they won’t share the pickled herring.
Gentle reminder: National Parks will fuck you up, especially if you are dumb.

Have a great day. Don’t pet the bison.

At first I thought it was good he was going to jail, but it seems he basically got off.
Avenatti was convicted in February of one count of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. He faced as much as 20 years on the wire fraud charge and a mandatory two-year sentence for aggravated identity theft.
So it seems he got 2 of 20, wtf.
Remember when Avenatti was taken seriously as a contender for the 2020 Democratic Presidential nomination? Why not, de Blasio ran for about three weeks.

By the way, how does Chris Cuomo defender-in-chief, “who knew that my boss Jeff Zucker had been sleeping with his underling for the past 20 years?” Chris Cillizza still have a job?
Today is truly a sad day:

It was always a memory of traveling in the US for me.
Loved the orange sherbert (unlike a few of the characters in Mad Men.) And always ordered the clam strips.
Any large herbivore can be a mean fucker. A moose might not have bit my sister, but I’ve heard enough farmers and hunters tell stories about how they headbutted/smashed in a pickup truck’s engine compartment and walked away (with probably a massive headache) that I do not ever want to encounter one during rutting (mating) season on a country road.
Hippos and Rhinos are also herbivores, but you do not ever ever ever want to fuck with them because they are extremely mean and vicious.
But people think that certain animals are Diznee character “cute” and totally ignorant of what they really are.
People need to get out of the cities a little bit.
Or…just never, ever, leave the fucking house.
I love those times when two completely opposite things can both be equally true.
I dig it
They will come for you. There is nowhere to hide.
I’ve had a few moose encounters in Alaska, they are huge and terrifying. If they have a brain worm, they are deadly!

2 shot and killed at funeral for gun violence victims.
A faction of this country doesn’t give a fuck.
I feel sick to my stomach this morning. 43% turnout for the provincial election yesterday and vote splitting ftw.
I fucking hate people.
What, pray tell, is a “Progressive Conservative”? To be a progressive is to progress, to move forward. To be a conservative is to conserve, to maintain.
Hiding your cabinet mandate letters from the public – by spending millions of tax dollars fighting their release all the way to the supreme court – which obviously say, “cut as much as possible from public health, long term health care, and schools to give it all to the for profit private sector” is “progressive conservative.”
MSM in Canada doesn’t report any of the shit the Cons do. People find out by showing up for bloodwork which has been free their entire lives and surprise! that’ll be $86.
I have really enjoyed the Sweden discussion. I would love to live in some of those Nordic countries — they are among the happiest and have the most equality in the world — but also some of their cultural things are deeply fucking weird. I have a branch of my family from Norway and man, oh man, they are just odd, which I thought was just them until I learned more about those countries.
If you click on the “death rate” column you will notice something that might seem interesting…
