My mother is from Minnesota. In 1988 she preferred Bush but voted for Dukakis knowing he was going to lose. She wanted to help bump up Dukasis’ numbers so he wouldn’t feel too bad.

The framing on this issue is all wrong. This is NOT just about Gen-X-specific "nostalgia" for how Pizza Hut used to look. It's bigger. The old decor was *human*. Warm. Inviting. People like salad bars, too, not just because "nostalgia". These are things *people like*, not just specific cohorts who want specific looks that emulate their childhood. Everything today is sterile and hostile in color and form. McDonalds looks literally like a prison. Nearly every chain has built in Brutalist concrete, decorating in Millennial Mortuary Gray. People--not just Gen X--are tired of human-hostile architecture. -J

Here’s something that gets lost in the Mayor’s race. The conversation is often framed as if crime is solved because we’re down from 2023’s generational spike in violence. But homicides are still way up from the 2010s. We had below 200 murders for a decade—88 in 2012!

I will forever adore Max Scherzer for the absolute psychopath he is. Thank god he picked baseball instead of murder.

Today doesn’t officially begin until you watch the “Leprechaun in Mobile, Alabama” video
