(He/Him) Norwegian born, New York raised, Milwaukee livin. Life isn’t meant to be taken seriously. Bucks in six.
Accidentally getting a little too high and going to the Oriental Theatre only to wind up standing in the lobby admiring everything about the place is all part of the Milwaukee experience
Ask and ye shall receive @ifiwasrichard @YungGiamatti Pic 1: wood rose, swamp milk weed (they’re wee babies atm), creeping thyme (not native but great for pollinators) Pic 2 & 3: Hard to see but cardinal flower, Dutchman’s breeches Pic 4: climbing prairie rose, virgin’s bower
Since my landlord said I’ve done a great job gardening and doesn’t care what I do I’ve been slowly planting a bunch of native plants. My end goal is to turn my backyard into a a bird, bee, and butterfly sanctuary.
Decided to wing it and bake a layered, breaded, Velveeta Mac n cheese casserole with diced, fire roasted garlic tomatoes, a random mixture of BBQ sauce ingredients and bourbon, diced green chiles, hand shredded chicken, tater tots, and shredded hashbrowns. I hope it works lol
Love that in Band of Brothers they’re like “you’re gonna have to take Neunen strategically” and in The Pacific they’re like “we’re sending you guys into an area the Japanese call ‘The Valley Of Killing Everyone’”
What are the chances that if I throw one of these over the side of the Hoan bridge @YungGiamatti finds it?
i’ll send an s.o.s. to the world

Me, someone who’s never been able to enjoy baseball like others do (and I’ve really tried), seeing all my fellow Milwaukeeans be so happy and absolutely over the moon with how well the Brewers are playing.
Hakeem Jeffries has reportedly told allies that if Zohran Mamdani wins, he can't become Speaker of the House. Leaders like Jeffries see this fight as existential for their control of the party: kenklippenstein.com/p/party-contro…

I hate that heat indexes over 100 are becoming more common in Milwaukee
Southwesterly winds will bring extreme heat and high humidity all the way to the Lake Michigan shoreline areas on Wednesday. Expect weaker winds and more cloud cover on Thursday, but heat lingers. Thunderstorms will develop Thursday afternoon/evening. #swiwx #wiwx
Would not recommend being hungover as shit when the air show is in Milwaukee. 0/10.
Tell me why the groom’s mom asked me to play this while us groomsmen get ready lol
I’m in Sheboygan for a wedding and I’m still trying to figure out why it’s called the Malibu of the Midwest
I love going to the local meetings in Milwaukee. Watching older NIMBY white folks foaming at the mouth over protected bike lanes being installed in their neighborhood is hilarious
You should get involved with local politics because taking care of your community is important but mostly because there is a lot of drama and tea that you can only understand if ur in 4 different organizing chats
take your pick
What were the biggest snubs from this year’s #EMMY nominations?
new bit: calling my wife “the ol’ balloon”instead of “the ol’ ball and chain” because she lifts me up instead of weighing me down
