I wrote to my Republican congressman in SE Minnesota and expressed several concerns, including the DOGE clowns accessing our personal data. I'm happy to report that I got a voicemail back from the man himself inviting me to a town hall. Call and write your reps - it works!

OK I'm a Minnesotan who goes to Atlanta for work often. Is it also uncool to refer to it as "the ATL"?

I went with Hers meds and have lost 15 lbs over 5 months. I feel so good & am grateful for that option. I understand the use is off-label however.

I see a Mayo GP who (correctly) wouldn't give Ozempic as my BMI is too low. But as a menopausal woman whose metabolism has slowed way down I kept gaining weight, clothes wouldn't fit & and working out & eating right was not enough.

He also didn't get the Nike ad with the female athletes and I let that just be ok too. It felt good.

My boyfriend said he didn't really get the show. Ordinarily I would jump in right away & try to explain but I just shrugged my shoulders rather than taking that on. He didn't need to "get it". I didn't need to either, but I think I sorta did and it was magnificent.
