Tim Walz is going on tour.

Tim Walz to launch national tour of town halls in Republican House districts

Tim Walz is headed back out on the road – this time, for a tour of House districts represented by Republicans who have stopped holding in-person town halls amid the raucous receptions some of their colleagues have gotten across the country.

Sparky is otherkin.

Sparky might be one of those people who identify as a cat.  Everybody has heard those stories about middle school kids who demand litter boxes in the restrooms.  If that ever happened, then the students were probably just screwing around.  Sparky may be trolling, but he really seems to like cat toys.

I might be one of those people who think that dogs are people.  The logic works like this:  Autistic people are people, dogs are autistic, therefore, dogs are people.  That logic seems a little shaky, but Sparky says it checks out.  On the other hand, Sparky can’t figure out how blankets work.

TV Show: Mythic Quest 8/10.

Mythic Quest is an offbeat office comedy set at a video game development company.  The characters are maximum diversity, with old and young, White, Black and Asian, gay and straight.  It works because all of the characters have strengths and weaknesses.  The show doesn’t avoid diversity topics, but when they come up, both sides are represented, but it all seems a bit silly.
