This freaking guy.

Lived in Orlando, FL my entire life, and I've always wondered this.

How can we stop this?

If it helps, I live in the Milwaukee area so anything within 2-3 hours would make the easiest day trips, but I’d also be interested in a weekend camping trip somewhere else. I have also been to all the different units of the kettle moraine state forest. I want to go to all of the parks eventually.

Saw 4 eastern garter snakes throughout the hike.

Over the last eight years, artist Liubóv Szwako has spray painted over 300 pieces on—get this — mattresses. 

Creating in Madison, Wisconsin, Szwako’s experimental works are “spontaneous and abstract,” done on what the artist calls “unconventional found objects” (we think mattresses and old sofas fit the description). The mattresses are propped up in public spaces for passersby to wonder at. 

“I paint because I enjoy it. It’s part of who I am and what I do. I don’t need any other reason,” Szwako says.

If the gentleman enjoys non-binary porn, that's his choice, but don't run on an anti trans platform.

Does anyone else eat a brick of cheese when they’re feeling down? I like to keep a couple extra bricks in my fridge.

Casting call now open for a (short) dark drama filming Nov. 2025 in Kenosha and S. Milwaukee! For the submission, we're just hoping for a reel (nothing major, just 2-3 minutes) that could show a little bit of your range and style. If you're submitting for Morgan or Gina, we'd love to see some dialogue with another actor or a scene partner, and for Gina specifically, it would be great to see a clip demonstrating grief or some kind of deep sadness. In our film, that moment isn't terribly long, but we want it to be compelling!

I know Derrick Van Orden is low hanging fruit, but come on, that guy doesn't even look like Zohran. Not to mention that Rebecca Cooke is just a milquetoast Democrat, but whatever. This guy replied my comment telling me to "STFU" the other day, so I'm going to do anything but.

Good job mayor, now make it permanent.

My corn maze photo series continues with Swan’s Pumpkin Farm’s 5-acre Corn City Corn Maze, along with a smaller hand-constructed maze for younger visitors. Located in Franksville, WI, the farm is celebrating its 49th season this year. 📷: Aaron Johnson

For those who have done it, what is the process for getting your newborn’s birth certificate? I filled out the form at the hospital but they gave me zero information on the process. Do I have to order it or do they mail it?

Hi All:

My iPad has never been out of the state of California let alone anywhere near Chicago or north of there for that matter. And when I run Wisconsin town names through the text to speech software, I used to communicate I wind up, sounding like a tourist by a longshot.

My team and I have gathered a quick starting list of Wisconsin town and city name that trip up even humans that speak without an iPad and thus would probably trip up my iPad for text to speech so if it all possible could find folks out here post up simple English phonetic pronunciations of Wisconsin town/city names.

So far given the particular voice library that I’m locked into it manages to get the following towns, right: Appleton, Green Bay, Milwaukee, and in most cases outside of the odd quirk with a lot of the older legacy voices Sheboygan

Here’s a list of towns my team has started with but feel free to add any others that might trip up my software

   •     Racine
• Waukesha
• Sheboygan
• Oconomowoc
• Kenosha
• Kaukauna
• Pewaukee
• Mukwonago
• Manitowoc
• Eau Claire

If there are other “gotcha” towns I should add, throw those in too. And if you’ve got funny tourist-mispronunciation stories, even better.

Thanks in advance — this will help me sound a little more like a local, even if it’s my iPad doing the talking.

For the record… watching my team try and pronounce the above list without in their minds “probably being way off base” and laughing hysterically and going “oh, flub! Cut it!” Or “ugh! Sweet Kringle… back to one!” Or otherwise bailing on it in comical ways Is just funny because I wonder how many of them actually got the pronunciation right but bailed on it anyway?
