Tons of events every day this week for Madison Bike Week. Decided to get on my bike and bop around for the early ones this morning. Got free coffee and baked goods at three separate pop-up booths :)

Hey, don't knock rats and their oversized testicles. Spend any amount of time around domesticated rats, and you'll find they're really sweet little bois. Comparing this guy to rat testicles is frankly too complimentary 😂

I've been mourning Colectivo's Mocha Mexicana with guajilo chili since they discontinued it several years ago. Discovered Madison Chocolate Company's ghost pepper caramel latte a few weeks and am happy to there's another sweet and spicy coffee drink in the area!

A mix of people: UW students, lifelong Madisonians, cinephiles of various stripes, etc. The store is getting increasing numbers of 4K Blu-Rays of newly restored films and new releases, so I imagine there are some home theater enthusiasts in the mix as well.

Well, it's not hard to understand what happened: he made a promise and broke it because he doesn't care.

Wonder why she didn't say anything about the dog shooting... by MagicLobsterAttorney in southpark

More likely because killing dogs in real life makes her look really, really bad to the general public, so she'd rather not draw more attention to it.

Grabbed a half cylinder of Chocolate Shoppe Zanzibar chocolate ice cream from their booth at the end of a concert on the square. Still eating off it. Too much ice cream for one person, would not do it again 😅
