Up since 2am - knee has decided to become a some kind of horrible pain inflicting thing. I look at clock, 6:50! The missus will be late! I need to hubble run down the stairs and wake her up! Knee screaming, I get to the bed room, “get up, you’ll be late!” “I go to work at 8.” Oops.

Could just be one. In truth, that bus stop has seen some shit. One panel, not shown, has been completely smashed. There’s also a window busted out to the back. That is interesting because the pan handlers use it for various reasons.

My 5th grade teacher had a raccoon named “Pepper.” Fascinating critter, but he said that if they get cranky they can bite several times before you would know it. Completely worth it.

Heart is in the right place. Saying “bad data centers“ is incredibly short sighted and the DSA should really know better. No, laws need to be in place to prevent anything with a horrible footprint. actionnetwork.org/petitions/no...

No Data Centers in Minneapolis!

We need to prevent data centers from exploiting and harming the people of Minneapolis! Data centers pollute water, waste electricity, burn massive amounts of fossil fuel, and produce harmful, droning ...

The name of the school is North Woods School. Its principle is Kelly Engman. It is a public school in St. Louis County School District (ISD 2142). North Woods “banned more books from its library than every other public school in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and North and South Dakota — combined.”

startribune.com

All 80 books banned in Minnesota last year came from one school

Parents objected, a new library assistant was fired and books that included ‘Charlotte’s Web’ and a kids’ cookbook were gone from a public school near Lake Vermilion.

Everyone, please thank President Trump for sponsoring the fundraiser for @ilhanmn.bsky.social ! Cracking open the wallet as we speak. Hey, if Trump says donate to Representative Omar, I’m going to donate. Might even call Nagel to relay the thanks.

My first real-ish manager once said, "This industry (sw / hw dev) is incestuous, I'm sure we will meet again." I haven't seen him since. In MPLS, if you haven't worked for HPE, Target, Fells Wargo, Infor, or JAMF - you will. Elliot was right.

Damn cat, right? I was calling my buddy Beelzebub for my plus one feline, when I noticed she kept scratching at a door. Turns out her brother was trapped on the other side for a chunk of the night. Ok, kitty, you are awesome.

While filling up a toddler sized (it’s a metric measurement) hole the dog dug, I saw my last Monarch of the year.

An orange and black somewhat blur of a Monarch with (I think) green hop vines in the background supported by a greying trellis.

“Do not judge a society by the goodness of its leaders, but by how well it protects the powerless when its leaders are wicked. For a system that requires good people to remain good is not just; it is merely fortunate.”

Rogan is a random is a random idea generator. He could be replaced with ai. That said, this brings up a point: is it the meat or the message? If Jesus is important because of his fun magic tricks? Then no. If Jesus is important because of the things he said? Perhaps.

I‘m going to use this time for my own political message: it’s time to eliminate the statute of limitations on sexual assault. Contact your representatives, please. There have been attacks so vicious they have been repressed well past 20 years. rainn.org/take-action/... We need your help.

Justice Should Not Expire (Statutes of Limitations)

In too many states, survivors of sexual violence can't seek justice because of the statute of limitations. Together, we can change that.

The time has come. Boutique milk. “Yes, this particular pull came from Big Ella near Brainerd. It’s her 3rd year, and already you can detect the mature whole cream.” “The color is reminiscent of a single white cloud in a blue July sky. Probably a Thursday.”

Those 85% who don’t report? Completely understandable and brave, too. It’s not your fault. If someone’s house is broken into, no one really says “Yeah, Dave had some nice stuff, he was asking for it.” Dave might have been drunk and left the door unlocked, that doesn‘t mean he wanted it stolen.

First, this woman is a damn brave hero. She is one of the 15% who report. She is about to be slandered, her history called into question. Meanwhile that piece of shit “I toss ball real good” is going... You know. It’s ugly for the accuser. The accused just gets a little tarnished.

Trigger warning: SA Society gets rape so very wrong. I just read with utter disgust a story about the LSU rape. Cory Siemaszko quotes the survivor, “(I) developed pretty severe anxiety.” What’s a little worry, eh? No - SA and rape impacts friends and families, too. The crime has reach.

Facinating. I‘ve been reading some local documents from the mid 90’s and stumbled across it. I was in the middle of it and I was completely clueless to its existence - and 100 of my local social group (my wife) said she never heard of it. Wild. Thanks for the reply.
