Incidentally I am fading away from this site. I am finding it lacks any of the fun of the good ol' days of Twitter. Maybe I am just following the wrong people. Maybe the people I enjoyed posting over there don't post here. Maybe a little of both.

Listening to Fatboy Slim - Better Living Through Chemistry which is somehow 30 years old. Up after that is another 30 year old album, Dub Narcotic Sound System's Boot Party. Two of my favs in early college.

#OnThisDay Sept 16 1885: Macalester College opens in St. Paul. It began as Baldwin College, a prep school at the former Winslow House hotel in Minneapolis, donated by magnate Charles Macalester upon his death in 1873. After more funding, it was renamed Macalester and moved to the wilds of Summit Ave

the muddy and barren wasteland of St Paul's Summit Avenue in the 1890s.

My opinion about the state fair record breaking is that school starts next week for a lot of districts and it will drop off next week.

Sucks that the Univ of Minnesota libraries are closed to the public. If the past several years have taught us anything, it’s that knowledge is necessary to fighting stupid bad fascists. So here’s a helpful doc on how to assist good U people who want knowledge freed: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The Negative Option: In the 1980s and 1990s, Columbia House could do no wrong—it was a great way to get 12 CDs for a penny. But its business model kind of set the stage for a lot of bad e-commerce. tedium.co/2026/08/24/c...
