iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I’m not a sports person at all, but I love watching you guys love your teams. From my vantage point, Lynx fans are the purest, kindest, most loyal sports fans there are. I’m so sorry guys! But also, how amazing to care enough to be heartbroken?

Many people who were critical of MPD cost overruns were denounced as alarmist or anti-police. Now MPD has admitted to the abuse of overtime hours. I am grateful current leadership is cracking down but deeply frustrated by this betrayal of the public trust and the time it took to get answers.

This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!

This weekend I had the honor of speaking at the Stonewall Sports 10th anniversary gala. I love riding my bike past Northeast Park & seeing it filled with Stonewall’s kickball league. Our LGBTQIA+ community living authentically and experiencing joy in our parks is the perfect antithesis to fascism.

Anti-trans ads are popping up everywhere and it's important that we remind people that these attacks are happening because opponents of equality don't have answers to the issues facing most Americans - they are trying to move votes through fear and misinformation instead. Don't take the bait.

Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Watching ICE Air at MSP
How many are they taking away?
Nick Benson, MN50501, September 22, 2026

Background

Self-employed
* Smart flight alert app for airplane nerds
* Got interested in aviation angle of ICE’s detention apparatus in early 2025
* Got serious about ICE in October 2025
* The most important work I’ll ever do

What is ICE Air?

*ICE Air is a conglomerate of charter airlines that fly detainees between local prisons, detention centers, and out of the country
* “Shuffle” flights are domestic
* Detainees are shackled before/during/after
* Denver Air Connection / Key Lime, Global Crossing, Eastern Air Express
* Akin to FedEx or Amazon, hub/spoke
* ~65,000 currently in ICE detention, ~70% don’t have a criminal conviction

ICE Air at MSP

* Shuffle flights, taking detainees to detention centers via Alexandria, LA and El Paso, TX

* 2-3 flights per day during Metro Surge; now 2-3 per week

* ICE vehicles carry detainees to/from the airport from Whipple

* Loaded at Signature Aviation, the private jet terminal

* Started counting in November
