Biggest travel mistake I can ever remember making was a 6am flight during spring break season. One hour TSA line at 4 AM. Barely made it. Ran from security to the gate in my socks holding my shoes My family got through just fine because of PreCheck, but my PreCheck got zapped this winter.

A pertinent point here that the shooting in Minneapolis at the start of this month, which killed two, injured six, including three police officers, and drew three digits worth of cops downtown to stand around, was triggered by an eviction.

Wish I could remember forever the specific intonation my wife used when discussing the pairs of running shoes I keep in the entryway closet. "Wait, you log in an app every time you wear a pair of shoes?" - concerned, incredulous, confused

Guys do we believe polls in 2026 because I remember telling my buddy in 24 all about Ann Selzer and how I will literally never again use polls as a quantitative measure, and gosh I still stand by that statement

In school news outside of MPS, just saw that the exurb Elk River had classes canceled yesterday due to credible safety threat. I swear it's like we don't even care about education anymore. Gone from a "fundemnental pillar of society" to a "progressive nice-to-have", on par with shoveled sidewalks

All of you will know who I mean, I'm sure, but one of our local heroes this winter during ICE taught me "Say it with your whole chest". Some things you don't want others to hear, so you don't say them. Anything else, you are telling the world, so don't shirk. Your name, your words.

Why is it media only talks about AI dangers when elevated by the companies themselves (it's a super-intelligence! Self-replicating! Singularity! Job extinction!) and never by those outside the company (e.g. it sucks, it lies, it's wasteful, destroys critical thinking, abuse by capital)

What caused oil prices to stop skyrocketing in May was that the strikes on Saudi infrastructure stopped. They were extrapolating losing refinery and shipping capacity. Well now they're back

The thing I remember most about 2001 was that kind of language coming from all arounf. Can't tell you the number of kids I heard say things like "glass parking lot", and the attitude of adults was similarly bloodthirsty

Don't think I'm making to bold of a prediction to say that the Elizabeth Holmes movie is going to do insanely well this October. There are like 5 documentaries in our culture and this is going to be one in the pantheon for a long time.
