Ford Escape
Still from the movie "The Fugitive" in which Harrison Ford's character, Richard Kimball, leaps from a sewer pipe into a river. A snowy landscape looms in the distance. (This was probably Ford's stunt double.)

I am SO absent-minded that I have near iron-clad landing places for keys, wallet and phone, whether I'm home or away "This thing lives here - ALWAYS" When something isn't "where it lives" I get pretty panicky

I did not know Porch Goose was a thing! No matter the time of year, we gotcha covered:
Two autumn-dressed porch geese. One wears a white costume with black smiling pumpkins patches, a conical black witch's cap and carries a black "Trick or Treat" bag. The other goose is oddly dressed as a brown and orange turkey and sports a brown pork pie style hat. Two porch geese stand with wings outstretched. One wears a red-and-white top with a smiling snowman on the front and a Santa-style Capt with small, brown antlers. The other goose sports a navy blue and white traditional Scandanavian embroidered sweater and a jaunty navy and light blue winter cap, complete with a top and two side poms.

Sold lots of #Vikings merch at the gift shop today, including one of these fetching ensembles
A three foot tall metal "Porch Goose" figurine wears a Vikings jersey complete with the mascot logo and a purple helmet while holding a football in its left wing. The goose looks very earnest and stands on enormous yellow, webbed feet.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I bet you, dollars to donuts, there's something hinky with the warrant (if there is one. I wonder whether DOJ used its bullshit claims of bias to get a warrant from a judge outside the District of Minnesota. Or maybe they got the ONE judge we know would rubber stamp it.

Conservatives have been screaming bloody murder that Jack Smith lawfully collected call data on Trump allies in 2023 and 2024. But executing a search warrant on Omar’s house a few weeks before the election is totally cool.

A guy told me Ukrainian drones keep blowing up his data centers so I asked how many GPUs he has left and he said he just buys new ones from a guy in Kyrgyzstan afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding smuggled Nvidia chips to Ukrainian drones and then Sergey Lavrov started crying.

October 13, 2026 and such conference is adjourned. The Court finds that (1) the present motion
is not moot, (2) there is standing to proceed, and (3) the moving Plaintiffs have demonstrated that they are likely to succeed on the merits, will suffer irreparable harm in the absence of an injunction, the balance of the equities tips in their favor, and an injunction serves the public interest. A full opinion shall follow shortly. Therefore, the Court GRANTS the moving Plaintiffs' motion, and IT IS HEREBY:

ORDERED that Defendants are enjoined from using, disbursing, or transferring funds appropriated to the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") to develop, create, disseminate, place, distribute, publish, or air the challenged advertisements; and it is further
ORDERED that Defendants shall cancel or cause to be cancelled any slot, placement, reservation, or arrangement for the airing or dissemination of the challenged advertisements,
including those placements for the evening of October 11, 2026;
ORDERED that Defendants shall not enter into, renew, or expand any agreement authorizing the development, creation, dissemination, placement, or airing of the challenged
advertisements; and it is furtherORDERED that the foregoing instructions bind Defendants' officers, agents, employees, contractors, and anyone acting in concert with them. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(d)(2).
ORDERED that Defendants shall immediately provide a copy of this order to LMD,
under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(d)(2)(C), and that LMD, as a contractor that is in active concert and participation with Defendants, is enjoined from continuing to run or place the
challenged advertisements; and it is further
ORDERED that Defendants will file a status report within 24 hours of the entry of this temporary restraining order and Section 705 stay, confirming compliance with this Order; and it
is further
ORDERED that this Order shall remain in effect until 14 days from today, subject to an extension of this Court; and it is further
ORDERED that, in the Court's discretion, Plaintiffs shall not be required to post a bond.Case 1:26-cv-08882-JLR Document 41 Filed 10/11/26 Page 4 of 4
This Order shall be effective as of 6:45 p.m. on October 11, 2026 and the Clerk of Court

And, with less poverty than many other counties outside the metro, those insureds may have been better educated and more attentive to their healthcare And if most of that care was in network (ex: Essentia), I could see MA usage of all the "extra" bennies being higher than originally modeled

Lisa @footenotes.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
Having slept on it, I'm wondering if the actuarial disaster is driven by healthcare availability in CWC For an out-state county, CWC has strong health and dental infrastructure So MA patients may have used extra coverage (like dental) too much for the plans to make any money

I know a man in out-state MN who had MA He urgently needed colon cancer surgery and the nearest surgeon was out of network Patient was not aware of out of network status and was later slapped with a bill of over $10k He went into credit card debt to try to pay it

Lisa @footenotes.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
In spite of my scorn, I'm sensitive that MA was a cheaper alternative for those who couldn't afford trad Medicare Plan B Sadly, they offered it by denying out-of-network care that is often the only alternative
