I know it’s hard to watch all these beautiful things be carried away by time and see the wrong things growing in their place. But listen. Listen. We have to be the beautiful things now. It has to be us. It has to be us. Courage.

The Mpls Strib has what I consider a powerful video diary from 4 families affected by the Annunciation School shooting. Makes me angry that Lisa Demuth blocked the MN House vote on reducing gun violence

We’ve been watching Ambulance, the UK series about their service. One thing we noticed is that A LOT of people, at least pre-COVID, called for things that we would either treat at home or go to urgent care.

At the Twins game yesterday with one of my sons. Ryan Kreidler batting. Neither of us knew anything about him. I commented that he had a good average (from the scoreboard). He homers very next pitch 😀

Did I miss the memo? In the last week I’ve seen 4 young men who did not seem like nerds, wearing socks with their sandals. While I think it’s fine, I’ve been warned in the past by family members against doing the same.

Meet Crumb, Button, and Clover. A friend in the Bay Area found them behind a gas station. Unfortunately, she isn't able to keep them, so if she can't find someone to adopt them, they will be going to a shelter. Can you help me find them a home? They are in good health and very tame.

I’m happy for Karl Anthony Towns to finally get a title. Didn’t think this would be the year for it the way the Knicks were playing, but glad they pulled it out in the end.

The argument on here over the term ‘ultra-processed’ reminds me of when I wrote and reviewed product requirements as part of my job. Requirements need to be clear, concise, unambiguous, and verifiable, among other attributes.

I was dropping off at our local yard waste site. The guy with the truck next to mine asked if I had been duck hunting, presumably because of my seasonal flannel shirt. I said no. He said he’d just gotten back from Saskatchewan, from the Hutterite area. That they were very friendly.

Watching ‘Meru’. I love watching documentaries about mountain climbers. I am not afraid of heights, so the scenes don’t bother me. The main thing I like is the top climbers’ personalities. Driven to take risks, even to the point of death. Their partners are resigned to accept this.

Jessie Diggins, Olympic cross-country skiing gold medalist, from the Twin Cities: “I want to make sure you know who I’m racing for…”
Instagram post from Jessie Diggins, showing her carrying the American flag and smiling:

I want to make sure you know who I'm racing for when I get to the start line at the Olympics. I'm racing for an American people who stand for love, for acceptance, for compassion, honesty and respect for others. I do not stand for hate or violence or discrimination.
I get to decide who I'm racing for every single day, and how I want to live up to my values. For everyone out there caring for others, protecting their neighbors and meeting people with love - every single step is for you.
YOU are the ones who make me proud to carry the flag, and I hope I can bring you joy over these next few weeks.

Watching Dark Winds, season 2, ep 1. Set the day of the draft lottery, 1971. I sat through the lottery in our dorm room in ‘72. I had a high number but when they called number 1, I heard a scream from the room above. The guy came to the cafeteria drunk later

I had signed up as a candidate for a Norovirus vaccine study. Was well into qualifying when the interviewer asked if I had given blood lately. I give platelets every two weeks. She asked if I would be willing to give it up for the 2-yr study. Nope. Too few blood donors out there.

putting your brights on is actually a terrible idea when it's foggy and you should never have your brights on while driving in the city anyway signed, the other motorists you are blinding

Saw on Twitter people bragging about sticking it to the government by using incandescent bulbs, using hot water for clothes, etc. I thought, “Yeah, why save hundreds of dollars a year in energy and maintenance when I can resist regulation?” 🙄 (sarcasm)

Was visiting with an 89 yo friend in memory care today. While she doesn’t remember a lot of people, she remembers me. She said, “People will never forget you.” When I told my wife, she asked, “Is that good or bad?” 😀

Our church building went nut-free a couple of weeks ago and have had a lot of announcements but, of course, at our first potluck since announcing, a couple of people still brought dishes with nuts. Takes time to get everyone on board

A couple of years ago we were having electrical issues, lights dimming, fans slowing. Got our breaker box replaced, which was needed but problem didn’t go away. Electrician said one phase into the house periodically dropped in voltage. Electrician utility guy came out but couldn’t find a problem.

Why does every cop show, even internationally, use the cliche that all the good cops are divorced or in bad relationships. Yes, police divorce rate is somewhat higher than the average, but every cop I know has been happily married for many years. Think of some other dramatic tension devices

Does anyone have a fix for this happening? Posts and replies will repeat multiple times. Usually later replies show up first in the feed and will be repeated in part or in whole. Usually the original post shows up last. Makes for very disjointed reading

Does someone on this platform have a recommendation for a Bluesky iPad app? Graysky ends up showing the same posts over and over as connections reply. The Bluesky app is formatted for phones, which defeats the purpose of using a tablet.

nobel prize. right fucking now. im serious.
Certain types of sea urchins will pick up a shell with their tube feet and ‘wear’ it, with a behavior known as “covering reaction”, mainly because they shy away from light.

So aquarium enthusiasts 3D-printed tiny hats and they actually wear them.

My barber is going to spend Wed. night at a friend’s and fix Thanksgiving for their family. The friend has MS and recently had an adverse drug interaction, so is too weak to fix dinner. My barber will then go to her son’s house for family Thanksgiving. My new hero!

The asst director of the daycare in our church said the first time she had to take over as director temporarily she got really stressed. She has to do it again soon but isn’t stressed because she learned a lot from the first time. Jobs need to give people time to learn them.
