I know everyone’s jaded and exhausted by the continual parade of madness, but this is the president of US openly inciting racist violence against an entire community of immigrants. (w/ alt text)
The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing.
They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help — and leave the rest to us! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The #LNK Marathon scared the crap out of me with an email announcing a "new race route". Fortunately it's largely the same. No Beadle at the start; 17th instead of 16th out of Downtown; 17th instead of 10th into Downtown; trail instead of road at Holmes. www.lincolnmarathon.org/details/

Fun fact about the NCAA's college soccer rule 5.7 (video review): the rule does not require that a coach's challenge be even remotely realistic. Want a timeout? Just randomly pick a valid reason from 5.7.3 and request a review. Boom, there's your timeout.
5.7.3 Video review is permissible in the following specific situations:
5.7.3.1 Determining whether the entire ball passed over the goal line for a
																		  goal, which includes end of period timing issues;
5.7.3.2 Correcting timing errors;
5.7.3.3 Determining whether violent behavior occurred and identifying all
participants;
5.7.3.4 Correctly identifying players for disciplinary matters;
										  5.7.3.5 Determining if a direct free kick foul committed by the defending
team took place in the penalty area;
5.7.3.6 Determining if an offense punishable by a penalty kick has occurred;
5.7.3.7 Determining whether a straight red card (not a second caution)
should have been issued (the referee can upgrade the call to a straight red
card or downgrade it to a yellow card or a free kick);
5.7.3.8 Determining the proper punishment in cases of stopping a promising
attack or denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity (the referee can
examine the validity of the decision to call a foul or not and whether the
play meets the criteria for denial of an obvious goal scoring opportunity or
stopping a promising attack);
5.7.3.9 Determining whether a goal should have been disallowed for an
																   offside offense. This includes plays where the call on the field resulted in
an offside call or a goal being awarded;
Note: If the referee has blown the whistle for an offside offense before the ball enters
the goal, the play is then not reviewable.
5.7.3.10 Determining whether the attacking team committed an offense,
including offside, prior to or in the process of scoring a goal; and
Note: A ball going out of bounds in the build up to a goal is not reviewable.
5.7.3.11 Determining whether the attacking team committed an offense,
including offside, prior to the award of a penalty kick or a red card for
	Denial of an Obvious Goal Scoring Opportunity.
Note: A ball going out of bounds in the build up to the penalty kick or red card
for DOGSO is not reviewable.

When your government says it’s planning to open multiple prisons that will house up to 3,000 children, it’s time to demand a new government. There is no context in which this is legitimate or acceptable.

I see that Amazon no longer tells you which item you ordered in their confirmation emails. Instead, they describe the item in very generic terms -- so generic, that they're flat out wrong and therefore extremely confusing. For example, I ordered cabin and engine air filters for my vehicle. Amazon:

Who is asking for this? Coal is vastly more expensive than solar and wind (among others) (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of...); it's more harmful to human health; and it's more destructive to the environment. Who benefits from "rebuilding the U.S. coal industry", and how?
