She is a grown adult who qualified to be there and was medically cleared to participate. In light of those facts, who am I to even question her choice in the first place, let alone conclude I know better than her and her team?

God dammit, I'm tired enough in 2026 without needing to find a new tech ecosystem for 90% of my online life

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries.

I feel like a really unfun fun fact the general public should be aware of: when you reach out to ICE with media inquiries or for statements, they usually just respond with a list of mugshots of people they’ve arrested.

Probably just bog-standard government waste. I'm sure the DOGE boys are gonna get right on it.

Of these, I'm familiar with Hamburg...it's a tiny little place. It's also historically a railroad town which is, you know, ominous.

It's not Bay Area rap, but I'll allow it

"the abundance movement" sounds like a great alternative punchline to follow "what in the hell do you call an act like that?"
