I don’t regret to inform you that in between discussing AI sales forecasting models, the sales guys at my hotel bar are talking about how brave the people in Minneapolis are.

I wanted to just share one story about a kid who spent a lot of time in the neighborhood where Renee Nicole Good died today. Prince got married at Park United Methodist just down the street from 34th & Plymouth; he went to high school at Central High a few blocks in the other direction over on 35th.

The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.

My mum is knocking it out of the park as a grandmother in many ways, but one of them is that she has wildcrafted two nice strollers from the curb just in her regular travels, not even looking for them on garbage day or w/e

That is wiiiiild! I fortunately caught it really early by being obsessive about heart stuff and wearing a (newly approved in Canada at the time) continuous BP monitor, so labetalol was all it took to bring it down. But still scary!

I said for years that the only way to permanently reduce migration to the United States was to destroy the vision that the world had of this country as the land of opportunity.

That wasn't a goddam suggestion!

If our little guy ends up somewhere on the spectrum, I’m sure it will be all the Tylenol I took during my pregnancy, and not the fact that both of his parents have ham radio licenses πŸ€ͺ
