Good to be in Minneapolis.

Such a small, small man.

Beyond embarrassing

The savage layoffs and editorial undermining at the Washington Post — like the "DOGE" massacres and the takeover of Twitter — are civic sabotage, pure and simple.

When government and democratic institutions are undermined, those who want unaccountable power are strengthened.

America: where you can sell a random “wellness” drink at CVS, claim it “may” somehow “reinforce” your immune system, and literally call it “The Flu Shot.”

Oh yes he had something to do with it

Heading to Minneapolis for a week, and need a hotel for part of the trip. Pretty hard to find a hotel that is not supporting ICE. Ended up renting little house in my old neighborhood...

I know the feeling

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

It sure would be a good time to have a US Congress

A photo of the man murdered by ICE today, just before the shooting. He’s standing and holding a phone in his right hand and holding his empty left hand to the sky and looking behind him at a woman running away while an ICE agent closes in on him from the front. On the ground behind the man is a woman that the victim will soon try to help, leading several ICE agents to attack him and pin him to the ground, before shooting him several times.

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

Now are we great again?

Proud to be Minnesotan!

Can’t believe the Bo Nix news…

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

7th day at 60°+ this month, 25 of the last 36 days have been at 60°+ in Denver. This winter is stupid.

I am not convinced

RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!”

“A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

OK, I’m gonna spend some time looking for that 60 Minutes episode in Canada

I guess that is why I’ve never seen it
