Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, and Beyonce are three of the most globally popular artists rn. We are so lucky they are so smart and work so hard to use their art to teach cultural history lessons through music, dance, and visually magnificent sets when they could just stand there in jorts and lip sync.

The aurora last night here in Beaver, Alaska was extremely bright and active. Here is a video showing the real-time motion and the brightness of the aurora reflecting off the snow and turning it a bright green color.

My favorite Super Bowl memory is still when Elon Musk was at the 2023 game in Arizona and panicked about his Eagles tweet getting less engagement than Joe Biden's. He then flew immediately to Twitter's San Francisco office to start emergency meetings to fix the site's algorithm.

I've still never tried Jack-In-The-Box, because my mom forbid it after four kids died of E. coli in 1993 and now mothers are rubbing raw milk directly into their babies' measles.

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it:
Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE
