Chotiner: Tell me what you found interesting about these vampires.
Documentarian: Well, it's just -- the group dynamics, I guess.
Chotiner: I can see that. I can see finding Nandor, Laszlo and Nadia entertaining.
Documentarian: Exactly.
Chotiner: So. How many people did you watch them murder?

1. I don’t think a leaf blower is an effective tool for clearing one’s driveway of snow.
2. Even if it was, 10:30p is not the time to be doing that!

I resolved to read more mindfully this year instead of eating books like comfort food. Having just finished my sixth book of the year, it’s pretty safe to say I’ve failed spectacularly.

Also: The Minnesota Historical Society has this flag but *doesn’t keep it on display,* because it’s, you know, a confederate flag and that’s gross.
So deeply Minnesotan. “We humiliated our opponent but the real prize is that we refuse to display the trophy. They know we have it.”

A good time to remind everyone of the Minnesota First. One of the earliest state militias to volunteer to fight in the Civil War—three years after joining the Union! Provided one of the essential turning points at Gettysburg. Took the flag of the Virginia regiment they captured AND STILL HAVE IT.

President Trump said that María Corina Machado, Venezuela’s opposition leader and a Nobel Peace Prize winner, presented her medal to him.

I’m reading When the Moon Hits Your Eye by @scalzi.com and there’s a bit about cheese shops in Madison. One is named Fromagery—I have to wonder if Fromagination said he couldn’t use their name or if it’s just coincidence.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Minneapolis Public Schools canceled classes district-wide for the remainder of the week, citing “safety concerns,” following the murder committed by an ICE agent. The move came after officials at Roosevelt High School said armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal.

I don’t understand people who get mad about babies crying on planes. Air travel is awful. If I was tiny and lacked self control and communication skills, I’d be screaming too. These children are only saying what we’re all thinking.
