No seafood (or snails) for me. And while I don’t like, and would prefer not to eat eggs, I will.

Everything else is good. Some of my fav foods are on this chart.
7 for me how about y’all ?

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Never used Chat GPT or any AI LLM. I’ve never even seen the interface or app, or however it’s accessed. I’ve never had any need for it, and I certainly don’t miss it.
People seem to describe it as useful for things I already do well enough.
It's actually remarkably easy to not ever use ChatGPT.

“All the news that’s fit to print”
Note: An earlier version of this post included a quote from an NFL player about Bad Bunny that incorrectly implied Puerto Rico was not part of the United States. Bad Bunny is an American citizen. We deleted the earlier post.

Once upon a time a news agency like the Associated Press would not print this as a "family says" story. They would confirm it and state it as a fact.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Police killed 1200+ people in 2025. The ICE & DHS violence is horrific, it should be documented & prosecuted, ICE should be abolished. It’s also crucial to remember that police violence is not rare or unique to ICE. Police kill people every day

Abolish ALL police

The police here are protecting ICE.

Their backs are to ICE not their constituents.
At 26th and Nicolett in Minneapolis this morning—

Feds have just shot another person in the streets. Furious community members are gathering. State police and conservation cops here in front of ~50 federal agents.

Do they call it the Vonnegut mushroom?

Or maybe, “Lonesome No More”?
With most psychedelic drugs, you never know what you're going to get. But this mysterious mushroom from China - without fail - causes users to hallucinate tiny people: crawling up walls, popping out from under furniture and marching under doors. www.bbc.com/future/artic...
'They saw them on their dishes when eating': The mushroom making people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans
Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions.

This is the Secretary of Treasury, discussing national security and international relations.
WELKER: Is Greenland or NATO more vital to natl security?

BESSENT: That's obviously a false choice

W: Not to European leaders

B: They will come around & understand they need to be under the US security umbrella. What would happen in Ukraine if the US pulled support? The whole thing would collapse

Let me say one other thing here, to quote @jamellebouie.net today: if Trump sends out his goons to try to stop elections, you know what you do?

YOU GO VOTE.
Let me just say it again: he can’t cancel the midterms. Elections are administered by states.

He can’t do it. Stop telling people he can do it.

Telling people their votes don’t matter based on absolutely false fantasizing by the demented sociopath is doing the work of voter suppression for him.

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.

Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.
