My only take away about this Super Bowl was the NFL stood up to the despotism going on and that's something I never thought would happen. Now will the Seahawks go to the White House?

Catherine O’Hara… she was great. I always liked her attitude. I hadn’t seen this in years and a fan shared it with me. May her memory be a blessing.

This is a perfect example of "I saw a thing that I could do and I started doing it"
ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.
Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests
Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

You probably woke up this morning and thought "did I miss my chance to buy dash cams for folks in Minneapolis because we live in actual hell?" And the answer is no, no you did not.
Hey remember back when Russian dash cam videos were everywhere and it was a big sign that the state had basically collapsed and people had to record everything to be safe? Yeah, well guess what that's us now. Buy dash cams for MPLS. www.amazon.com/registries/g...

Very much worth 3 min of your day.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

LOL. Who needs whistles for their community groups, their PTAs, those Magic: The Gathering nights at the game store, their church organizations, outreach programs, whatever. The roving band of whistle goblins will get you whistles, for free, 100-1000. Drop a line: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Mr. Colonus hesperus jumper hanging out in my "Cup n Paper" cup.

He was under the kitchen table, came out to see what was going on when I was getting ready to trim Kiff. I advised him the cup was the much safer option.

He liked the cup, so I just put it on its side in the windowsill. #inverts

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.
