Flying around downtown Minneapolis and the Vikings stadium for the last two hours is a small plane trailing a banner: “Rick Scott. Hate socialism? Us too! Move to FL” #republican-wtf

#NoKings Minneapolis. I couldn’t get high ground for a photo, but it was many thousands of people who love America packed into a dozen city blocks. Great atmosphere, great speeches, great organization.

I get why Walz encouraged cancellation of the protests in Minnesota. But I was proud to join about 1000 neighbors in Northfield, MN (pop. 15000 when the students are gone for the summer). Some Trump trucks drove by and revved, but we mostly ignored them. (A few birds were flipped...)

I'm looking for interesting gen-AI applications. I'm interested in hilarious failures and mind-blowing successes (if any) and anything between. Just trying to get my head around the state of things, and the hype is making it really hard to separate real stuff from bullshit.

Big thanks to my friend @naomikritzer.bsky.social. Every election season, you help keep me from freaking out (well, mostly anyway). Hang in there, everyone.
