Today is the 5 year anniversary to when I slowly started losing my mind during the pandemic and began dressing up as works of art.
As my Twitter account has long been abandoned, why not make a thread of my madness on BlueSky?

Non-Minnesotans, be clear on this: the *one and only* thing they do is racial profiling. The *only* thing. Ask anyone here! If you look nonwhite, Latino particularly, ICE will target you. It’s really as simple as that
Homan: "When they say 'stop racial profiling' -- that's just not occurring. ICE will briefly detain and question somebody based on reasonable suspicion. It has nothing to do with racial profiling."

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Ducks still make me think of @danawessel.bsky.social
Today I saw sleeping ducks and they were the cutest little things, just snoozing away in the sunshine on an ice-covered pond next to Long Meadow Lake.

Hug your kids or they'll grow up to be ICE agents.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Is Benihana the most romantic Valentine’s Day dinner location? No.
But hey, I am a supportive spouse. If he wants a glowing pink flaming onion volcano that sounds like a choo-choo train, he’s getting a glowing pink flaming onion volcano that sounds like a choo-choo train

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.

The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, but the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely.

Do you park around Snelling/University or Selby/Dale in the winter? Were you also not privy to this pilot winter parking restriction rule? Here’s a pro tip from someone who doesn’t pay enough attention (might save you a $60 ticket!): www.stpaul.gov/news/saint-p...

UPDATE: He was just released. This shows that just indiscriminately took someone because they were Latino. Their illegal tactics continue so we still need neighbors to patrol, observe, and support our immigrant community.
Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Using AI on Notepad is like … I don’t know, carpeting the room your water heater is in. You do not need to do it, and all you do is create more opportunities for something bad to happen.
In fact the whole point of notepad is that it is as barebones as fucking possible.
The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file.
The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.
AI is not a feature I ever desired in Notepad. I should look into some alternatives...

Minnesota still needs your attention
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.

For our ice breaker (ugh) at our division meeting today, we all had to break into small groups and say what our astrological sign is.
I really can’t imagine a more cringe worthy ice breaker.

This continues to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard. And that no one follows up and calls that out is maddening.
KNOTT: Why is it that there is so much tension in Minneapolis/St Paul right now?
SCOTT: Because paid agitators are actively trying to stop law enforcement action. Without that, you wouldn't even have any idea most of these arrests were taking place
