Holiday season is a special time of year. Old myths are nice enough, or there’s always Krampus… #Solstice brings time for #Reflection. Family memories go back to the best of times, beyond the worst of times as may happen. Here’s my seven-year-old ornament selection from Frank’s Nursery and Crafts.

Snowed 5" yesterday in Minneapolis. Maybe @minneapolismn.gov could notice and call a #SmowEmergency to get the streets plowed. I get 24 hours to shovel my property, yet the City is stalling that whole time???

Minneapolitans no longer dress to leave home? Waiting in a dental clinic lobby most are wearing sweats, not clothing, one guy has only house slippers on feet. It’s December with snow, ice, and cold. This ain’t NYC, but still… #Minnesota #Style

Menards has a #BlackFriday deal in honor of #Atwood & #HandmaidsTale. Whoda thunk any BigBox store would sell Red Cloaks to the #Woke demographic?

This is why I don’t use #Cloudflare, a centralized gatekeeper is a good CDN strategy, but a massive choke point. Small & mid-sized projects on robust platforms suffer the dependency on massive sites.
Let the Internet be the Internet—find failures, protect protocols, but not with magic solutions.

This entire article points out that there is no plan. His own Treasury Secretary says he doesn’t know anything about it. So why does media keep running these kind of headlines? He keeps making these Truth Social posts and media keeps running stories as if it is something real.

For years #TimWalz has stalled legal #cannabis in Minnesota, now #KeithEllison is calling for a federal ban on #hemp despite it's legality in Minnesota. They could be dealing with $1/2 Billion+ fraud in state programs…instead desperate for outstate MAGA sheriff support to campaign. Lost my #Vote!

There will be lots of pain and suffering and harm on the way to *figuring out* that patriarchy cannot actually work in a modern society, but an UNequal society is a feature, not a bug, to those voting the fascists back into power.
But it's MALadaptive for the 21st Century. Still.
