US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

My aunt and uncle went without power for 2.5 months after Maria. My grandfather who lives in San Juan went even longer. The power lines were the most impactful image of many tonight.

I know next to nothing about figure skating, and even let out an involuntary "holy shit" out loud earlier today when I saw it live.
Ilia Malinin became the first person in 50 years to legally land a backflip at the Winter Olympics, doing it in the figure skating team event.

Still 34° here. Thanks snow. 😑😑
In the forecast yesterday, I mentioned how some of the snow-free places in southwest MN could get into the 50s.
Currently 50° in Canby and 52° in Luverne.

One knife. Peanut butter first, then jelly. Wipe knife on bread or PB jar before switching. Y'all licking the knife in between are going on my list of places not to visit for dinner. 😂
I just found out that my spouse makes a PB&J sandwich using the same knife for both toppings, instead of one knife for each separate container.
We've been married for over 16 years. I cannot believe I just discovered this NOW.
Is it 1 knife or 2 when making PB&J? Chime in!

It's been weighing on my mind a lot lately. How much do I share with my kids? How do I explain to them what they are seeing happen around them? This is our home, not some far away abstract thing.
The political socialization literature suggests that the present moment is likely to have enormous impact on the political views of young people for decades to come.

Downtown Minneapolis currently—
Jake Lang and a handful of other racists/RW propagandists are surrounded by about 50 cameras and some antifascists chanting him down. A banner the group arrived with has been broken.

Couldn't sum up the mood in Minneapolis right now any better than that.

It never ceases to amaze me that people can all watch the same exact video and come to such wildly divergent conclusions of the "facts" they just saw. Confirmation bias is a trip.
