Oooh, they're bringing in the colleague that grew up a couple blocks from me. He doesn't know that I know this about him, but if he knew my maiden name he'd probably figure it out really quickly
No one knows where this data came from, day two. Rumors are, this load bearing data was a proof of concept that is being sunset soon. Still, no one knows if there is a permanent replacement. 🙃
I can't do the work I need to do because no one can figure out how to give me access to the data I need to build a report, so instead I'm going to hyperfixate on dead bodies in Lake Superior like a totally normal human person.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

99.9% of the time when someone says "ultra-processed foods" what they really mean is "the kinds of foods I assume fat, unhealthy poor people eat, and to which I ascribe blame for their fatness and ill-health, because I believe they are stupid and have no self-control."

Taking over a party from within is a real thing that happens. There’s precedent for it at multiple points in American Trump JUST DID IT to the GOP.
Creating a new viable party hasn’t happened since 1856.
Creating a new viable party hasn’t happened since 1856.
There’s a two party duopoly in this nation.
Is it great? No! Is it reality? Yes.
Creating a third party means building up an entirely new infrastructure from scratch and then fighting both R & D.
Taking over the Dem Party is an easier and more effective route. It’ll take time, but it’s worth it.

Other people will often have fun for an hour in a way that baffles and annoys you. Life is a rich tapestry. Having fun is frequently very stupid.

If you want to do this in Minnesota specifically for your LGBTQ+ siblings, might I recommend ABetterDFL.org in this trying time?

It all sucks! But the people who are your enemies are in the WH, not the people who are just trying to fucking survive. There's nothing wrong with a civil servant being desperate to get back to work and get their backpay. Check your fucking fire.

That said, Caitlin doughty has a great video on the dead in Superior, but there are brief glimpses of Old Whitey's legs
This goes for literally any shipwreck in Superior. "The lake it is said never gives up her dead" isn't just great lyrics

MSP residents: we have a gurdwara in Bloomington. I drove by it all the time when I still could.
Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.
No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

A lady on TikTok has been calling churches pretending to be a mother with a baby who needs formula and several churches turned her away. But wouldn’t you know that when she called a Mosque (Islamic Center of Charlotte) they immediately said yes.
