Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

The Chief of Police in Minneapolis says their department won't help ICE and is telling residents to report ICE abductions to the police as kidnappings.
If you're from Minneapolis, you should be proud to have that kind of leadership.
To hell with the domestic terrorists known as ICE. 🖕🧊

ICE: In city crackdowns, more than two-thirds of the people arrested had no criminal record at all, according to detailed reporting from multiple jurisdictions. These operations were described as public safety efforts, yet the data shows a completely different reality.

Cooking: I made Claudia Roden's 'Egyptian Red Lentil Soup'. Very hearty on a chilly, rainy day. Served with olive bread.
Ran for about an hour earlier and stretched, working out most of the kinks from yesterday. Bruised ribs feel a little better but right groin/glute thingy still sore.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

The photo, taken in the years before the Twins arrived, looks north at farm fields surrounding a small circular plot, upon which is a baseball field with triple-decked cantilever seating running from first to third base and bleachers along the foul lines. The scoreboard stands alone in right-center.

Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff
