The true hero of this evening was the cool uncle who pulled off a numerical 6-7 joke that sailed over the pre-teens' heads and gave all adults a roar.

We are already push our limits against the elements in so many respects - it is horrifying that the the magnitude of this tragedy appears to have been caused by scaffolding.

Grateful for the companies dousing pretzels with peppermint bark because that somehow seems like ingesting less sugar.

Shots at journalists.

It's also time to get rid of "less-lethal" as descriptor. Use the actual weapon name. Bean bag? Rubber bullet? St. Paul PD should have to disclose that.

"Officer-related bean-bag incident" is better than "Less lethal"
From the MN Society for Professional Journalists: St. Paul police shot three photojournalists (MPR, Reuters, Sahan Journal) with "less lethal" munitions during an ICE operation yesterday. One had to go to the hospital. They say they were specifically targeted by St. Paul police.

On December 4, 2007, in the Usenet group “Friends of the Friendless,” someone wrote:
“Happy Friendsgiving Y’all!”

And that is the first recorded use of ‘Friendsgiving’ in print.
