when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

I wrote about the Hamm's Brewery redevelopment, which is finally looking like it will happen. IMO it'll really tie the neighborhood together. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...
There’s new hope for the former St. Paul home of Hamm’s Brewery - MinnPost
If all goes as planned, local developer JB Vang could break ground on a residential project at the Hamm’s site next year.

I connected a WiFi enabled solenoid valve to a hose and set up a script on my phone so when the camera detected a squirrel it got blasted with the hose briefly. It was very effective.

USA 2.0 we’re doing sortition for a 1:30,000 unicameral legislature
I know this guy is a senator but he’s a prime example why we need vastly more people in Congress. We can’t keep letting the literal stupidest failsons having so much legislative power.
Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."

May have to take another early birthday trip to Chicago just to do this walking tour
(I would not have noticed this, except I just went on an excellent @chiarchitecture.bsky.social walking tour of Chicago's elevated train system, where I learned that rivets were used originally and bolts for later repairs.)

Equating Al Jazeera with Nick Fuentes is certainly a choice
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

Have them describe using their local public transit system and which improvements they would like to see to it
It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend
