Minneapolis uterus havers: if you’re bleeding out of cycle and wondering why, it’s the tear gas. Really, it does that

"Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis"

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

To people outside of MN. And it’s not just Mpls that hasn’t slowed down, either.
A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Im always amused after a storm when the meat section has been decimated and the vegan food section is still fully stocked. Only hotdogs in the house are veggie dogs.
There were veggies. The ones on my list? No. But now I get to be creative

I'm glad everyone stocked up pre-storm, as now it's my turn to hit the grocery, and I'm hoping for no crowds.

Do we think this heated mat will keep wet food in a bowl from freezing?
Im doubtful. If not, I may just put the food straight on the mat

"State regulators should reconsider their 'let it rip' approach to autonomous vehicle licensure and regulation. A human driver who violated school bus safety road rules dozens of times would likely have lost their license, but there has been no discernable state regulatory consequence to Waymo."

What does this mean, and what might we do to improve safety while the process plays out?
