Excellent PSA from a weatherman who knows which way the wind blows.
Do you hate driving in snow? Have a new driver who needs to learn? Take advantage of today’s snow!
Go find an unplowed empty parking lot (schools, business parks, offices, etc) and PRACTICE!
Starts, stops, slamming on the brakes, turns without fishtailing. Get comfortable in snow!

This is the second largest payout from a private university to the Trump admin yet, second only to Columbia’s $200m

This is one of the most incredible things I’ve ever read.
It is, apparently 🙄, “anti Zionist racism” to call someone a “‘Zionist’ without their consent.”
Also, to call them a “colonizer” or “genocide supporter.”
I guess they really have completely worn out ‘antisemitism.’ 🤷🏻♂️

I don't disagree with John but there's another layer too which is people like him should never get near power and yet they get near it often.
There's something wrong with the system that allows people like Miller to do anything more significant than bookkeeping.

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.
Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.

Extended fam in Hibbing asked about St Paul ICE raids at dinner yesterday. So we told them about @katiestp.bsky.social arrest at Bro-Tex.
2 takeaways:
1) Thankful to have supportive family
2) A *lot* more people in small places are aware of & repulsed by ICE than we probably give them credit for

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.
