Considering which community to put down my roots in and take out a mortgage.
Anyone have any recommendations for an up-and-coming neighborhood that will really be hitting its stride in 2075?

One more story about the old ore freighter. Back in my teenage years, me and some ski friends took our First Trip. We'd been going on weekends to Afton Alps, or Welch Village (300 foot elevation) for years. Sometimes even up to Duluth for Spirit Mountain. It's not even 3 hours away if you're young.

I was recently in my local target as it's still the most reliable pharmacy, and something new that disgusted me was there were *salespeople*.
Literally folks just standing around trying to sign you up on a phone plan or subscription service. Giving the door-to-door style sales pitch.

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

I'd call energy spent fighting each other as energy lost ejecting saboteurs
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

Lots of love to a medical system where you make a appointment four weeks out, take time out of work, and then sit for an hour past your appointment time waiting for it to start

There’s no one I trust less than Donald Trump and Mike Johnson.
Any deal that relies on Republicans to keep their word is a bad one.
Democrats can’t give up on affordable health care for an empty promise. Minnesotans can’t afford for Democrats to cave.

This is our best option. Don't end the shutdown for empty promises.

Called Klobuchar for good measure
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Something funny about TheFacebookDotCom is seeing it recommend the same friends to me, day after day, for two decades. People whose names I knew in high school but never met.

The “synthetic actress” may be cheaper to cast than Leonardo DiCaprio, but AI’s footprint carries major economic and environmental costs.

Like Eric said, reading these stories, sharing them, is a form of accountability as well. It is a form of participatory democracy too. Substance matters.

Curious what things look like if this shutdown goes on for a long long time. Say 3 weeks. 6 weeks. 12 weeks. What happens?
