Wait speaking of book series that don’t just shit the bed in the back half, do kids still read animorphs
in addition to the "JK rowling is a huge freak monster" of it all, the back half of the books kind of suck shit and also they all moved on to Percy Jackson?

Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

recently learned about “dek bass”, a sound system culture in rural West Bengal, using cassette decks and homemade systems, and it’s remarkable because 1) the music and equipment are sick and 2) the DJ always looks like he’s being briefed on a national security issue

Bane is having a bad time.
Minneapolis, MN -
Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.

Boyfriend got me a Japanese cabbage slicer for Christmas and I got to use it today and I’m delighted. Just incredibly finely shredded little cabbage ribbons, which is all I ever want.

Feels like society’s really broken down in the US in a way that’s deeply traumatic.
But also there are college students knocking on doors asking for shovels (they’re not well-prepared) and helping trapped motorists by shoveling and pushing out cars. Up to 24 of them now, wandering streets together

Bolsonaro supporters protesting and demanding that he is set free got hit by a lightning bolt, 3 persons are in hospital now.

This is just also a genuinely interesting explainer of how snow plowing happens. (And the bike callout!)
One of the hardest things to do is bring campaign-level communications to the work of governance, and snowstorms are notoriously one of the biggest litmus tests that less-engaged voters use to judge mayoral administrations. This is an excellent way to communicate.

There’s this story I sometimes tell about a Gifted & Talented thing I did as a kid, where all the kids knew that “Ring Around the Rosy” was about the plague but they didn’t know how to adjust for these other kids who knew that too, so a bunch of 6 year olds just stood in a circle telling each other

As someone who lives with a CPA, I love Kenneth Mejia's whole thing so much. Go, fight, win (with audits).
Even though our Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Unit has only 5 investigators for the whole city, our work led to today's federal arrest of a homeless service provider.

I cannot stress to you enough this was Christians protesting other Christians because the SBC is, from its very founding, a white supremacist organization that is in heretical defiance of the Lord. Jesus flipped tables when he had to. This was much more peaceful. Interuprion vs vandalism.
Leaders of the Minneapolis congregation whose worship service was disrupted by anti-ICE protesters on Sunday are considering legal action against the activists. They also called on federal officials to protect all houses of worship from similar protests.

For those outside the Twin Cities, the person posting this GoFundMe is a member of Minneapolis city council (and among the many locals doing absolutely heroic resistance to ICE), so it's legit.
Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family.
