The look you get when you hide your cat's food in a different place every night. I try to tell her it's an enrichment activity but she's not buying it.

RIP Big E on #GrandAve. We would have bought your food if your windows weren't egg yolk yellow, if your sandwiches had been 40% cheaper, and if you hadn't been owned by a jerk celebrity chef.

Finally finished this 5 1/2 hours of brilliance. It took a while because I listen until I fall asleep. Some nights 40 minutes, some 5. It is so utterly compelling I struggle mightily to remain awake but always fail. Sometimes the story leaks into dreams. Peak storytelling.

But we can deliver a military strike in just minutes! When I try to decide which “plans” to choose or, often, when I try to access healthcare (that we’ve paid for), I think “Only a sick, sadistic country would come up with a system like this.”

Was watching Wrath of Becky with my daughter and it's an awesome nazi stomping adventure until the feds want to hire Becky to continue her good work. That part was totally unrealistic.
It's weird watching a movie with my 11 year old son where the secretaries of departments like Defense and State and Homeland Security are all dedicated lifelong professionals with the well being of the American people as priority one and realize this is Fantasy to him.

This was my thought when some guy in Mahtomedi lost $8M in a wrench attack a few weeks ago. Like, what is wrong with you that you keep $8M on a hard drive under your mattress?
This is why banks were invented, fyi.
Speaking of Sam Altman. . .
His ex-boyfriend (I know, right?) was just robbed of $11MM in crypto

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

The SPPD chief should lose his job over this.
From the MN Society for Professional Journalists: St. Paul police shot three photojournalists (MPR, Reuters, Sahan Journal) with "less lethal" munitions during an ICE operation yesterday. One had to go to the hospital. They say they were specifically targeted by St. Paul police.
