If you paid attention, what the press was really covering was the ~political fight~ over Minneapolis much more than what was actually happening to MN residents. All that has really changed is that the Trump admin removed itself from the discourse.
The media moved on when trump said he had a new tone because as the constitution states the president is the editor in chief of all news outlets
A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Every day!
It's fucking Monday... again...

Kids have off of school, but since I work from home they said I can't claim a snowday. Unfun bastards!

Now I'm having to delete half my Teams answers because "ya think?" is apparently 'uncalled for'. Someone said, "sarcasm doesn't help here"... agree to disagree

The comments! <chef kiss>
And thou mayest aske thyself, 'How do Ich werke thys?'
And thou mayest aske thyself, 'Wher ys that large destrier?'
And thou mayest telle thyself, 'Thys nys not my beautiful castle!'
And thou mayest telle thyself, 'Thys nys not my swift goshawk!'

A study in green

Linen (more yellow-green), wool, silk around neck. All essentially dyed in same bath, did linen first then added a cup of vinegar for wool/silk.

Linen is an older dress that needed re-dye, it was kind of a straw with most of the color gone, wool and silk were natural

Happy V'Ger Day, space nerds! Today in 2012, Voyager 1 entered interstellar space, becoming the first human-made object to do so, entering interstellar space at about 122 AU, or about 11 billion miles (18 billion kilometers) from the Sun. We celebrate by watching #StarTrek The Motion Picture. 🛰️🔭🦛
Interstellar Mission - NASA Science
The Voyager interstellar mission extends the exploration of the solar system beyond the neighborhood of the outer planets to the outer limits of the Sun's sphere of influence, and possibly beyond.
