Mr Furious has serious iridescence happening as he stares down the camera.

Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting.

More accurate terms:
- observers
- witnesses
- volunteers
- neighbors
- residents
- people
One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

THE STORM IS HERE. Periods of heavy snow and whiteout conditions crank up this morning, accumulating at least 6 to 10 inches before changing to a wintry mix. Travel will be a complete mess. It's very cold. The vibes are frozen!!

GOOD GRIEF. It's brutal out here this morning, with wind chill values below zero. "Warming" up to around 20° F later. Clouds increase tonight ahead of a major winter storm. The vibes are straight up arctic out there...
