Just some appreciation for the amazingly retrofutursitc side-car motorcycle, the BMW Krauser Domani.

This looks like it's out of a piece of old sci-fi concept art.

Israel just hit the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, Ain al Hilweh, with missiles.

It’s a dense camp with the presence of many Palestinian factions but also many civilians.

If you’re pro-Palestine and live near the Hennepin County library Ridgedale branch they could use your support. People are celebrating getting that library to take down display related to Palestine. I don’t wanna link to it but here’s a couple screenshots
Molly Rosenblatt Community Voices Drive Change as Ridgedale Library Removes Anti-Israel Display A Facebook post expressing concern over an "International Solidarity with the Palestinian People" book display at the Hennepin County Library's Ridgedale branch sparked swift community response this week, resulting in the display's removal just a few days later. The original post, shared by a local Jewish community member, read in part: "I think most of us would consider the library a safe space and that's why I feel compelled to share the current display at the Ridgedale library. The original post, shared by a local Jewish community member, read in part: "I think most of us would consider the library a safe space and that's why I feel compelled to share the current display at the Ridgedale library. It's the first thing you see when you walk in celebrating 'international solidarity with Palestinian people. The post quickly circulated through local social media groups, prompting a wave of reactions and concerns from Jewish community members about the content, placement and titles in the books on the display. Comments in those groups included: • "It's not that they made this display, it's which books they chose." • "This display could make most Jews who walk in, right back out." • "The thing that bugs me is they don't do this on the anniversary of the Holocaust, or on October 7th. I feel like we as a community wouldn't be as upset if they did." • "I am so disgusted by our neighborhood library. It is sad, hurtful and disappointing. When confronting the staff last week the librarians were clueless and didn't know what half the books meant and how they put our Jewish lives in danger. That was very concerning to me." • "It's that exact utter lack of knowledge

Someone on the Minneapolis subreddit caught Waymos being delivered. We need the City Council need to ban the use of driverless cars. The technology isn't there. Our city cannot be a testing ground for 1.5 ton autonomous projectiles.

The Team at A Better DFL is releasing the following statement on the disastrous listening session from Thursday.

ABetterDFL.org. We need to hold the DFL to a higher standard than "at least we're not republicans."
On Thursday, November 13th, State DFL Chair Richard Carlbom attended a listening session with people from Minneapolis who have worked with the DFL, volunteered their time and effort, and worked hard to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. The vast majority of the people who spoke were upset with the DFL. They cited concerns with being labeled "divisive" for asking for basic accommodations from DFL members, concerns with ongoing bullying, antisemitism, transphobia, and racism from DFL state committee members, and concerns about what the State DFL is doing to restore trust in party systems after breaking our trust. Richard's responses were inadequate. He repeatedly deflected, went on tangents about employing "content creators" and did not apologize or acknowledge harm done. When pressed about a member who is currently on trial for vehicular manslaughter, he appealed to "due process," as though he has no power to ask a person to take a leave of absence while they are literally standing trial. The person in question, by the way, is still serving actively on both the Constitution, Bylaws, and Rules Committee and the Code of Conduct Committee, actively reviewing complaints about other DFL members. That's why we here at A Better DFL are organizing. We're fed up, and we're tired of being told to simmer down and set aside problems while corruption runs rampant at the highest level. The DFL is accountable to us, its members, and we are holding them to a higher standard than just "not being Republicans."

⭕️ NEW: Gaza Faces Partition Risk — Reuters There are growing fears of a de facto partition of Gaza as Trump’s ceasefire plan falters, the news agency reported on Tuesday. Six European officials reportedly told the outlet that reconstruction appears likely to be confined to the Israel-controlled zone, which covers 58% of the territory, including Rafah, Gaza City, and much of Gaza’s farmland — even as nearly all the remaining 2 million Palestinians are trapped in tent camps in the rubble of areas still under Hamas security control. The diplomats said the stalled U.S. plan lacks timelines or enforcement and risks hardening the “yellow line” into a permanent border dividing Gaza. Photo: Al Jazeera

A tweet from Kamala Harris: I am saddened to learn of the passing of former Vice President Dick Cheney. Vice President Cheney was a devoted public servant, from the halls of Congress to many positions of leadership in multiple presidential administrations. His passing marks the loss of a figure who, with a strong sense of dedication, gave so much of his life to the country he loved. Doug and I are keeping Lynne, their daughters Liz and Mary, and the entire Cheney family in our thoughts during this difficult time.

My partner saw a giant black plume drifting over our neighborhood here in Louisville. Five minutes later, a shelter-in-place warning went off on our phones.

A UPS cargo plane crashed. At least 3 people are dead, if not more. The air smells horrible, and big pieces of ash are falling in my yard.
