Statement from President VanDassor on the actions of HSI in St Paul this morning
It’s quite *interesting * that St. Paul police show up and are masking just like the feds/ICE.
For the second time in a week, a federal law enforcement operation drew protesters in St. Paul on Tuesday. The latest operation happened on the 600 block of Rose Street East — a residential area in the city’s Payne-Phalen neighborhood.
Another federal agent operation in St. Paul draws large crowds of protesters
There was no immediate confirmation about the nature of the operation, but an MPR News photographer captured images of federal agents on the scene, including at least three from Homeland Security Inve...

Just got out of Zootopia 2 and i really think St. Paul could use it for additional anti-racism training. Would solve everything
Anyway, can't believe St. Paul Police are acting like this on the eve of their holiest day (the release of another Zootopia movie)

They played without a striker for the final 3rd of the season
Thinking again about the Loons match and the first half was ugly, but Loons made San Diego look useless. Then they came out and turned it in in 2nd half. SD managed a single shot on goal and it was a worldy! Maybe boring but if you don’t see it as anything but fantastic soccer, you’re a rube.

Within 12 hours of me leaving town the internet died. Like, dudes, can I just go away for 4 days?
Heads up y'all, the internet went down the day bossman left for vacation, so we can't open up early today for Champions League. We will keep you posted on whether we fix it by Wednesday.

AI can't replace your grandma
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.
