Absolutely terrible fucking look and a photo that should stay fresh on everyone’s minds when Lore and A-Rod inevitably say a new arena β€œcan’t be built without public funding.”

Worth remembering that when the Lynx won in β€˜17 Trump became the 1st POTUS to NOT invite a W champ to the White House.

I made 15 quilt blocks today. It was cold again, 2˚ below. I don't think we'll ever have spring.

Don't know, but pretty sure it's not any of the guesses so far. Looks fun to take apart, though.

Interesting. Wonder if they will fly the old MN flag at the fair again this year.

Really wish I had wind speed data, because the temps don't sound cold at all compared to what they went through in Jan/Feb. But e.g., a 20Β°F temp with 20mph winds feels like 4Β°F/-15Β°C

My professional background is in finance/accounting and OSINT (FARA, SEC, public corruption).

The amount of data out there about any individual is absolutely horrifying.

The failure of any administration to reel this in disgusts me.

OK. So we can pretty much presume that all the traffic cameras IN THE US ARE HACKED AS WELL.

WTF are we doing with them??? Why are we allowing ourselves to be surveilled by EVERYONE???

Haha, I think about this every time I type his name! Erwin was pronounced the German way, with a V sound. We called him Uncle Erv
