This is perhaps the most quintessential #Minnesotan action in response to #ICE, 🍊 🤡. Quietly being prepared, nicely letting everyone know.

You attack universities, hospitals, and schools when your goal is destroying a country, not liberating a people.

Again, Gaza was the testing ground.

OH: “What is it about DNS that people find so difficult? It’s just cache invalidation and naming things.”
Trump never learned that the pull out method doesn't work.

If this was somehow a problem, then over the last 20 years women’s Olympic sport would have been swamped by winning trans women. It hasn’t - so all the theorizing amounts to a bunch of post-hoc handwaving justification for prejudice. There is solid experimental evidence that trans women begin to lose whatever edge they may have had only months into HRT.

It’s straight up bigotry.

@ai6yr it's pretty tragic. The altruistic and well intentioned built out digital ecosystems that by their very structure became vulnerable to those less well intentioned.

And now broadly we have the structures without the trust.

History is littered with once-powerful militaries that got face-rolled because they were fighting the previous war instead of the next war.

Iran was supplying drones to Russia in the Ukraine war. They learned the important lessons.

America could have learned from Ukraine, but we decided instead to stab them in the back.

I grew up on military bases. No sympathy for the troops involved because everyone one of them is following illegal orders.

A billionaire enters a gas station. Seeing the "Leave a penny, take a penny" dish on the counter, he scoops up all of the coins and pockets them.

"I'm a genius," he says to the protesting clerk. "I earned this money. Anybody could have taken it, but only I had the vision to see what was possible."

So, when I got married I changed my last name mostly because Mr. Nay's surname is super simple and my maiden name is a pain in the ass I had to always spell and nobody could pronounce, etc. At first I moved my maiden name to be my middle name, mostly because I was graduating from grad school, working on getting licensed, etc. and was advised this would make things smoother. I eventually dropped my maiden name and went back to my original middle name. This is what's on my US Passport.

When I voted in the primaries earlier this month, I noticed my registered name was the First Maiden Married, which does not match my passport. You know, the ID I'll need to present if the SAVE act is passed. So I went online and requested a change to my name on the voter rolls. This is the subtle shit a lot of people may miss should that stupid legislation be passed. If I didn't catch it, I would have rolled up in November and been turned away.
