I mean, I’m not entirely blameless here, I was at the mall…

The only thing worse than a cybertruck is a cybertruck wedged into a compact parking space at the mall

"At the end of the day, it's bigger than me. The things that are going through makes people uncomfortable, imagine how (Palestinians) feel?" he said. "That's the biggest thing. I have no affiliation, no connection, to these people - other than the fact that I am a human being.

12:184 ・11、81 E mnhs.org 凸 First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment | MNopedia Written by Hampton Smith | Mar 13, 2012 6:00:00 AM The First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment holds a special place in the history of Minnesota. It was the first body of troops raised by the state for Civil War service, and it was among the first regiments of any state offered for national service. As part of the Union Army of the Potomac, the First Minnesota saw action in most of the major battles in the war's Eastern Theater, which included the states of Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, among others. The First Minnesota won a reputation as a hard-fighting regiment, particularly after its dramatic, sacrificial action at the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. After the war, the First Minnesota became legendary and a symbol of the Civil War service of all Minnesotans.

On July 2, 1863, the second day of fighting at Gettysburg, the First Minnesota helped General Winfield S. Hancock hold the Union line against advancing Confederate soldiers. Outnumbered three or four to one, the First Minnesota fought the Confederates at close range over 300 yards of open ground near Cemetery Ridge. The next day, the First Minnesota contributed to the repulse of Pickett's Charge, which effectively ended the Battle of Gettysburg and served as a turning point in the war. Two soldiers from the First Minnesota, Corporal Henry O'Brien and Private Marshall Sherman, received the Congressional Medal of Honor for their actions that day. But the regiment's fighting at Gettysburg came at a cost: hundreds of Minnesota soldiers died or were wounded, and the regiment was nearly destroyed.

A good time to remind everyone of the Minnesota First. One of the earliest state militias to volunteer to fight in the Civil War—three years after joining the Union! Provided one of the essential turning points at Gettysburg. Took the flag of the Virginia regiment they captured AND STILL HAVE IT.

The ICE statement is directly contradicted by an eyewitness account posted by MPR earlier on the live page

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless cheeks of stone
Sit in the desert."

The Emergency Is the Atmosphere “It’s meant to exhaust us. It’s meant to destroy us."

“They have waged violence and terror, making propaganda films of their own chaos… and said, `Look what they made us do. They’re out of control.’”

"Saying that our country has tipped over an invisible edge into an authoritarian state plainly is important — and easier than most in the media and pundit class will pretend it is."

This is even better than you think it could possibly be

I’m really proud of my 12yo for taking risks and doing things he loves but isn’t as good at (yet) as he’d like to be.

I’m proud of myself for helping him work thru insecurity and build the courage to take these risks.

And I seem completely incapable of applying any of this wisdom to my own life.

oh didn’t realize this video is from a live show, never seen this version

Yup, iirc it runs over the credits of the Black Mirror episode 🔥

your kids will be fine, is what I’m saying

Any chance we see bigger rosters next year with the new CBA?

I’m wondering how many roster spots are up for grabs. Are all the 3rd round picks plus Zia Cooke potentially competing for one spot?

I have to assume Fishy knew this and was protecting you

1) very glad to hear kid is ok

2) dude is lucky you didn’t put him in the hospital
