Al Overview: This image depicts a moment from the play Casting for Murder. The scene features Dave Tilsen and Josh Martin on a stage. The performance was described as "seven rat bags" walking onto a stage, acting, and drinking. The play was produced in April 2026.

Spring pollen got you down? Surprisingly, older adults have fewer seasonal allergies than younger adults do. And it's not just because the immune system declines with age (although it does). Matt Fuchs has more @sciam.bsky.social www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-...
His hobby appears to be digging through the archives, finding drawings for things that were never realized, and rendering them, and honestly that's the kind of thing we should all aspire to do with our lives.
A researcher named Larnie Higgins found the technical drawings for a record players (never built) designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for LH Scott Radio in 1940 and made 3D models of them.
I would take up vinyl for these.

we're currently having our worst wildfire in Nebraska history ever. over 500,000 acres and 0% contained
The Morrill Fire in Nebraska has killed 1 and consumed 549,000 acres with 0% containment. This is more than 10% of the entire area burned by U.S. wildfires in 2025, and makes it one of the 20 largest fires in U.S. history. Sunday forecast is grim: High Wind Warning, 25-35 mph winds, gusting to 50.

Everything about this picture is how I pictured trump's second term
A woman in a light purple wig sits in passenger seat of zamboni, holding a banner which states "no ICE, no more, no kings, no fear" in same font and colors as Minnesota Frost team iconography.
Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game.
No ICE
No War
No Kings
No Fear.
We don’t talk enough about the greatest wedding scene ever filmed 🎥
The EPA proposed Friday to weaken air pollution limits on a chemical used to sterilize medical equipment, a move that would reverse a Biden administration finding of high cancer risks at manufacturing facilities that use ethylene oxide to clean medical devices. https://to.pbs.org/4bbDDT6
“Typically about 10 to 15 cars and their new owners drive off the lot each month at Los Partners Auto Sales in Worthington … since early January, it’s been three.”
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**
He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.
Grazalema, Spain, received over 2,000 mm (78 inches) of rain in just the last 20 days.
Over a year’s worth of rain — and it’s only early February. This is hydrologically absurd.
Again, I want to emphasize that advertising is built on negative emotional manipulation. It’s incredibly hard to sell something, especially something largely unnecessary, to a person feeling any level of inner peace. Products solve problems, so every shortcoming you can be convinced exists opens a new space they can convince you needs filling. Unfortunately, thanks to the personal dossier collected on you, happily provided by any number of data merchants, they’ve already got a great idea of what bits to poke. Your weak points are outlined on page one, under a picture taken of you through your bathroom window, staring unhappily at your blackheads. They’re already in possession of the kompromat they need for advertising so effective it approaches blackmail. Insecure about your weight? Simply buy this activity tracker. Fitness buff? You could surely increase your efficiency with an activity tracker. Do you have a family history of neurodegenerative disease that you’ve been worriedly researching? We applaud your proactive take on your health, and think our activity tracker could provide you with some much needed peace. Advertising’s grip is so deeply ensnared in our short-and-curlies that it’s even ready for the inevitable mental fatigue caused by its constant adjustment of your mood. Start looking up “monastery living” and “how to destroy every computer in the world” and the algorithm easily pivots to selling you dumbphones and analog clocks, because if you’re really going to disconnect, it wants a piece on the way out.

This claim by Adam Schiff is simply false: the killings in our streets are not because of new ICE hires. The shooters of Miramar Martinez, Renee Good, and Alex Prett were all agents with 8+ years at DHS. We have to face it: there are longtime federal employees who will shoot civilians if allowed. 1/

There’s a @mprnews.org story about local police in St. Peter, MN helping a local woman evade the clutches of ICE agents. I don’t see it in their website yet. They said it appears to be the first such incident in Minnesota
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"
Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance.
They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along.
They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

I always appreciate Jess' analysis of what's happening in the world and I love this Zinn quote she cites here:
“What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something."
