Great reporting and a knockout final line:
“Not long after, as the sun was going down, an SUV with tinted windows and an out-of-state license plate was seen barreling down a nearby street. It was followed closely by three cars, with drivers laying on their horns and whistling.”

At MPR now: Across the Twin Cities, ICE agents and activists are playing a high stakes cat-and-mouse game. The goal is to make ICE agents' jobs as difficult as possible, and protect their immigrant neighbors.

I just remembered I’m getting an induction hot plate soon. I’m so excited! I can have scrambled eggs whenever I want! I could stir fry something! Hell, I could make creme anglaise! The world? My oyster.

I have a very velcro-like brain for words & accents, which is a bit of a problem when mixed with how much British media I consume.
The latest issue is that I cannot stop saying ‘hob’ when I mean ‘stovetop’. Not helped by ‘hob’ just being a great word.

Trump’ll be at 15% approval & these consultant-piloted dipshits will still be trying to win over phantom centrists.

I do want to note three things that have happened in the wake of what ACIP is becoming to hopefully put some panicked nerves at ease.
1.) The American Association of Pediatrics is publishing their own schedule that matches the one before this goat rodeo.

After cyber Monday, it's untangle Tuesday, where we're meant to spend a few hours untangling cords. Then comes will-o'-the-wisp Wednesday, where floating lights will lead us to sale items. Thrall Thursday is when we all follow the orders of the Bone Lord and help with construction of the Bone Tower.

One of the many terrible things about our failing healthcare system is the nightmare of scheduling things & the even worse nightmare of rescheduling.
A properly staffed & resourced system would mean I could cancel my mammo today & not add ‘boob crushing’ to a migraine situation.

Today started off well & I was feeling positive & motivated & things have devolved into ‘do I have any poop emoji stickers?’

I miss the IKEA catalog. The annual paper one that you’d find in a pile on the coffee table every few months & flip through all over again, amending your long list for The Big Trek to the store.
