The U.S. Constitution is a living document, and it lives in all of us.

Minneapolis star newspaper article about Conrad‘s great grandfather and unconstitutional warrantless search and seizure at the family home by the Minneapolis Police Department. Conrad‘s family won in court.

The Minnesota Public Radio fundraising drive has been a very good alarm clock around 7:20 AM

I realize that after I texted that sorry. Sorry, sorry

I hate the new iOS “Liquid Glass”. Everything looks out of focus and less intuitive where things are or what buttons do. This is the Photos app icon. At two feet away it looks blurry because of the “glass” effect around the edges of the petals.

Sorry, my bar has the ALDS on

They are definitely a way to add some levity and show how ridiculous this administration is. You might have seen that there are now multiple frogs in Portland and they are “stronger together“.

Here are the 4X and 5X telephone photo lenses on either camera without any cropping whatsoever. Which do you prefer?

Side-by-side comparison between the new camera and the old camera for telephoto on iPhone. Which do you prefer?

The iPhone 17 selfie camera is really good and has better image quality than before. You can see the definition on my beard hairs is better and the skin does not have color banding like before.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

I found the perfect outfit for No Kings on October 18. Yes, I did order the extra large size of this inflatable and also a pack of lithium AA batteries for the fan. It's important that you look fabulous at all First Amendment actions! #fitcheck

I dunno, feels like reaching the “hiding your neighbors from the masked secret police” stage of things in like 9 months doesn’t bode well for the next couple of years.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Gildan has some larger sizes. I don't know if your print shop in Los Angeles has thoughts. In Minneapolis, my print shop could print "heat press" for cheaper for smaller runs. Whereas "screen print" had a start up cost. But if you have that already, then it might okay. www.gildan.com/us/en/sf500-...
