Might’ve just had the most genius hard hat brigade idea. No clue if it’s possible, will fit on my head, or if anything works how I think it does.
But…
Just maybe…
It might work.

If anyone visits the UP or Wisconsin, a lot of stores have espresso cheese. 10/10 purchase.
Coffee and cheese, what more could you want?

Tuned in solely for the halftime show and holy cow, that was amazing.
This one seemed a lot more upbeat than most shows and the stage stuff was really creative. Might have to listen to the guy now.

There really ought to be moderation for stuff that doesn’t explicitly break rules but is just a “why would you even say that” sort of thing. Completely rude and uncalled for.
Or at least an option to virtually punch people saying such stupid things.

Side note for any college students- try to get an archeology teacher for your class. 2 out of 2 they’ve been the most fascinating/educational classes and know an insane amount of interesting things.
My college lit class is currently on the slavery-era unit and holy ouch, so much is similar to current events. Dehumanizing non-whites, making small issues major to distract and prevent real action, overall complete inhumanity, and more.
I don’t get how so many people don‘t see an issue with him.

Supposed to have a 6-8am shift shoveling snow, and got up at 5am to be ready.
Turns out, at 1am the shift was canceled.
While the supervisor is otherwise good, theres a strong urge to strangle something for waking up this early to sleep again.

Sometimes seeing the self-deprecation of one of the major infosec accounts here is hard. I wish I was able to express how impactful they’ve been and get it through to them, because they’re always so much harder on themself than they deserve.
I hope one day soon they get the help they need.

Am I bored enough to try to get insurance to work today? We’ll see.
Have to figure out what prior auth is and how to get it, and then what additional random requirements they put in. Last attempt took 2+ hours to get nowhere.

Fully convinced Broomball is the worst class, and I would take every mean/bad/AI teacher’s class over another month of this.
If I didn’t only have 6 more classes of this I would have dropped it instantly.

Thanks (ish) to the one just trying to help by offering me an internship there.
But yeah, I think my “lifestyle choices” are exactly what they’re targeting… could be interesting though to see the insides if I passed well enough.

Since March of 2025, the Department of Health and Human Services has been using tools from Palantir and the startup Credal AI to weed out perceived alignment with “DEI” or “gender ideology.”

Not confirmed yet. ICE activity reported in Houghton, MI. Our winter carnival is next week, our biggest yearly event and a ton of people visiting. Really bad timing.
From a reddit post from someone whose friend’s parent works at the hotel. 30 rooms tried to book under DHS.
