How does one get added to a starter pack of introverted, insecure neurotics?
Nah, never mind. I'm not worthy of being added to a starter pack. And I'm worried that people might start interacting with me if I do get added to one.

I just blocked Mark Hamill. Before I did, I noticed that he lost a lot of followers. He was down to only one. Sad. 😢
I hate imposters. If you follow me and I notice you I will block you. Guaranteed.

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

I feel like this official letter is an inflection point, convincing European elites that not only is Trump genuinely insane, but the people serving him in the U.S. government are either insane or too cowardly to object.

Even if Trump doesn’t invade Greenland (or Canada) he’s doing Putin an enormous favour.

Even though I'm watching from my perch here in Canada, I'm not looking forward to the emerging civil war in the United States.
That sounds exactly like a declaration of war on a US state. A completely illegal one, mind you, but we already know that legality literally means nothing to these treasonous criminals.
Senior White House official says local and state police in Minneapolis “have been ordered to stand down and surrender.”

We had endless articles and TV clips about Biden's mental capacity but silence about Trump's obvious unfitness when he says he's going to start a war with Denmark over Greenland because he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize.
Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

Note to Donald Trump: This is what an actual Nobel Peace Prize winner sounds like. You might want to take some notes.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

It's not just the St. Paul Doubletree.
The Intercontinental in downtown St Paul is also shutting for now.
According to the Pioneer Press, they're both operated by an indigenous tribe, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe.
FYI, ICE has been arresting Native Americans.

"Trade is not fundamentally about competition. It's not us versus Canada. It's us and Canada." It's really about cooperation. And if the United States won't cooperate reliably with Canada, we shouldn't be surprised when Canada looks for new friends to cooperate with. And Americans miss out.
