Oh dang I love that bit of Greek mythology, the tale of Castor and Castor and Castor and Castor and Castor and Castor and Pollux
Castor, one of the stars marking Gemini's twins — and one of the brightest in the sky — is actually a sextuple star, a *six*-star system! Now, for the first time, astronomers have split some of those tightly bound stars.

If you're trying to follow the horror in Minneapolis, Sahan Journal, the Star Tribune, the Minnesota Reformer and Minnesota Public Radio are all providing excellent coverage. The Reformer posted the key video, showing that the victim was no threat to anyone.

Heartbroken and furious about the murder committed by ICE in Minneapolis this morning. The video is disturbing but shows the spin of the DHS is bullshit. The agent needs to be identified and arrested immediately.
This is the video.

They don't want to be creators, they want to have what they perceive as the cultural status that creators have, without doing the work for it.
A lot of them also think we make a lot more money than we do, which they want as well.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
