I sell shoes at The Mall
I’m still a train wreck. Just less obvious about it.

I saw someone from 20 years ago in my store. I hope she doesn’t remember the kind of train wreck I was. If she doesn’t her sister might.

I saw the BBC cite the CDC for something and it made me sad that I questioned it. I like Mayo Clinic for health info.
Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.

The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.

They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.

Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air

Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

The judge should throw this out.
A Minneapolis woman & American citizen was arrested early Tuesday after confronting ICE officers over the arrests of three neighbors in north Minneapolis. She appears to be the first observer arrested since ICE launched a Twin Cities immigration surge last week. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

I hate living in the rain/snow line of a storm. I prefer all snow.

They at least didn’t give me the creeps, though. I’ve had a few of those lately.
Just had a drunk couple buy a few shoes at 12:22.

More of this guy and much less Gov. Newsom.
Mark Kelly: "They are not silencing me. I'm still speaking out. I still am going to do my job every single day regardless of whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I'm not gonna shut up."

I wonder how many bears felt it.
Yesterday’s M7.0 Hubbard Glacier #earthquake in Alaska was reported by only 551 people, with a maximum reported intensity of V. Its limited impact is largely due to the remote region it occurred in. 🧪⚒️

Ending DEI practices in college admissions will expose an uncomfortable truth. Women now outperform men academically.

If universities stop trying to gender balance incoming classes but instead admit based on merit, they’ll reject men at higher rates than they do today.
Trump’s attack on DEI may hurt college men, particularly White men
The Trump administration’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion also targets gender. The ban may impact gender balancing practices that often benefit college men.

Stunning footage from earlier today, when the new Kilauea eruption covered the USGS Webcam 3, which is situated in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater near the southern rim of the much larger Kilauea caldera.

This *isn't* what the people of Pompeii saw.

But it's not very far off.

Instead of discussing data, the speakers blamed gay men, promiscuous women, urban residents & immigrants for spreading HBV in the U.S.

ACIP is a joke.
Instead of career scientists w/ experience, a climate change scientist & an MBA gave talks.

The roughly 15,000 satellites in space are already a nuisance to astronomy research. It could get a LOT worse.

His work is scientific malfeasance. This nonsense only serves to take away accomplishments and work from real actual human beings. I’m surprised it came across my feed.

I have met Minnesotans who I am sure would vote My Pillow Guy for governor. I hope they are too few to be of concern.

Rand Paul: "Secretary Hegseth said he had no knowledge of this and it did not happen. It was fake news. It didn't happen. And then the next day, from the podium of the WH, they're saying it did happen. So either he was lying to us on Sunday or he's incompetent and didn't know what had happened."

They’ll be pepper spraying those who will show up to protest.
With the MPLS Police Chief talking about being on the side of citizens i have to wonder what that means. Because if ICE shows up in cedar Riverside it’s gonna get ugly and what will mpls cops be doing?
