Donβt worry; we masked inside, and I just had the latest Pfizer MRNA Covid booster three weeks ago.

Allegedly weβre on Highway 101 South in San Juan Batista, but this is OBVIOUSLY NOT TRUE.

One of the best, and most ridiculous, annual events in Minnesota sports is the hair on the boysβ hockey teams.
Sometimes bleached, sometimes long flowing β70s mullets, sometimes both. The hockey hair is always a side show to the actual playing of the games. Never know if youβll get on camera again!

This excellent front-line account of ICE's "automated authoritarianism" by Minneapolis resident Irna Landrum carefully lays out other building blocks of this machine:

I am pretty concerned about a world where there's only 2-3 companies that can run these models. I have been spending the last few days idly musing about a coop that sets up hardware and runs the open models.

Toad stands on the stage in a Shakespearean costume, looking out into the dark theater where Frog sits.
From "The Dream"
In *Frog and Toad Together*
Toad was asleep, and he was having a dream.
He was on stage, and he was wearing a costume.
Toad looked out into the dark.
Frog was sitting in the theater.

One thing I find fascinating about antique malls and collector stores is that I tend to see more Star Wars from the 1970s and 1980s than I do Transformers, at all, of any era. Very little in the way of robots in disguise at the second hand shops.

*I wonder how many activities can be vibed besides "vibe coding."
Is a "kinetic military operation" a "vibe war," for instance.
Is a selfie a "vibe portrait."
Is social media virality "vibe journalism."
Is life extension "vibe healthcare"
