IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS:

TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION

"Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

How To Help if You are Outside Minnesota Last edited January 22, 2026 Iโ€™m going to assume that if youโ€™re reading this, you more or less understand the situation in Minnesota and I donโ€™t have to explain it to you! That saโ€ฆ

If youโ€™re outside of Minnesota and youโ€™re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent.

And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

This is your casual reminder that executive orders are not laws.

EOs are directives meant to manage the operations of the federal government. Not state governments.

The states that even deign to acknowledge this are the ones who actively WANT to. No one's forcing them.

NASA Intern Found Hope in the Moon - NASA Lee esta historia en espaรฑol aquรญ

This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is whatโ€™s at stake

Ida Wells was born enslaved but refused to live in fear. She wielded the power of the press to expose Americaโ€™s greatest terrorโ€”lynching. When the truth made her a target, she didnโ€™t back down. She co-founded the NAACP, fought for Black womenโ€™s voting rights, and left a legacy of resistance!

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesnโ€™t get to decide what gender a person is.

Something interesting you might not have realized: a number of words in English are nouns when you stress the first syllable but verbs when you stress the second.

"Your CONduct is better when you conDUCT yourself appropriately.โ€
