You talking about Don Snoreleone?

I haven't been following this too closely. Don't tell me that people are coming out in support of her for that.

I hope you get to do whatever helps you recover and re-energize, but for me it's unplugging from everything and getting lost in the natural world. Hang in there, buddy.

Maybe not the 5 richest, but a random sampling from the top 50 (we can work out the exact mechanics). Keeps it spicier, and the ultra-wealthy love feeling like they're gambling.

But hey, at least one of them became President.

This is the wrong community to post a photo of a tiger in. I imagine it should only be crocheted items here.

Seriously though, super cute!

I'm all for it. I'm not sure what laws actually exist in the USA related to this, which is, I imagine, why it's so pervasive. Some states have started passing legislation to help their residents protect their privacy, but until we have something on a national level it's going to be an issue.

Even though it seems like common sense, our current society is ruled by profit and extraction, not decency. Throwing CEOs and boards in prison with a lot of publicity sure could be a way to change that...

Super cute... thank you for posting this!

I should have looked into it before posting as I misremembered the breadth of the issue, but when I first started going out there for work this was a recent happening: https://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/07/13/somalia.americans.killed/index.html

So it wasn't terrorist cells as such, but some guys recruiting Somali-Americans to go to Somalia and fight for some other guys.

So you're saying that a mantis shrimp wouldn't have created this accident?

From my limited experience, Minnesota is tremendously more progressive than their neighbors who make a really big deal about (poor quality) cheese. I met some younger folks in the Twin Cities who had escaped an otherwise bleak trajectory after growing up in Wisconsin.

If you haven't been, Minneapolis and St. Paul are beautiful cities filled with some lovely people. (They also had some terrorist cells some years back. People need something to do in the cold months, I suppose.) But there's culture and history and decent food and people are really kind and welcoming. And although the winters are cold, getting around in the skyway is a neat idea, despite making the downtown feel like a big indoor mall.

I haven't been to Wisconsin but I know people who have. It sounds like they're trying in some places (Milwaukee) but sometimes trying just isn't enough.

I'm so sorry that you're going through all this, but really appreciate you sharing your perspective. I hope that it reaches people that need to hear it, and mostly I hope that you're okay, or at least that you will be soon.
