This reminded me of driving around Iceland in a not-always-functioning car of my mom's friend, with my friend and her young cat, climbing all over everything. Some 25 years ago. For some reason, it seemed like a grand idea at the time...

Back from very hot Italy to lagom chilly Sweden. One hour traffic jam outside Rosersberg with some poor souls taken to the hospital after a serious car crash on E4. Glad midsommar.

[💯unnecessary] "troops in LA to cost Americans at least $134m". Recently, all of NIH's "CREID" Centers were cut because they were deemed "unsafe". Those centers would have helped pandemic-proof the US for five+ years. For <$100M. But, sure, send in the troops. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."
