Iowa senator announces bill to purchase 9 Minnesota counties
From South Dakota trying to steal our western counties to random conservative secessionists trying to get away from non-white folks, Minnesota has its share of malcontents.
Now, some nutter in Iowa wants to buy nine counties. You know, all of the benefits of Minnesota but putting in none of the work. And, of course, those benefits disappear once the support of the rest of the state stays here.
Minnesota is best of class BECAUSE of the laws and mindset we have here, not in spite of it. You can’t BUY excellence, you have to BE the best. Conservatives will never know this, from the top of their party down.

Chief Justice John Roberts defends judiciary from ‘illegitimate’ attacks
This piece of shit of a Supreme Court leader thinks his institution deserves respect after all they’ve done on his watch – up to and including paving the way for a despot to take power next week.
Look asshole. If violence *does* come to your members you literally only have yourself to blame. It is still a race to see who is more responsible for our country’s failings, but Roberts is pulling ahead of Mitch McConnell these days.
Walter Mondale wrote a eulogy for Jimmy Carter. His son read it at the funeral
This was a nice touch.
Where Does Costco Source The Meat For Its Rotisserie Chickens?
It is always good to know where your food comes from. Turns out Costco went in the chicken business to have better control of its famed rotisserie chicken deal.

How to: Use Signal
Because the world is increasingly getting both weirder and more compromised, it makes sense to take care of how you present yourself online. Tightening up your communications is something to pay attention to. I used to use Signal but they gave up some features a few years ago to increase security. It might make sense to go back to them though, and ignore the missing bells and whistles.
