Hoping #SCOTUS Justice Roberts can perform for #POTUS @ #Freedom250, singing #AmericanIdiot & laughing “just kidding” as the Chief (sic) then kisses the ring of Orange Jabba the Molester.

The rest of us will have a #FourthofJuly picnic and reminisce on #RuleOfLaw …

My #LittleFreeLibrary in #Minneapolis in January saw least turnover of books in years. Barely 1 every other day, typically 2 a day. #Neighbors really read & donate, but #Community so focused on #ICEout, everyday life has changed. See my books at Longfellow.LIfe

#Minneapolis Star Tribune Sports January 30th reports #ICEout story: (Hockey) Ice was a #sanctuary until ICE agents came to town.

Minneapolis was a peaceful sleepy city come January 2026. With a frozen winter landscape, we hoped for fresh snow for skiing, shoeing, snow sculptures. This morning my own urban street is calm—however a vigil at 26th & Nicollet on dear Eat Street marks the site of a Federal murder. #ICEout

Alpha Leadership Fail

“Nobody ever looks at the counter examples. Are there a few ultra-aggressive leaders that are famous that get a lot of attention? Yeah, but let’s look at all the people who are ultra-aggressive who don’t end up in the CEO role. They end up in prison.”

This is why I don’t use #Cloudflare, a centralized gatekeeper is a good CDN strategy, but a massive choke point. Small & mid-sized projects on robust platforms suffer the dependency on massive sites.

Let the Internet be the Internet—find failures, protect protocols, but not with magic solutions.

Today’s MN Star Tribune newspaper headlines are mind-boggling! UnitedHealth Group stock dropped 22% due to the annual profit estimate lowered from over $27 billion to just $24 billion. Meanwhile, hospitals are failing due to staffing costs. Why pay doctors and nurses, instead of massive profits?

Picked up a fave black tea at United Noodles in Minneapolis. Chinese Lichee adds a pleasant fruit flavor—almost as nice as the incredible Currant Black Tea from Grand Fete in Hudson, Wisconsin. Good alternatives to swigging my morning coffee.

Attended the Center for Photographic Studies on Main Street in Louisville a few blocks from the Old National Bank, site of a tragic mass shooting yesterday. Documented club & street life on the funky old West Main strip way back in 1975. So sad, we must change.

Barber Bob trending on local news in Minneapolis, with our targeted press campaign by Word & Image. Got several TV news stories, a radio story, and several online news stories. Too bad it celebrates the closing of a 120-year-old historic institution.
