Under Minnesota state law, beginning in just a few years, electricity will be made available to the public for only a few hours each day, under permanent rolling blackouts.

Plan your life accordingly.
The unobtainable benchmark begins in 2030. The law allows for no exceptions.

216B.1691 subd. 2g

A $120,000 juror bribe undermines the trial currently underway.

It undermines all upcoming Feeding Our Future trials.

It undermines all trials.

It will do more damage than a nuclear weapon.

But the people in charge just shrug.
The people in charge of Minnesota, if they even notice what's happened in that Federal courtroom, act as if it's occurring in another country, one very far away.
If bribing jurors becomes just another accepted cultural business practice, then we aren't going to make it.

A short thread on logic and the application of Occam's Razor to the situation involving state Sen. Nicole Mitchell.

To believe her version requires the multiplication of too many unlikely variables.
In her telling, the senator heard disturbing news about her dementia-addled stepmom.

This news was so disturbing that she left home at 1 am on a senate off day to check on Mom, the only other heir to her late-father's estate.
Abandoning her own children back in Woodbury, she drive 3 straight hours in the dead of night.

The senator didn't phone ahead, she didn't ring the door bell. Didn't use her key to the door.

She broke in through a basement window, dressed all in black, with a dimmed flashlight.

A thread on the Facebook statement of MN state Sen. Nicole Mitchell (DFL-Woodbury). She has been charged with one felony count of burglary:

#mnleg Image
She decided to "check on" a family member by leaving her home at 1 am Monday morning and driving 220 miles, arriving shortly after 4 am, Monday morning.

She entered this home she'd visited "countless times," not with a key, but by breaking a basement window. According to police.
"I was accused of stealing." No, you were accused of burglary (breaking and entering). She denies something which she has not, yet, been charged with.

Reportedly, she admitted to police the breaking and entering part, to retrieve items she wanted, not to check on her stepmom.

This Monday morning, at that same south Twin Cities metro hotel, there were TWO busses from Mexico parked. Image
As I've noted before, the bus line's schedule indicates that this route is run twice-weekly, with Minnesota arrivals early on Friday and Monday mornings.

Some other destinations listed: Image
Guadalajara is the state capital of Jalisco state in Mexico.

A thread on deceit in the nonprofit world:

The headline sounds innocent enough:

"Hennepin County leaders plan crime prevention summit in May" startribune.com/hennepin-count…
The @StarTribune subheadline reads,

"Three-day event would bring together leaders from the county's 45 cities to find new solutions."

"New solutions." Hennepin County will try everything but the obvious old solution (that works): enforcing the law.
The event is being hosted by a group called "Cities United" billed as "a Louisville, KY, nonprofit."

Strictly speaking this isn't true.
Scroll down to the bottom of the Cities United home page.

You discover that: "Cities United is a project of Tides"

A thread on an interesting international (Mexico <---> Minnesota) bus service

A Twitter (X) correspondent sent me some photos taken of a hotel parking lot in the south Metro this week. Image
The bus pictured above is owned by an American-based scheduled bus service with an interesting business model.

It serves routes connecting cities in southern Mexico with cities in the upper Midwest. All routes pass through the official international crossing at Laredo, TX.
The busses are licensed to travel in both the U.S. and Mexico. This hotel parking lot appears to be the line's St. Paul terminal.

The manifest in the window shows that this bus originated in Guadalajara. Image
