In 2017, 150k people paid Cards Against Humanity to protect a pristine plot of border land from Trump’s racist wall. But then an even richer, more racist billionaire—@ElonMusk—stole their land and dumped his shit all over it. Fuck that! ElonOwesYou100Dollars.com #ElonOwesMe100Bucks

Advice from Steve Jobs: “Don’t be a career. The enemy of most dreams and intuitions, and one of the most dangerous and stifling concepts ever invented by humans, is the “Career.” A career is a concept for how one is supposed to progress through stages during the training for and practicing of your working life. There are some big problems here. First and foremost is the notion that your work is different and separate from the rest of your life. *If you are passionate about your life and your work, this can’t be so.* They will become more or less one. This is a much better way to live one’s life. Make your avocation your vocation. Make what you love your work.”

The sun is shining, but this does NOT mean the storm is over! Here's a look at MNDOT plow cams from western MN. Winds are only currently gusting to 25-30mph and we're already seeing blowing and drifting. Expect conditions to deteriorate quickly through this afternoon! #mnwx #wiwx

Jacques-Emile Blanche was a friend of Degas, Manet and Renoir and made frequent visits to England, where he painted and exhibited and was well known in artistic and society circles. This portrait from 1904, captures the flamboyant character of the artist Charles Conder.
