“Convicted of a crime I didn’t even commit. Hah! Attempted murder? Now honestly, what is that? Do they give a Nobel Prize for attempted chemistry? Do they?”
Link. Good point.
China’s terror program: “member of the Chinese political establishment who requested anonymity brought the documents to light”

“number of patients who had heart attacks was 276 in the stent and bypass group, compared with 314 in the medication group, an insignificant difference.”
Link. Meds have gotten better, stents & surgery stagnate.
Best practices in passwords – 2019 version.

“Your long butterfly keyboard nightmare is over. The new Magic Keyboard in the 16-inch MacBook Pro has an almost identical look and feel to much older Apple devices”

Twin Cities facility for special needs strength and fitness training.
My #1 is doing their special Olympics strength training at Built on Bravery, located at the Mendota Height MN Lions United Fitness Center (map):
Lions United is a new kind of training center, designed specifically to prepare people with disabilities for exceptional performance in individual competitions, team sports and life, especially people with autism, down syndrome and cerebral palsy. We’re dedicated to Special Olympics’ Project UNIFY and Unified Sports®, which means we bring people of all abilities together to strengthen individuals, relationships and communities.
This new facility is first in Minnesota to focus on persons with cognitive disabilities. Special needs fee $20/month, reimbursed by National Independent Health Club Association if workout 8+ a month. Others $40/m or $20 if 8+. Family memberships.
There is a big unmet need for health and fitness support of special needs teens and adults. Diets are often worse than average and there are few welcoming places to go. (Several CrossFit gyms are welcoming, but that’s a big climb. This facility has grant support.)
We need more like this!
45 Trump lies about his protection racket.
Link. Funny to see all the variants on the word “lie”. Journalists mocking an editorial policy.
“The Russian contempt for Trump is understandable, but showing it so publicly is self-indulgent and quite untypical. They clearly have some hold over the man, but why flaunt it?”
Link. Russians are too honest.
Global protests – generational?
Link. Ok boomer with fatalities
