I'm the "P" in this message.

Every single time you see the term "Somali fraud" in the media or elsewhere, vehemently remind them that the founder of Feeding Our Future is a white lady: apnews.com/article/feed... The fraud was and is race/origin agnostic. To say anything else is flat out xenophobic and racist.

This has been little talked about in all of the noise. Guess we will see soon if we get a McNuthing Burger: boingboing.net/2025/11/18/e...

This is not your usual high school performance — not just because there is nothing usual about the year these kids have had so far — but also because it's punches way above it's weight.

Also, the best Plan A starts with a Plan B.

While mortgages of increasing lengths seem to be in renewed conversation. A reminder that the vast majority to people in America don't *own* their home — banks do: www.patrickrhone.net/the-hard-tru...

Thought: Some say they want walkable neighborhoods and 15 minute cities. They also tend to want to work from home, DoorGrubDash meals, order from Amazon, stream all the things, and basically do anything but actually support things they should walk to. Walkable cities start with leaving your house

Livestream from the Senate.

The word of the day is: Shellacking! I hope some lessons were learned tonight.

When you find out that the guy kind of goofing around on the piano while you were at Grand Central Station seeing the Dear New York exhibit was Lin-Manuel Miranda...

Saint Paul folks — want to learn more about @kaohlyforstp.bsky.social's platform before the November 4 mayoral election? I would love to see you at this event: www.mobilize.us/kaohlyherfor...

Hey Minnesota, if you missed seeing the super moon/harvest moon last night due to cloud cover. Right now is an excellent time to go outside and take a peek.

On the occasion of my 58th Birthday, I made a list of 58 things I know: www.patrickrhone.net/58-things-i-...

My wife @bethanyg.bsky.social and I will be there. Can’t wait!

I'm not really a Newsom fan but I've been saying this for months: www.instagram.com/reel/DN50ues...

This was a very fun overnight trip. Having the very personalized tour of Lake Forest was amazing.

I got to see this in person last night and it is mind blowingly cool. Sign up and learn how to start your own.

Another good one.

Local folks: I'll be at the Minnesota Bloggers Conference. If you consider yourself one, perhaps you should be too. www.mnbloggerconference.com

I always enjoy doing these.

Bring y'ass!

Seriously. Got check Bandits on The Run out. You won't be disapointed.

Some thoughts on education (and why no one of note cares where you go to college): www.patrickrhone.net/a-knower-of-...

Mike Lee is the woman in the seat right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbnC...

Thanks for this…

This should be broadcast and spead on every available network.

Notice how zeitgeist and discussion around the Big [Bad] Bill has been tampered by zeitgeist and discussion around ICE protests. That's by design.

Wondering if Tesla owners are privately hoping that one result of this feud is that random people will be flipping them off less when they're driving.

I wrote up some disjointed thoughts on culture change and would welcome any discussion, respectful disagreement, and/or "but also" around them: www.patrickrhone.net/disjointed-t...

The double edged sword of calling Donny Dictator out on the TACO thing... It will really get under his skin. His attempt to disprove it will tank the global economy.

Prediction: Soon, there will be schools from elementary to college whose selling point will be not using computers, let alone AI, in the curriculum. They will have long waiting lists.

A collection of thoughts about AI and Learning I put together for the Academic Dean at my daughter's school. TL;DR: It's a tool. It's everywhere. The kids are going to use it. Either learn how to deal with that or go back to bluebooks and pencils. www.patrickrhone.net/thoughts-on-...

I was just thinking to myself as I went to Costco to get things I used to get at Target that it's been a while since I got anything there. I used to go several times a week.

🎙️ Just published a new episode of A Productive Conversation: PM Talks S2E5: Adaptability. Have a listen:

It's almost impossible for me to describe how much Wintermoon Summersun has meant to me. So when it burned in the Camp Fire, the best way we could think of to help out was to do a new website for them to replace the hacked one. Design by Patrick, text/photos by me: www.wintermoonsummersun.net

Back in 2021, my wife wrote about our time as a family at Wintermoon Summersun (whose website has been hacked since the founder passed away so don't click the link in the post): prologuist.blogspot.com/2021/10/trai...

Here's a MPR story on Wintermoon Summersun. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

I’ll add that Wintermoon Summersun is a very special place and means a lot to us, especially my wife Bethany. Woman built and run. Truly heartbroken to see what was lost but grateful for the animals (and human) that were saved.

Soph evacuated 26 sled dogs (and 4 cats!) as the Camp Fire loomed. One died due to heat stroke. Now she's got vet bills and a whole lot to rebuild. Mushers are truly special people: www.gofundme.com/f/help-soph-...

Has it occurred to anyone else that the Republican Congresscritters are acting and planing the way one does when one is not afraid of losing their jobs? Feel free to bookmark this post. I'm calling it: The midterm fix is in.

Will anyone be offended if I refer to him as Pope Southie?

Wondering when the press will start figuring out that “the weave” is a symptom of dementia.

If I seem to be freaking out more than usual right now, this is why: prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/05/conc...

Still not feeling 100% but going to give yoga my best shot anyway.
