The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

Both Governor Walz and Donald Trump are threatening to deploy the 13,000 strong Minnesota National Gaurd.

In a perfect sign of the chaos of the Trump administration, both the Governor Walz and Donald Trump are simultanesouly threatening to deploy the Minnesota National Guard, against each other! This isn't very likely to happen, of course, because it's not really clear what the NG would do with the 2800 ICE deployed there, or even what Walz or Trump might want them to do there. It is a sign of the complete incompetence of the Trump administration, of course. All of Trump's actions seem to just have the effect of causing disorder, strife and confusion, and, Trump thoroughly enjoys it!
