There's a lot of chatter here in Minneapolis about a far-right group staging a hate rally / “march” / attack on Saturday — and a lot of confusion about what the targeted community is asking in response.

If you heard “don't go downtown, don't do anything,” also STOP.

faculty_hiring: Faculty hiring networks (Comp. Sci., Business, History)

Yay, the "good" (still very slow but not like molasses) Internet is back! ~18-hour outage.
