Let Tim Cook
Might Tim Cook retire as CEO of Apple in early 2026? There are signs...

❝
After 30 minutes of standing in a window recess surrounded by people, being hit with water balloons, "marched" to his hotel
He has reportedly retreated / led the crowd to his hotel, very smart guy 🙃
I sincerely hope that all of the bluster of the nonstop national news networks, as well as the massive mobilization of forces, all end up being for a huge nothing-burger. 20 people?! Even ICE recruits better than that.

Thanks to all the folks on the ground and following the video who are sharing all these reports.

People played the Frozen soundtrack to drown them out
Lang appears to be yelling anti-Muslim phrases on his megaphone, but it’s difficult to hear what he’s actually saying. Dozens of people, including ones from the media, are around him as he stumbles from one side of the street to the other.
Jake Lang trying to hit people with what appears to be a curtain rod
Lang is stuck in a window recess against Minneapolis City Hall. He’s soaked with freezing water after counterprotesters hurled water balloons at him.
Big ups to whoever got Lang with a water gun LMAO

FYI, the temperature in Minneapolis is about 10°F / -12°C.

Russian spy balloons over NATO countries. A "warm-up" before open aggression?: https://benborges.xyz/2025/10/28/russian-spy-balloons-over-nato.html

Most of the characters on Lost arrived on flight 815. The Nigerians died in their plane crash. Desmond and the mercenaries arrived by boat. Henry Gail crash landed in his balloon.
Not a single character arrived by bus or light rail. How about some representation of urban public transportation, Damon Lindelof?

This Crimbo, I will mostly be hanging out on Tumblr, Mastodon, Bluesky and Reddit, in that order, while non-stop Stargate SG-1 plays on my telly.
