This Is Actually Great


The Mystery of the Bloomfield Bridge


This pedestrian bridge crosses I-494 just west of the Minneapolis Airport. It connects Bloomington to Richfield. I drive under it often and I wondered: why is it there? It's not in an area that is particularly walkable, and it doesn't connect any establishments that obviously need to be connected. So why was it built?
I often have curious thoughts like this, but I dismiss most of them because if I answered all of them I would get nothing else done. But one day I was walking out of a Taco Bell and found myself at the base of the bridge.
That only raised MORE questions! Why did the bridge just lead to some grass? Why isn't there a sidewalk? What is the point? It makes no sense!
Obviously I had to walk across it to see where it went. I found that it connects that Taco Bell... to a Grainger.

I found this to be a thoroughly engrossing and enjoyable read, as this guy spends months trying to solve the mystery of Chesterton's Bridge. I wish he were training political reporters.


You Will Apologize For Existing


We are all criminals? I don't think so...


The Stearns County Human Services Department recently required all of its employees to attend a training on how they are “all criminals.”

The training was mandatory, according to internal emails obtained by Alpha News, and employees who were unable to attend were provided a recording.
“This training is mandatory for all staff, however, if you are unable to attend the in-person training, we will have a recording available for later viewing. Nevertheless, I encourage you to attend in person as it is a very powerful training (and it’s always fun to connect with your co-workers about all of us being criminals)!” Human Services Administrator Melissa Huberty wrote in an email to staff in the department.
The Aug. 14 training was called “We Are All Criminals” and was put on by a nonprofit of the same name.

The group wants to help criminals get a second chance, easing their way back into the working world. Nothing wrong with that. But being leftists, of course, they can't do that by encouraging them to take responsibility for their action and repent, no, they have to stigmatize everyone else for the “privilege”. The only difference between you and Rico “The Shark” Gionelli, who just got done serving 12 years of a 20 year sentence for putting an old man in intensive care while collecting for a loan shark, is that you weren't caught that one time you jaywalked in high school.


A Taxing Thread


The Income Tax is Chattel Slavery.


13th Amendment outlawed slavery, 16th made it universal.

The income Tax is Chattel slavery.

It is an infinite debt that can never be paid off, a debt that no amount of money can ever make you free of, and instead, you and all your descendants will eternally be having your wages garnished and all your transactions tracked and subjected to reporting requirements as if you are a parolee from a debtors prison, you have no right to avoid self-incrimination, no right to be secure in your private papers... you MUST report and it must be accurate and volunteer information on any crime you may have committed if you gained a single dollar via it.

You are not free, your children are not free, and you have none of the rights any of the founders would have considered the basis of being a free man... you are a chattel slave and as chattel so are your children.

She's not shy about making her case, and frankly, I see where she's coming from.

I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but the Jug is my favorite of all WWII fighters.


Amusing History

Ships of Note: PC-815


It chased a known magnetic anomaly.

Sounds suspicious. I’m guessing it was quickly defeated?

After a fierce battle lasting 68 hours, during which PC-815 dropped a mere 37 depth charges and called in reinforcement from two airships and four other surface vessels, the dangerous anomaly was declared neutralised. Its commander claimed one definite kill and one probable.

Like making stuff up, did he?

The commander was one L. Ron Hubbard. Yes, that one.

Believe it or not, there's more.


I'm Surprised They Didn't Call In Geraldo Rivera For The Reveal

A muddy reveal for mysterious West Point time capsule from 1820s

Staff and students at West Point, the famed US military academy, gathered on Monday for what was supposed to be a historic moment: the opening of a mysterious 1820s time capsule, discovered months ago at the base of a campus monument.

The event was live-streamed, starting with pre-recorded remarks from academy historian Jennifer Voigtschild, inviting the audience to "literally uncover a piece of West Point history". Cadets were filmed offering their own predictions for what was inside the nearly 200-year-old lead box: an American flag, boots, or maybe a class ring.

Read to find out the rest. So maybe it wasn't a time capsule. What was it then? We need to get the bridge guy on this mystery, stat!


Clickbait

Can We Guess Which Region Of The U.S. You’re From?

Well? Can they? It thought I was from the Midwest, so that's not encouraging.
