Holy crap. I milled a dowel out of purple heart for a friend doing some guitar stuff, and dropped it in the mail December 8.
It just arrived in Grass Valley yesterday.

As someone who grew up reading Asimov's robot books, I never thought we'd be on a timeline where the First Law of Robotics would be:

ICE aggression Dan Lyke / comment 2
After the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good yesterday, it's easy to think that this is a reaction, but, no, it's apparently that ICE goons are just walking on to school property and threatening students and assaulting school staff: Minneapolis schools cancel classes after Border Patrol clash disrupts dismissal at Roosevelt
The move came after officials at Roosevelt High School said armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.
“The guy, I’m telling him like, ‘Please step off the school grounds,’ and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he’s trying to push me, and he knocked me down,” a school official, who spoke to MPR News on condition of anonymity said.

Not a laughing matter, at all, but they did miss a headline opportunity:
