What's the coolest thing you saw/bought at the art fair? (midwest.social)
 

I only got to walk half of it due to a fussy kid, so I'm curious what I missed.

For me, it was the fireflies guy. Mostly because I've taken some similar pictures and apparently I can sell them for lots of money.

Only if you're white.

Once you're north of Saint John's, you start seeing a lot of "fuck Biden" signs. My minority friends say racism is rampant up there, even in TC. I'm not surprised other forms of intolerance exist as well.

In my opinion, these people didn't try to overthrow a democracy. If you ask them, they were trying to preserve it, and they are convincing enough that I believe that they believe in what they're saying.

The assholes that riled them up under false pretense are the ones that should be held most accountable in my opinion.

Michigan funneled $2B into luring big business. Here’s where it went. (www.mlive.com)
 

Our tax dollars at work.

On one hand, I get it. Michigan is falling behind in some areas, and attracting the next type of business is all the more important since we can't just rely on auto manufacturers to keep us afloat.

But on the other hand, am I the only one irritated that my tax dollars are basically being handed out to the rich so that they can exploit/ruin more of our natural resources? I'd love to see more of this money going to small startups and less to China-backed billion-dollar companies pitting states against each other in a race to the bottom.

Aww, I'm sad it's no longer in Chelsea. Much easier to get in and out there.

Michigan guy here. Been a programmer all my life, but I'm dabbling in photography too these days.

I also create games for fun, so there's officially a crowd of us now.
