Last April, controversial comedian Ralphie May found himself in a sticky situation after an old joke concerning Native Americans surfaced, resulting in the cancellation of a gig in Bemidji. As a result, shows in Fargo, Sioux Falls and Burnsville were postponed “out of respect for the Native American community and safety for all parties,” according to a statement issued by promoter Jade Presents.
Ralphie May made his apologies and is coming back to Fargo next month--but he’s…

There are two words to describe my Christmas shopping. Quick. Cheap. I like to kind of know what I want to buy, get into a store, find it quick, try to get the best price I can possibly find, and get out. The fact that I’m a bit of a bargain shopper occasionally means Cheap overcomes Quick.
I am lucky in that I only have to shop for my wife, Lillian. She buys all the rest of the presents for our families. And I don’t do Black Friday, generally…

The Transgender Day of Remembrance memorializes the trans individuals who have lost their lives due to violence this year. It is a day where we read their names and remember them—not how they died, but how they lived. This is also a day of visibility for the trans community and bears witness to the continued violence against them. This is a time for everyone who is trans, or those whose lives have been impacted by violence against trans people, to…

Thumb drives are an important part of your computer system. They can be used to transfer files from one machine to another, install software on another computer’s hard drive, and hundreds of other chores. They can also be used for nefarious purposes such as injecting viruses onto a hard drive. I will sometimes carry a thumb drive on a strap around my neck with my passwords on it. But of course, I am a card-carrying geek!
I have talked to many of my…
