The shadow docket expose reveals that, despite his pretensions, John Roberts is the same intellectual coward as the rest of MAGA. They can’t win arguments, so all they do is avoid. An analysis. www.salon.com/2026/04/22/j...

“Even if the actual emissions from these power plants end up being half of the emissions numbers on the permits, they still could create more greenhouse gas emissions than the country of Norway emitted in 2024.”

There are billboards in SF that say “stop hiring humans“ Today in the Bell Riots are coming news

Read this whole thread. Damn, Norm. Thank you.

So hey that's eugenics

we’re just $1700 away from this goal! www.paypal.com/pool/9owqDRD...

gonna pitch an airport business book called Human-Centered Work Culture; its tenets will include things like "remember that the workers are human beings who need some non-meeting time to actually get work done" and "people need to go to the bathroom" the book will fail

A standing room only crowd at the Nobles County Government Center applauded the 3-2 vote, which will, for now, prevent any data centers from being developed in the southwestern Minnesota county.

question: a family I know paid rent for their immigrant neighbor as he was out of work for during the ICE surge. he still needs help. he is a contractor. the family needs an urgent bathroom repair and can't afford his rent this month. BUT he has the skills to do it. could we crowdfund this?

I need someone in Minneapolis to apply for this!!!

Reminds me of this post: AI is so hyped up that it's reached many people who have been entirely unaware of the world of automation over the past 40-50 years, and so they think it's something entirely brand new that needs LLMs.

“I used AI to combine the data from two excel lists and then send emails to people who were on one list but not another. Saved me so much time.” My brother in academia, you just fucking discovered mail merge. Welcome to early nineties computing.

haha whaaaaaaat From “Who says this is a modern disorder? The early history of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder” pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

If you see this, post something orange from your gallery.

Another case for avoiding AI at all costs...

Happy #BreadDay to all who celebrate! 🏺 #OnThisDay - 19 April - someone in #Pompeii felt so excited that they just had to record that: "XIII K(alendas) Maias panem feci" (CIL IV 8972) 'On April 19, I made bread' Wonder how it turned out? 🤔 Image: National Archaeological Museum, Naples (84596)

Life being hard to you isn’t necessarily an excuse to close yourself off when you have the ability to help others. That’s trauma preventing you from realizing you the best person to help.

A new post acuity.design/ai-and-facil... based upon one session at #Facilitate2026 yesterday about #AI and the future of #facilitation. What I’m trying to present is a more positive view on the value of human facilitation and where there are gaps that AI cannot and should not be deployed.

In honor of Tim Curry’s 80th birthday today, here is one of the queerest scenes I’ve ever seen, accompanied by Whoopi Goldberg (National Lampoon’s Loaded Weapon 1, 1993).

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

I finally read the CNN rape academy story. We really DO need to flip the shame equation to those who need domination to get off, rather than letting shame fall on those who are drugged & raped. I think the patriarchal evangelical culture supports this & other evils through bad theology.

This was decided by one Republican who hasn’t been brainwashed by anti-trans propaganda

By homoerotic I mean obviously the creature is Victor and Harlander’s baby. This movie could be called “a tale of two fathers”. It was long... but it was good.

Now what about all these providers and hospital systems that obeyed in advance?! Cowards

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

ngl I keep thinking that this stuff happened in Mesopotamia thousands of years ago. all the time. Like maybe not every ruler/reign was like this but every once in a generation you get shit like this.

Holy crap I’m watching del Torro’s Frankenstein and holy shit SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY ART HOMOEROTICISM

Yet another study showing that work requirements don't increase employment and instead serve to kick people off their desperately needed assistance. missouriindependent.com/2026/04/10/r...

It will never stop pissing me off how much trump is going to walk away from this presidency as a “real” billionaire in a way he never was before, and it is going to be solely because of the public office

The fight to save the BWCA now moves to Minnesota. Take 2 min: Tell MN DNR to cancel Twin Metals leases. Call MN legislators to oppose sulfide mining upstream. Here's the details. www.friends-bwca.org/tell-mn-...

You're seeing how the US right wing and center commentariat are downplaying the negative effects of Orban's reign and this is a preview of how they will approach Trump's regime.

Friendly reminder. 🩵💙

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

Environmental advocates and opponents of a proposed mine near the Boundary Waters vowed to continue fighting after the U.S. Senate voted on to repeal a mining ban near the protected wilderness.

Congress overturns ban on mining near the Boundary Waters minnesotareformer.com/2026/04/15/c...

💔

God fucking dammit. The Boundary Waters National Park is now open for mining on its borders. God fucking dammit. May everyone who voted for this have sulphur contaminate their water.

if you're also in the "too many fires, not enough oxygen" camp my proposed theme song is "I'm looking for a gas mask baby, a gas mask... yeah yeah yeah" to the tune of www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQL-...

I'm about to deliver my closing remarks in opposition to a measure that would allow toxic copper-nickel sulfide mining in the watershed of the Boundary Waters. Tune in.

TIL Bluesky has reginos.

Not only are the bulb flowers blooming, but the serviceberry bushes & rose bush from last season's planting both seem to have survived winter! Buds are budding!

There are currently about a dozen active threats to the continuation of gender affirming care - both for youth *and* adults - nationwide. None likely that would outright ban it, but many that could make it very difficult to access. Let's talk about it. 🧵 www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
