So I watched Death By Lightning fairly recently (recommend), which led me to the Wikipedia page of Roscoe Conkling, and, not a spoiler for the series, but he DIED walking from Wall Street to Union Square during the Great Blizzard of 1888. Be careful New York! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roscoe_...

How about one last thread of awesome Winter Olympics photos? All via Getty Images. Photogs will be ID'd in each post. Top left: Alex Pantling Top right: Cameron Spencer Bottom left: Michael Steele Botom right: Patrick Smith (wow)

A reminder that the USA Curling teams rock

no cheating, your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist I love Lucas😂 I wonder where he is now... They should remake The Big Chill with the cast of Empire Records

there's curling on tonight www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_6A...

Was the pinkeye the end of Bob Costas at the Olympics?

The I LOVE MESS Olympics

Omg, Jacob is is so desperate 😫

Last night my state Rep. @aishagomez.bsky.social delivered a guy-wrenching tribute to Minnesota's fight against federal oppression. It's a must-watch but this was my favorite part: They call us paid protestors because they can't conceive that we love our neighbors enough to stand up for them.

Spectacular

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

Alysa Liu - a brief thread

Watched figure skating all day and have no regrets

Excusa, no alarmi, but I’ve done a tumble and I remain flat like a Roman pizza

Brandi Carlile will stream Minneapolis concert as legal aid fundraiser. More: https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-lifestyle/brandi-carlile-will-stream-minneapolis-concert-as-legal-aid-fundraiser

Ok FINE, I will get up early to watch some Skimo.

Olympics Dog was chasing the motorized camera they have to capture the competitors at the finish line, then decided to chase some competitors instead

put this dog in the closing ceremonies immediately

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

Nazgul, new Olympic legend.

the city of minneapolis is spending money on clear channel billboards right now???

you: don’t come in here with that bullshit me: what you mean? you: you know exactly what i mean me:

trying to see if this loops perfectly on bsky

*Minneapolis in shambles* Me: I think making the city turn a decommissioned ice rink into a curling rink could fix 5% of our problems

Self-Portrait (rotated), potential sketch for The Creation of Adam, by Michelangelo, late 15th//early 16th c

the same CEOs who put out a nothing statement instead of actually standing up to ICE in any meaningful way? they don’t get to take a victory lap herev

Please, Mr. Kennedy

“You ever stop to think how much more smoothly Minneapolis politics would function if Jacob Frey could be just like 15% less of a dick?”

The numbers do speak for themselves. In fact, our neighbors know this because they feel it on the ground. They expect us to do more. How about you stop telling us behind closed doors that we shouldn’t fund immigrant legal assistance, rental assistance, or support for our small businesses!

Favorite Winter Olympics themed movies

Please, Mr. Kennedy Uh oh! Oh no! youtu.be/qkoZi3TfctU?...

When they say "courts are the firewall" it means we can count on personal injury law firms to put up so many billboards asking if you've been injured in a crash intentionally caused by federal agents. alexandriainjuryattorney.com/blog/car-acc...

do YOU have any experience in art, social, organizing, fundraising, comms, graphic design, & want to help us try to raise an insane amount of money to keep immigrant families in MN housed? I am looking for folks who would want to throw down. having a meeting monday evening. DM me if you're in.

CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! (I never post Olympic videos bc the IOC will hunt you down but I am taking that risk so that you can hear the Canadian curling cursing)

🤯

It’s getting spicy between Canada and Sweden. Earlier in the game Sweden pretty furious about Canada double touching the rock after release. Asked the officials to watch for it. And then Canada asked the officials to watch Sweden’s release. Gamesmanship to be sure.

this is my movie idea so no one take it!!

If you like the biathlon and drama, might I suggest The Last King (2016)? There are cross-country ski chase scenes, it's so cool #olympics #MilanCortina #WinterOlympics youtu.be/kCZajozobwU?...

The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

THE OLYMPICS OF BIATHLON MESS CONTINUES GOLD MEDAL FOR THE WOMAN WHO STOLE HER TEAMMATE'S CREDIT CARDS

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

You know the old saying: Catch *one* ICE employee in an underage sex trafficking sting, shame on you. Catch TWO ICE employees in an underage sex trafficking sting, shame on you again you fucking psycho collection of lunatic underage sex traffickers.

Finding out I could have been a bush during the Superbowl, because I'm 5'7 and that was apparently the search criteria

🚨🥇 My Day 3 Olympics viewing guide! 💥 Lighter schedule Monday 💥 5 medal events 💥 USA mixed doubles curling semifinal

Watch as a massive crack forms in the ice on Lake Erie. An impressive view captured by GOES-19 earlier on Sunday.
