This is great. 💜 www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

Really curious why they're using such a small font for scoreboard trivia. Has there been trivia that takes up that whole space in that font? Seems unlikely . . .

Got to get a multiple screen set up going here so I could have the Twins and Saints games on and keep on with my Person of Interest rewatch. That wouldn't be excessive, would it? (Eh . . . ) (Twins game on, working on getting caught up on downloading fanworks from AO3, but I should probably eat.)

It is 8 p.m. in Minnesota on a Friday night. Have you had an evening meal yet? Best get on that (ope, I should do that). Remember to take any meds you need and drink plenty of water. Have some fun tonight, whatever that looks like for you. Twins & Saints are both playing tonight, let's go. ⚾

It's Friday, start manifesting. If we all think about it really hard, maybe . . . 🕯️

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

How the hell is it after 7 p.m. already? Oh right, I didn't get up until close to noon today. Yesterday up before 8 and the day seemed ridiculously long. Today, not so much. Weird. I should probably figure out supper. Ugh.

Look at these fucking HOOLIGANS! Fuck ICE, y'all. Be safe.

A powerful night for a @stpaulsaints.bsky.social game.

Continuing my Person of Interest rewatch and I'm into season 2 now and when John says he's happy I'm like "Oh no" and "we're in for it now." I'm sure everything will be fine! (Okay, I know exactly how they won't be fine and I'm looking forward to it, much as it sucks for some characters.)

Guess I am hearing some hail. Ugh.

Nickel sized hail in the Twin Cities maybe. (Certainly have heard thunder rumbling.)

Looking at the weather like WTF because even for April in Minnesota this is wild. Ooh, think I’m hearing thunder now? It was in the 70s yesterday and warm enough in my house I ran a fan.

We'll welcome Amy Grant to the store for a performance and signing on Saturday, May 2nd! Her set is free but to meet Amy and get her new release signed, you'll need to pre-order "The Me That Remains" CD or vinyl from us to get a signing line pass. electricfetus.com/NewsItem/11563

It is a little after 1 p.m. in Minnesota on Friday. Have you had lunch yet? Remember to eat! Also drink plenty of water (not just coffee or pop). Take any meds you need. Take breaks. If there's some little thing you've been putting off—do the thing! You'll feel better once you get it done.

This is your accessibility testing reminder, buttons need accessible text! I don't care if it is actual button text, alt text, aria, or hell even sr-only. I just need to know what your button will do BEFORE I press it.

Incredible last words

I live in İstanbul for a while and every movie has an intermission. Always. It’s so great. I don’t know why the rest of the world doesn’t do it.

guys, this is how you lose the time war

Obviously I'm entering my John Reese era. If only a reclusive billionaire would give me a mission. And a really sweet apartment.

My neighbour in our local deli this morning (to me): How are you doing? Woman next to us: Now that's a big question. My neighbour: It is. Woman: Sorry? Me: Oh, we thought you were talking to us. Man the woman is with: Oh no darling, I just asked her which bagel she wanted.

We carry signed copies of Forgetting, Josh Hickman's account of being a caregiver for a parent with dementia. I loved this book. We stocked it once before; folks on here who bought it can confirm that it's excellent. mzs.press/SIGNED-Forge...

A friend pointed out a concept car, or perhaps I should say concept van, from 1989: The Plymouth Voyager 3. The front detaches from the body, taking one of the engines with it, for trips with a subset of the passengers. I like it, but that's because it reminds me of two cars I truly loved. 1/3

Thread. 💕 Thanks for helping us send out 1.5 million whistles.

Something someone said reminded me of that time a friend asked me to describe LOST to him as he was working on a puzzle for WIRED & J.J. Abrams and uh, imagine me at a party trying to describe/explain LOST to someone unfamiliar with the show. Probably was hilarious. www.wired.com/2010/02/lost...

We’re at a point where we need to get back to the basics of film and television and toss away the bells, whistles and bright shiny lights of empty style and computer effects. And we need to let the people who know how to do this take over again.

A hot for mid-April day and I had no ice cream and have no ice cream in the house. Once again, poor planning on my part.

hey buddies

#youarebeingwatched — and monetized.

Some comments on this have me thinking some folks have never heard of "competence porn" while others of us are thinking "huh, I guess it's now a pretty widely known thing." (I've talked about competence porn a lot over the years as it is totally my jam.) Anyway, great profile.

They should invent a stage of grief that doesn't suck ass

A federal audit has shown that Minnesota’s Medicaid fraud control unit punches above its weight and recommended adding more staff in order to prosecute more fraud. MN House Republicans are arguing against prosecuting more fraud for Minnesotans because they hate the current AG. Party over the people.

Dear Strib: Tired of Minneapolis City Hall Drama? Focus on Something Else. By, well, me. racketmn.com/dear-strib-t...

Media reporter emeritus @dbrauer.net says the Star Tribune's obsession with a supposedly dysfunctional Minneapolis City Council overplays minor issues, lets the mayor off the hook, and obscures what the city has accomplished.

When a TV show has recurring bits of theme music and you watch a lot of episodes and then you keep hearing that music in your head. (Currently playing in my head: the music that plays during most fight sequences on Person of Interest.) (Darn you, Ramin Djawadi.)

Oh right, that siren should've reminded me to have supper not muck about on Bluesky now that it is finally usable again. This thing where I keep having to figure out things to eat is annoying.

Using "hide post for me" for every post with a picture of that "meal" being served to troops and whatnot.

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

Finding awoos from people I follow and adding them to the Ope list if they weren't on it though given my dodgy memory I was uncertain of a lot of them. Ope! Kind of hard to search this place for awoos in general given how many different ways we spell them. Hmm.

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.

@atlasboy97.bsky.social In response to your awoo . . . Added you to the list. (Thread has more details.)

I guess you need to be prepared for a Ballroom Blitz.

awooo, fuckers 2: siren boogaloo.
