Leni Reifenstahl called from hell to tell Trump she's available as a contractor on this project

Two nights ago, I told the ICE agents in front of Delaney Hall that this was the most violence I had experienced from them. They were surprised it wasn’t Minnesota, where many of them had also been deployed, or Chicago.

Trying to follow the Pattie Gonia lawsuit and ppl that say she was in the wrong bc she started producing clothing, a category Patagonia holds tm in. Buuuut idk yall as far as I can find she only ever sold reused shirts that were screenprinted over. Saying thats in competition w Patagonia is wild.

My markets went well last weekend so I just bought 4 books. Join me!

I wish more of our local fancy junk food restaurants had impossible or beyond burgers. I never ever want a house made black bean burger but I do really want a fake burger!

I wonder a lot about how businesses w a beloved unchanged retro vibe ever survive the years of just being dated and disliked before coming around to being cool and vintage. I don't know the answer, but I think this bldg needs to fully embrace their 80s cyberpunk aesthetic and rise from the ashes!

1,560 calories/day. That's how many calories were in the *starvation diet* fed to participants in the 1945 MN Starvation Experiment, which was undertaken to guide the Allied relief assistance to nazi concentration camp survivors. "meeting the calorie standard" is nazi talk.

These people are captives of a concentration camp fighting back against their heavily armed captors with only their bodies. Their heroism is extraordinary. Thank you to all of the protesters standing with and for them.

Every time Trump's failures catch up to him, he falls back on the same tired racism and bigotry. We all know who enables fraud and corruption. Just a few of Trump’s pardons: •Philip Esformes — $1.3B Medicare fraud • Lawrence Duran — $205M Medicare fraud • Jason Galanis — $60M fraud

When I see an AI summary, I avert my eyes like I walked in on my grandmother changing clothes.

Great op-ed from one my neighbors about the future of George Floyd Square and the People's Way.

No reason...

It concerns me how much of our agricultural output is non-food items. Biofuel and now fertilizer. And yet we hear screams whenever agricultural land is used for renewable energy production like solar arrays and wind turbines.

Ruining another casual conversation by saying that generative AI is incredibly unreliable even for that one little thing you like to use it for

As a huge state fair lover, none of the new food at the fair is ever worth waiting in line for more than ten minutes. Tom Thumb Donuts, however, are a transcendent experience and there's basically no line, ever.

Do you guys remember when O’Hara was sold to us as a progressive and was the candidate we got in response to Council’s—and everyone else’s—desire to ABOLISH MPD? DO YOU SEE NOW WHY ABOLITION IS THE ANSWER

I did two art markets this weekend and rode my e-bike w a Bikes At Work trailer to both of them! While it's a little slower getting the trailer loaded than a car, I save SO much time being able to pull the whole shebang up to a booth spot and not have to wait in the crush of cars during load in/out

From the @freepress.bsky.social that actually believes in the free press: Free Press Objects to Chairman Carr's 'Morally Repugnant' Proposal on TV Warning Labels for Transgender and Nonbinary Content www.freepress.net/news/free-pr...

I'll never get over Bari Weiss stealing the good name of Free Press, a wonderful left leaning media reform nonprofit that has done such important work. I'd love to go to a supper club run by them! Every time I see Bari's worthless rag mentioned I have a split second of confusion before intense anger

It’s wild to live in a big swimming pool they’re filling with concrete because they don’t want black people to have anything that’s pretending to be a country

theres this desperation to the way people talk about twitter and this site like ohh twitter has more engagement! more is happening over there! politics! like why do you need notifications so bad homie. go outside and talk to people. you are addicted to dopamine

Friends I have one piece of advice for you, and that is don't vend at an outdoor market in May with no tents unless you love being very tired.

I got a new hat! Courtesy @auntiefancy.bsky.social who is tabling at Strange Times Market at Dreamstate today! God's Favorite Faggot.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

I found a United Healthcare hat at the thrift store and I feel like it should get a Luigi joke stitched on it. But what?? Help!

Recently found some sample class of 2000 senior photos that we never actually ordered real prints of and I feel like the internet should see them. Particularly proud of the absurdity of my baby zinester self posing w a typewriter bc the photo company suggested we bring props (what a little rascal!)

I Love Boosters is out and it's pretty fucking perfect. If you love fashion and weird art and solidarity forever you'll love it. Boots Riley truly is the GOAT.

Tapping the sign

the Colbert cancellation is a labor issue, to my mind. Colbert’s show employed hundreds of union employees working nightly. Byron Allen’s non-union show costs CBS nothing (literal zero), and costs Allen very little as well since comics provide their own material for a nominal fee and exposure

I live on a half lot in a house built in 1918 and it was notably cheaper because of it's small lot. Which I still find strange bc we still have a front and back yard and a driveway (but no garage), so really it's just less land to take of which is great for me! Make this kind of building legal again

The way 87% of you have fallen hook line and sinker straight back into the depths of anti-fatness is not surprising but it is remarkable. Everyone has critical thinking except when it comes to fatphobia.

Hell yeah this fucking ROCKS

Hey Minneapolis, I've gone a bit bananas booking out the next month with events! Come see me and get some custom embroidery done on the spot!

So the charge is that she didn't seek co-payments for about half the claims made to the state, totaling $4.6m. I live a block from this daycare and I KNOW it was booked and busy. This DOES NOT sound like Feeding Our Future where ppl claimed sites w almost no activity/services happening.

Ok this is a great point that this is bad data that we can't generalize across populations.

How does Gen Z afford this? Just not eating enough? I have a very median income but rarely get delivery bc it feels like an absurd unnecessary cost. Is it just bc if yr over the age of 30 you remember delivery being a special treat only for pizza & chinese food so it's not a default option?

"My first wish is for one million more wishes!"

Last week I got to work on a costume project with a very talented young person who graduated from an ivy league college last year. I'm glad to say they seem to hate AI as much as I do and from their telling students were primarily using AI to write papers for classes they didn't really want to take

Trying to dig up an old file and randomly found a story I forgot I started writing a year ago about a pro dom who specializes in domming rich executives with climate guilt. I should try to keep working on it bc I still think it's a pretty great idea.

I don't cook my brain on Twitter, which turns you into a racist weirdo. I cook my brain on Bluesky, which turns you into a pedantic weirdo

Drivers should have to get re-licensed. Pop quizzes to renew or something. Like... Even just with changes like winning the Idaho stop, but also just... People need to be able to demonstrate that they understand the rules of the road. Much of it should be about bike & pedestrian interaction.

I love bikes and I hate cars. Cars are extremely dangerous to our society. But this shit is why I cannot accept or advocate for traffic cams. The surveillance state is not your friend. If we can pass laws to put speed governors on e-bikes we can just do the same for cars.

I just had a great idea that I could honor my Quaker ancestry with a quilt on-a-stick about Benjamin Lay, who lived an incredibly radical life and pushed Quakers into being abolitionists with his many pamphlets and acts of civil disobedience. But he died in PA in 1759 so a little too early :(

Ok so the 2026 Quilt On-A-Stick theme for the MN state fair is "250 Years of American History on a Stick!" It's the competition for mini-quilts. Please give me your ideas for more challenging history topics I could illustrate in quilt form w/out getting straight up banned from the fair.

I know this is racist rage bait, but does this guy know where Apple products are actually made?

Binged all the available episodes of Widow’s Bay last night, it‘s great and the mayor character feels SO much like Jacob Frey. It‘s very cathartic to imagine thats Frey, getting tortured by ghosts and spirits for thinking he knows how to improve the town better than his constituents.

Not nearly enough reporting about what's happening in Cuba, which the administration is attempting to squeeze, punish, and coerce into submission and violent self destruction. This is so much worse than the embargo. It's hideous. Haiti, Cuba, ongoing boat strike murders: anti-Black foreign policy

I recently watched The Cutting Edge for the first time since I was a kid and was absolutely floored by how beautiful it looked. It’s not a particularly good movie in terms of story but the craft of the production is top notch - lighting, sets, color grading, and costumes are all really good.

The most middle range or even bad movie shot on actual 35 mm film from the 1980s looks like a fucking Caravaggio masterpiece compared to any $200 mil Marvel movie digital slopfest
