Willy didn't know much, but he knew that income inequality had grown to unsustainable levels. The solution? Sink every goddamn yacht he could find

Listening to NPR normalize the ravings of a demented psycho makes me physically ill.

Hey @pioneerpress.bsky.social, the folks in this pic are my neighbors. I built the red bike in the foreground and gave it to my neighbor's grandson. Shame on you for using them to illustrate another idiotic tirade against the #SummitAve bike trail.

You're walking through the desert when you find Mitch McConnell lying on his back, unable to turn over. You're not helping him. Why is that?

given recent events, starship troopers on the fourth of july is wonderful programming

Six unelected people effectively rule by decree. How is that different from tyranny?

Shrimp Escapes Culver's Basket And Swims Hundreds Of Miles Back To Her Baby. It is wrong and immoral to hold beings of self awareness captive if they have committed no crimes.

Zuckerberg had the website that literally everybody used, practically a replacement for the entire damn Internet for half of everybody, and managed to make it so bad people fled in droves and now his entire business plan is "be the third or fourth guy to do anything and hope it works out somehow"

Steve Jobs predicted cities would be designed around this device, which was "as big a deal as the PC." Jeff Bezos called it "one of the most famous and anticipated product introductions of all time." don't let our tech lords fool you into believing they can predict the future.

need more of this exact thing. stupid clankers absolutely eating shit or spazzing out

Trump didn't hire a pro to do the pool He hired his loser friend with a massively insane hiked price. Now, he wants to blame vandals and our bang-up media are going along with it? Just stop. We have better things to do than clean up a grifting pedophile's hot mess.

Some people will say this REI ad was AI generated. I choose to believe that they have finally embraced the power of “reach around bars,” and acknowledged the bourgeois redundancy of having two pedals.

OK we can add "ripping out a state of the art filtration system for the reflecting pool because Obama installed it" to the list of things Trump has done out of absolute bitter jealousy of the first Black president.

When a news story includes claims by Trump that are unverified, it should run with a logo reading, ”He’s probably lying.”

And the heroic park police are just like “orders are orders.”

Um, have you *met* him?

This is genocidal rhetoric. Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir declared: "For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep." "All of Lebanon must burn." A senior member of Netanyahu's government is openly calling for collective punishment.

🚨 BREAKING: Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, citing what it calls U.S. failure to uphold the “end-of-war agreement,” Israel’s continued strikes in southern Lebanon, and Israel’s refusal to withdraw from the area. 1/

It’s like that time I made braised green beans and mistook the cayenne for paprika.

Maybe it’s because I’m of Swiss/Scotch-Irish heritage, but dammit, Bill’s Garden, the spice in your fried rice is not “light.” Cripes.

I only just figured out that Chase Kolpath is supposed to be neurodivergent. I apologize for every bad thing I said.

Some Republicans will try to distance themselves from Trump as the midterms near. Don't let them get away with it. They've enabled his cruelty, incompetence and corruption. And if they can con enough people in the midterms, they'll go back in lockstep w/ him afterward. Vote against all Republicans.

I did not anticipate the government mobilizing the National Guard to protect the strategic paramecium stockpile currently being developed in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool when I wrote about it earlier, but I probably should have. defector.com/promises-mad...

#OnThisDay June 20 1970: Dave Kunst, his brother John, and their mule "Willie Makeit" set out from Waseca, Minnesota, on an around the world journey on foot. After John is killed by bandits in Afghanistan, Dave completes the trip in 1974, the first verified circumnavigation of the globe on foot.

Facts matter

The Luddites were right and just in their time, just as those who question corporate America's rush to force so-called "AI" into every facet of our lives today are right.

Another day and another hour that @kstptv.bsky.social gets its facts completely wrong. The most ridiculous "news" outlet in Minnesota, and that's saying something.

It is endlessly astonishing to me that anyone is ever surprised by Donald Trump. There has never been a more transparent human being in all of history. Everything you need to know about him is right on the surface. You can understand him entirely, without remainder, with five minutes of exposure.

The most arrogant and also most poorly informed vice president in modern history.

There he goes, relating to the common man again...

crushing the pernicious mirage of space colonization, "the enoblement of the frontier" as it is succinctly put here, is a load-bearing element of the battle against techno-fascism

somehow achieving a trillion dollar net worth hasn't left our boy feeling any more secure or beloved

I call Elon Musk a Nazi because he's an avowed white supremacist who undermines democracies, incites pogroms, targets minorities, intentionally caused the death of >750,000 people (so far) while laughing about it ("feeding USAID into the wood chipper"), and did a Sieg Heil at Trump's inauguration.
