Me awaiting the feedback on my gym budget:

"This Whole Thing Smacks Of Gondor," i holler as i overturn my uncle's funeral pyre and turn the 4th Age of Man into the 4th Age of Shit

accusing me of parasocial whatever when you’re the one apparently name-searching YouTubers and trying to start shit on a weeks-old post sure is something, buddy

Bari Weiss, CBS News, 1965 - New art in @jewishcurrents.bsky.social jewishcurrents.org/bari-weiss-c...

saw an acquaintance who lives out in the suburbs repost a TikTok from someone who opened with “well I heard from someone who goes there once a week to check on people, and there wasn’t a significant amount of drug dealing or use there!” Oh, okay, you heard from someone who’s there 4x a month!

The “well actually” shit about Floyd absolutely relies on people not having watched the trial. I listened to that whole fucking thing as it went on and all the NeW EvIDeNce raised by these hacks is stuff already thoroughly picked apart by the prosecution

You know, it’s just great that the big strong mayor solved the drug dealing problem in my neighborhood by fencing off their main area. They have now moved a whole THREE BLOCKS down and are bothering the frazzled teenage employees at the KFC and clogging up the bike trail. Genius

I have so much respect for Greta Thunberg because she easily could have coasted on speaking gigs and Davos appearances for the rest of her life

Chain chain CHAIN

it's pretty wild to be doing "stop being racist to my computer friend" discourse when the forces of Actual Racism are totally ascendant in government and inventing new ways to arrest people for their skin color every day

I'm at the ER with him now cause he seems weaker and is refusing food. Anything helps, thank you all ❤️

1st guy inventing Egyptian mythology: Okay so we're all set on the hawk dude, clearly he's our good guy 2nd guy: totally, totally 1st guy: so what animal do you think communicates evil? what just screams "desolation, chaos, and fratricide" to you? 2nd guy: aardvark 1st guy: nailed it

started a DA2 playthrough yesterday when I was sick as a dog. Oh poor Marian, you’re going to go through it, and then your boyfriend’s going to do 9/11

I how ubiquitous these "explain the ending" TV and movie articles now. It used to be reserved for like Lynchian stuff and now it's like "The ending of Avengers 12: The Butler Did It... explained."

If only there had been signs for years

everyone else re: EA buyout: “oh no Mass Effect and Dragon Age 😞 “ me: “well now I’m DEFINITELY never getting Jade Empire 2 😡 “

I genuinely thought this was about Fritos and corn syrup at first

This man went to my college (few years before me, we never met) and I guess he’s joining at least a few other alumni on the “hippie college to bizarre unlikeable vaguely right wing freak” train

Some chainmail stuff I’ve done recently

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, is this you

Last night guy got on the bus clearly high/drunk and was arguing with the driver, eventually this escalated into dude reaching into his backpack and the driver yelling “OH YOU’VE GOT A GUN, BITCH? THEN PULL IT OUT!” 1st thought: lol 2nd thought: if I die three blocks from home I’ll be so mad

I hate on Goodreads a lot but Reddit book reviews can be equally dire (also discovering OP’s post history in AI slop subreddits wasn’t totally shocking)

No words. I believed in Ryan. We moved to Oklahoma because he promised that my awful sons Enigmus Rex and Pance would be given handguns in kindergarten and then not be given any instruction on how to use them safely. I bought a shitty gray house in Tulsa because he promised they wouldn't be woke.

Having a Siamese cat has made me really indifferent to screaming children in public. Like oh okay that’s annoying, but they’ll tire out eventually. Maybe feed them some mashed up food paste.

People focus on how dangerous she is, and that’s not wrong, but Chaya Raichik truly is one of the dumbest bitches alive

More beers. @pierogibeast.bsky.social and I (at an undisclosed location for my safety?) have the beers and talk about things we hope don't get us hunted.

just saw “the closure of Palmer’s Bar is an example of the CREEPING ISLAMIZATION of Minneapolis” and while I’m sure the shrinking patron base affected things, I think it was the hundreds of thousands of dollars a former employee stole from them that was the bigger factor

He performs any kind of empathy like a grandparent listening to a seven-year-old talk about Naruto

Just took the bus from the 1-35/Lake station for the first time since the shooting and while the station and surrounding area are quiet, looks like all the activity moved like 1-2 blocks away. As pretty much everyone who’s seen this before could have predicted

If your response to “my kid got stuck with a used needle outside and that was stressful, and that’s why we need a better social safety net and resources for struggling addicts” is “so you don’t want your kid to see homeless people, KAREN?!” you should perhaps try not reading everything in bad faith

if i wrote fantasy novels you'd never see a single fucking oat cake. steak and ale, sure. hearty stews, naturally. and lots of green vegetables, don't get me wrong! but nobody'd be voluntarily eating a god damn oat cake

I'm going to send Alaa $20 and do a short thread of posts of hers that I think are worth reading about what is going on in Gaza right now. tinyurl.com/3sem5b4p

Was trying to remember why I blocked the person whining about that sign and turns out it was because of a days-long meltdown that started with a weird dismissal of the role of antisemitism in the Nazi’s rise to power and ended with screaming about how Eastern Europeans are inbred fascists

As a Minneapolis resident there’s plenty I want to say here that would get my account nuked. What I WILL say is that it’s strange to see “well Floyd OD’d actually” from someone who obviously substituted drug use for a personality for years

I recently finished a reread of The Locked Tomb and finally understood a lot of what sailed right over my head on first read. (One caveat: I do enjoy these books but your enjoyment will depend on your tolerance for terminally online humor)

Just got this ad on Instagram and boy, nothing makes me want to buy lingerie more than two lovely women crammed into underwear that does not fit their (normal sized) boobs

Genius boy mayor and MNDOT solve issue of drug trade plaguing area by…putting up a fence that will ensure drug activity/theft/fights will move a few blocks over already seen some dealers setting up shop elsewhere in the neighborhood, so

For me to give a shitty tip to, for instance, a server, you are gonna really have to go for it. I’m not talking about bad or slow service or mistakes, I mean you will have to maliciously stab me in the thigh intentionally for no reason while saying “I don’t care, my dads a lawyer.”

Just looked at a local account I muted and it’s like 30% sneering at Will Stancil screenshots so I think I did the right thing there guy’s annoying, but you could also not engage with anything he says because he’s not in a position of power. You are screaming at a hot dog you found on the ground

love when I see an assertive statement start with “as someone who regularly travels though [my neighborhood]” and end with a tailspin of bullshit “there was no drug dealing in that location!” Yeah you’re fucking lying! Sorry!

these terms are right below use of sassy gifs on my list of reasons to ignore a Goodreads review

Face too big.

Schumer and Jeffries, two men for no seasons whatsoever

Really wish people would stop spreading misinformation about the recent mass shootings here, it’s horrifying enough without you writing fiction about it “Eight homeless people were murdered” no one has died yet, three people were seriously hurt though. Again: bad enough without making shit up

I was pretty pleasantly surprised to see this tbh, I hadn’t kept up with this band since the early 2000s and as a baby high school leftist I wrote them off after they put out this shirt (to be clear, this seems to be very much no longer where they are at politically and hasn’t been for a while)

city leadership: “were you expecting a solution that wasn’t fencing off the area entirely and simply moving drug users and their attendant issues somewhere else nearby? lol, fuck you”

If I’ve had a day like the one I just had and you’re blasting your shitty fucking music on a Bluetooth speaker on my bus I should get to kill you with a hammer
