Not now, mysterious large steel cylinder suddenly emerging from the ground in Japan! www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

Oh dear

Shocking how a dude who named his company after the evil all-seeing eye thinks that women who think for themselves are the problem

This! Now do books. Sometimes all I want is thoughtless entertainment, but that fun is nothing compared to immersing myself in narrative and figuring it out on my own.

"It is not irrational for a legislature to encourage citizens to appreciate their sex and not become disdainful of their sex by refusing to fund experimental procedures that may have the opposite effect," which is in the *ruling*, is a position that has nothing to do with any law

My wife is just over 40 and grew up with severe food scarcity. When we go grocery shopping, she can tell me a very close estimate of the cost of what's in our cart without even thinking about it. That's a skill I never learned because I never had to. It's a skill I wish I had.

I wrote a novella where the empire is denied, obstructed from getting the resource it's built on. Some said it wasn't realistic. Look what's happening. It's also a historical fact for many revolutionaries to be turned into a symbol to later be killed abruptly leaving one feeling upset/ shocked. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Loooooook what just arrived! It's a real book, you guys!!! (ebooks are real books too, I love ebooks, but literally nothing beats holding the paper book in your hands)

The sermon “Women are inherently worth less than men” Yes, it was the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, how did you know

I think people believe the point of progressive politics is to try to convince malicious, bad-faith bigots to not be violent, instead of defanging their movements and making them politically irrelevant. It's not about "saving the souls of the lost". It's about making sure their harm is mitigated.

I can't compete with this.

Describe your plot in five words or less - if you dare. “Astronomer wants her sister back.”

Nellie Bowles can eat my entire ass.

Imagine if your city did urban transformations like this. The 18th arrondissement of Paris, before and after, 2020 to 2024. Think about how that neighbourhood would feel after this change. How YOUR neighbourhood would feel. It can happen. Just takes vision & leadership. HT @emmanuelspv.bsky.social

There are so many amazing stories by super talented people out there to make shows out of but noooooo we want to regurgitate the same four shitty stories with shitty people in charge. It's so exhausting.

This is the article that (ugh) Claude AI summary going around is based on. Cite your sources, people. Also, don’t use the hallucination machine to summarize news.

Please note that this article summary has a Claude AI butthole logo in the bottom left and no one is posting or even finding the original article. I also hate AI and this particular application of it, but until this source is properly cited I’m giving it the side eye.

9 copies of Monday’s Strib was purchased for my office for Very Specific Reasons*, but when I got to Variety section I knew I had to share the front page with @theferocity.bsky.social:

My paternal grandfather was a farmer and factory worker (paper mill in Wisconsin’s Fox Valley). My maternal grandfather was a factory overseer in the tiniest of towns.

Fucking THIS

I rarely knit with black yarn but I love the contrast! 🖤🌼 #whimsical #cottagecore #frog #handmadewithlove #cozy

I’m trying, @orcspiration.bsky.social

Hey, you. Yes, you. Stop looking over your shoulder. You on your phone there. You can't fix anything right now by rubbernecking the cascading disaster. Go for a walk. Clean your kitchen. Stay fresh. Give some money to DWB if you have it to give. They're gonna need it.

Do it now. Yes, you can leave a message. Yes, call the DC offices. Script here again.

Speaking of Minneapolis small publisher Queen of Swords Press, please consider for Series: The Astreiant Series by Melissa Scott & Lisa A. Barnett Queen of Swords Press 2025 Example: Point of Hearts

So … this side thinks horses are free now? Not that carriage horses were treated well. But unemployed horses aren’t exactly roaming free on the American prairie, my dude.

Good lord I wish I’d started training in martial arts at the age of four. I’d be incredible at the age I am now.

I know we're all tired. But this BS will kill people.

the flower bar, owned by GOP donor andrea corbin, will opening a second location in the north loop with an expanded footprint including a gelato and coffee bar, and hopefully without a hose hook up www.bizjournals.com/twincities/n...

"omg they're snitching on their neighbors and students to get them caught by ICE they're the gestapo" STARES IN BLACK AMERICAN.........

The laugh-scream I just scrumpt I live in South Mpls, and one of our household mottos is “never trust a Frey”

taking time off from a flu-sick kiddo for a fun announcement

Heavy relieved sigh

Happiness is finally FINALLY getting a piece of writing advice moved from your brain into your very soul

My prayers have been answered

The theme of this season appears to be people failed by the system, and damn are they selling it. They’re showing those holes and making them hurt.

Another day in which I loathe capitalism. AKA a day ending in Y

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far. In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them." That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

Sir. Your ability to state something in public does not make it true.

Why does Jacob Elordi look basically correct (trousers are a bit too loose but otherwise ok) and Margot Robbie looks like Wuthering Heights Barbie That skirt shines like vinyl

for non-Minnesotans: a Minnesota regiment captured the 28th Virginia Infantry's battle flag during the Civil War. Periodically Virginia asks for it back, and Minnesota always says no lmaooo

This is because a statistical model of word frequency is not a useful tool for modeling the complex interactions of the human body

If you haven’t already, delete your TikTok

While this absolutely sucks, we are going to see a lot more places implementing universal global age verification over this next year, because the number of states and countries legally requiring it has gotten to the point no one can keep up anymore.

Do you want an auditor who believes schools are providing litter boxes for furry kids??

I was just talking about this with my wife yesterday. I push myself every day to avoid categorizing people. It’s not easy. We’re wired to put people in boxes so we don’t have to examine all the nuance. It’s exhausting work, and too many people see it as too much work.

#Minneapolis #Minnesota #Signalboost of the Day Some of our neighbors are working to feed, get vet care for and fosters for as many of the pets who’ve lost their humans to ICE kidnappings or whose humans can’t work right now as they can and they need some ❤️. www.spotfund.com/story/a00a02...
