Ah yes, a Microsoft executive says AI will replace all our white collar jobs in 18 months. Dude should actually try using some of this shit.

Grifters gonna grift

Eldest daughter has speech tournaments every weekend for the next I don't know how many weeks. It involves a 7:30 a.m. drop-off at her high school, which is a few blocks from my office. Motivates me to get in and do tax returns on the weekends. Normally I'd be dreading the 7:30s!

And yet the city thinks a $3 million assistance program is going to make a dent in anything.

Since it seems like mutual aid is part of our lives now, some Costco tips: - Always just grab a flatbed. If you're not getting that much, spread it out and we boop it right on there. - For the love of god, don't pre-box stuff. - Group multiples clearly. We can key in the quantity and scan once

Mutual aid ask: my kids go to a bilingual school in Minneapolis that has been hit hard. The teachers are also, as you can imagine, going through it. I learned that a couple hundred could go a long way with replenishing supplies and resources that have been stretched thin. DM me for Venmo!

They have a website! A few names you might know. https://www.barrington220.org/our-district/alumni-association/notable-alumni

The Billy Strings cover of Cassidy is f'in incredible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLe4... h/t @mattpuczko.bsky.social for sending it to me last night when I was quite in the mood to watch and listen. 😆

I gotta say, I never really thought much about Minneapolis, but this kind of makes me want to move there. All sorts of places advertise in NYC to try to convince you to move, but I can’t think of a better sales pitch than “We defend our neighbors against fascists”.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Powderhorn Rent Fund. Unfortunately, Governor Walz has refused to enact an eviction moratorium, so we need the help of our community. gofund.me/335f2d840

If your parents say things like “China is going to eliminate The Stanley Cup” you need to have the hard conversation about elder care solutions

Pepsi ad with polar bears the best one so far.

nah, it's too fucking cold here for the outside agitators this time. the only one destroying property is ICE.

Ah yeah boomers on the signal chat falling for ai slop videos. 🤔

Friends: I could use help with one of the families I’ve been helping. Mom has already been deported to her home country (leaving kids behind here, who we have been helping) and she has nothing except the clothes on her back. Would you consider sending me a few bucks to assist? Venmo Lizzie-Breyer

The peer to peer model @ziibiing.com and others started organizing this week is incredible. Lots of families being helped. Keep it up!

my colleagues at @racketmn.com are raising funds for a local mom who needs help with rent. the total is $4,785—we’re trying to raise $4,000 as a four-person newsroom. i believe racket readers can do it this weekend!!! V: @em-cassel PP: @biketrouble please share widely and donate if you can! 💗✨

Curling Quad Box! Gold Zone is back!

I'm not soliciting venmo donations today and am instead highlighting a GoFundMe for a family sheltering in place in Minnesota right now with a NEWBORN BABY. They need about $2,000 more dollars. Can people get them there? www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-aid...

20% of the students at Justice Page Middle School in SW Minneapolis are attending remotely b/c they're terrified to leave their homes. Their families can't work & rent is past due. Parents at Justice Page are trying to raise 100k to cover the needs of 50+ families — can we raise 10k of it? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

People are reading this wrong. This is not a hipster who enjoys indie music, this is a homeschooler who got a little too into hardcore for a while before rededicating his life to Jesus and now he runs the board at a Calvinist church. There's a lot of overlap, but it's distinct.

reading the US State Department travel advisories to Burma and struck by how many of the factors cited in the "Do Not Travel" rating apply to Minnesota, USA

The NBA is so weird with this shit.

What, exactly, is a RandBall's Stu? Here, let me tell you.

The New York Times did this the right way. They basically outsourced it all to The Athletic when they bought it.

Please continue to observe, patrol, and support our immigrant neighbors. We still need the help of our neighbors. We cannot let our guards down as this is far from over. Jason Chavez 4/

Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.

They’re going after Giannis, aren’t they….

Ngl this looks pretty good. Pretty pretty good

any time we need anything for our office, it's our first stop. It's a great store.

i often forget this loser still has a platform somewhere. he's that incompetent and forgettable.

I hope the RR group lets Will back in. He has too much time to post

I was completely unaware of the 1991 Pet Shop Boys cover of U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name" until it was used in a recent episode of Industry. open.spotify.com/track/5bIifb...

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

From FB regarding Pizza Luce in Minnesota. I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.

"Do you have any advice you want to offer the rest of America for what we can do when our turn comes around?" "Yeah, be like Minnesotans. Just be strong, be supportive, and hang in there. People will help support you." #ComicSky #Comicbooks

This is fucking incredible.

They probably don't want to admit they have ways to intervene.

Fantastic sign, Minnesota

This is some really great coverage of @racketmn.com by a fellow independent news outlet in SF www.coyotemedia.org/how-racket-m...

The Boss has landed 🙃🤓

Quick Racket giveaway! We've got one extra ticket to the Tom Morello show at First Ave today. RT by 10 a.m. for a chance to win! The catch? The ticket is non-transferrable, so you'll have to meet Keith at the door around 11.

“In theater” In their own country. Not military. Unfuckinghinged

If you build it, they will come.

Oh, Blue Sky is such an echo chamber, say various people I've talked to about using this site. Yeah, what's your point?

Posted something on Facebook about Minneapolis, and of course, a couple of my friends from high school who are apparently MAGA chuds now spoke up. And guess what? We're not friends on Facebook anymore. I told them not to fucking post any of that shit and they don’t listen.
