When I’m on reddit, I try to go back to view the rest of the posts and it just reloads the post I’m on. I hit back a bunch more times and eventually it leaves reddit entirely and I just stop. I’d be on reddit a lot more if they stopped this behavior.

If you don’t make the knight leap into the air while making a horsey nose every time you move it you are, quite frankly, not playing the game properly.

If we were really worried about Communism, the way to prevent it would be to make sure everyone has access to safe housing, food, water, education and healthcare. Lack of those things creates a desire among the proletariat to take over government and industry.

not sure why so many people are saying they haven’t heard from him in weeks and he’s in the hospital not doing his job. in fact Michael McDowell raced on Sunday and finished 29th

This whole thread is amazing. I went to the SSPX church in St Cloud a couple times circa 2006 and it is what finally convinced me that Catholicism is false. Watching them blow up is hugely entertaining.

In case you don't follow UFC (don't blame you), alleged rapist Conor McGregor was top billing tonight and came out swinging like a crackhead, only to instantaneously blow out his knee on the very first kick, get punched in the face approximately 11 times, and lose immediately

The number of innocent lives lost around the world because of Lindsey Graham, one of the most bloodthirsty war hawks in Congress over the last few decades, is incalculable.

sometimes you get two bags of chips out of the vending machine I guess

Project Runway adds more negativity and unpleasantness every year, and every year their ratings go down. Meanwhile far and away the most successful reality show is the unrelentingly positive Bake Off.

There’s a video called the Shambling Corpse of Project Runway. It’s the most accurate account of how bad season 21 was. For season 22 they added Tyra Banks, who was the worst guest judge they ever had, and is never good at anything. Yet another reason to fire Josh D’Amaro

It is already time to fire Josh D‘Amaro. Disney was already the movie studio but doing a live action Moana in 2026 is a new low.

I drove 150 miles through Minnesota countryside last weekend and didn’t see a single trump sign. First time in probably ten years that’s been possible. Maybe the tariffs taking away all our farmer’s income and causing inflation made them see reason? I don’t know.

The stage is falling apart at the rehearsal for Freedom 250's July 4th celebration.

Here’s how bad Siri is. That’s not even how you spell Taimanov.

Kinda wild how Americans are way more into the World Cup, a sport they mostly do t give a fuck about, more than the country’s 250th birthday. Can’t imagine what caused that to happen. No clue. None.

Just in case anyone was supporting Craig, Frey just endorsed her. So, yeah.

As long as FIDE has low quality leaders like Dvorkovich, the World Chess Championship will continue to pay less than a typical PGA tour event, and every other top 10 chess player will get paid less than the average accountant.

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

I’m listening to the Daily and it’s sponsored by Tiktok and petroleum. I think some people have started to realize that the New York Times are just as villanous as Fox News and I think I’m on board with that now.

our mad senile pedophile king is at war with a shallow body of water on his front lawn and is losing

Nearly every time I find a song I like, I look up the band and they’re from Sweden. At this point Sweden is my favorite genre. I guess the only exception lately is Mors Principium Est, which is from… wait for it… Finland.

C'mon, @mprnews.org - unbiased is not the same as truthful. This sounds like you're trying SO hard to appear unbiased that you've deviated into sanewashing fascism. Call it out, or you're as bad as the fascist media. Do better.

The advert, which claims that the company values honesty and direct communication, and “fosters a culture of respect and integrity” might as well have followed on with “THIS IS A TRICK” in bright-red 72-point font.

Nice thing to see on my way home.

soooo let us get this straight: there was a big tech conference and the new technologies they unveiled is…more AI shoved down everyone’s throats! 😃 honestly getting Groundhog Day vibes at this point

In my lifetime, Woodbury has risen from farm fields into one of the biggest cities in the state, kind of quietly. Residents love it, outsiders sometimes have trouble defining it (but often run a lot of errands there). A look at Woodbury: www.startribune.com/woodbury-sub...

The journalist who reported this piece portraying “trans people fleeing state-backed violence” as an equivalent experience with “moving to Texas for a McMansion after the Black Lives Matter protests pissed you off” should be genuinely ashamed of himself. Fuck you NPR

Va Bene in Duluth is so good that we drive up from Minneapolis to go there. The view is as good as the food.

One last try, this time on desktop. Here are the pictures from the Minnesota Marine Art Museum in Winona that would've been on here a week ago if Bluesky worked on mobile.

www.technologyreview.com/2017/08/15/1... David Byrne is right, as usual. This was 9 years ago and it’s only escalated from there.

the last time cbs news fucked with 60 minutes this bad Michael Mann made a film about it starring Al Pacino and Russell Crowe that was nominated for best picture that made all of management look like the incompetent spineless fucks that they were. anywho what’s Mike up to these days

Driving to Winona is worthwhile just for the scenery. The Minnesota Marine Art Museum is really good as well, which gives me an excuse to go. I’d show you in pictures but this website crashes every time I try to post them.

My whole life is a battle against enshittification. Linux is just the latest. Tea instead of paying $9 for a 12 pack of Diet Coke is something I’ve been trying recently. I’ve always used libby, lichess, wikipedia etc. The point is having control and not getting ripped off.

Windows 10 wouldn’t let me pick which apps are in my taskbar. Nor would it allow me to put it on the left side, which would’ve been a big help because I use an ultrawide monitor so it took up way too much space. In literally any Linux distro, you get to choose.

This is also another indictment of Toddrick Barnette’s lack of oversight of MPD and its leadership. Minneapolis residents deserve better from leaders of such important public safety departments.

It was a massive error in judgment for Mayor Frey to nominate Chief O’Hara while there were active investigations into very serious accusations that had been rumored for months. This is what happens when you prioritize optics and political expediency over governance and accountability.

Google is an abuser. Adding 4GB of data to some users’ Chrome was part of a pattern. They also added Gemini to gmail without anyone’s consent. And now it happened to me, with auto-dubbing completely taking me by surprise in a video with no words.

I was watching a Maru video on youtube and all the sudden a robot said “yeah.” And then it happened a bunch more times. Google is now auto-dubbing videos. They turned it on without my approval. These videos have no words so it was all AI hallucination. #a1

The world is your oyster. Hard to reach, near impossible to open. You will probably slice your thumb in the process—how the f*ck do they do it so easy in the videos? There will not be a pearl. There will be slimy snotty stuff. It’s better with sauce. Repeat.

It’s not just Ken Martin who needs to resign. It’s anyone who suggested Ken Martin, and anyone who gave any directions to Ken Martin. The single most important report in the history of democracy ended up being AI slop with zero budget. #a1

Sabotage is one of Hitchcock’s early works and you can see him getting the hang of things. All the best elements are there but the story gets clunky at the end.

Episode 52: Think and Grow Rich In 1937, one man helped pioneer the self-help genre the only way he knew how: by telling an elaborate series of preposterous lies.

My cat found a bun! There was a little baby bunny in our window well. This was yesterday morning. When I got back from work the bun was still in the window well so I picked it up and let it out. #minneapolis #bunny #cat

This is the best post about the internet I've ever seen. fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/the-slo...

Here's how playing chess by postcard has been going: The Minneapolis post office lost about a quarter of my postcards. So I started using Woodbury and they lost three of my postcards in a row. So I tried Roseville and they lost some postcards too. I think the problem is with USPS in general.

I don’t know what you’re doing tonight, but you could be watching two hours of Monsterpiece Theater.

I hold out high hopes for a world of international digital public goods: free and open software that replaces America's extractive, defective black boxes with transparent, auditable, trustworthy alternatives that are under the control of the people who use them: pluralistic.net/2026/04/16/p... 39/
