"Musk pledged two years ago to build a state-of-the-art water recycling plant in Memphis to guarantee that his xAI servers wouldn’t deplete the city’s groundwater" "Now that Musk’s first data center is up and running, construction on the recycling facility has come to an abrupt halt"

What I wish for everybody to remember when Canvas comes back online: The reason OUR data can be held for ransom is because Instructure, their owners (KKR private equity & Dragoneer venture capital), & our own employers (see ASU Atomic) monetize it. It's Canvas that hacked education & stole our IP.

This is too good of a deal to pass up so I went ahead and ordered this bike from Freewheel. In about a week, I'll be the proud new owner of this Trek Fetch+ 4 cargo e-bike! I'm so excited!! 🤩🥳 I'm going to haul SO MUCH SHIT with this bike! But mostly my dog.

I just stumbled upon this amazing sale and... is there any good reason why I SHOULDN'T order this cargo bike right now?! Sounds like the Fetch+4 is getting discontinued, but I can't imagine that's through any fault of the bike itself. The specs are so good! I need a cargo bike for my new dog!

Reminder that, beginning next week and running through the end of the year, renters in Saint Paul are required to have 60-days’ notice before they can be evicted for non-payment of rent.

Same as the Uptown Safety Ambassador program, Frey won't give any kudos to the council members who actually championed these programs (Aisha Chughtai and Katie Cashman), but won't miss an opportunity to trot them out to prop up himself and his friends.

7 dollar gas. Well, I guess I'll buy an electric car. Oh those are 60 thousand dollars? Well at least electricity is cheap. Oh the government won't build solar panels because it's "Too transgender"? Well at least wages are going up. Oh the idea of jobs is fake now? Well at least everyone is happ

anyways, today was the first time many of us learned that the max number of strikes is 16 (i think?); @moderation.bsky.app please confirm & also please explain the strikes system at some point like bag monkey got a perma over the burger king meme earlier & to his knowledge, no strike history

if people advocating against genocide makes you uncomfortable perhaps it's time to interrogate that feeling instead of making it everyone else's problem.

This morning, a resident was stopped and kidnapped by ICE near 28th and Oakland Ave South. Yesterday, a resident was kidnapped by ICE near Lake and Stevens Ave South. There is also increased activity at the Whipple building this morning compared to the last couple of weeks. 1/

Rutgers School of Engineering canceled a commencement speech by Rami Elghandour—an alum and executive producer of an Oscar-nominated film about Hind Rajab, a Palestinian child killed by Israel—because "some" students complained: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... His response (via X):

It's poison. Loudly using Jews as the reason to suppress dissent and squelch political speech on the key moral questions of our time, lt positions white supremacists as the only ones unafraid to tell the truth. "Why are you losing the right to speak, to mourn, to appear in public? It's those Jews!"

Hey since Sheriff Bob is back in the news for being incredibly suspicious did we ever find out what happened with all that money he fund raised for a charter school that never materialized? www.twincities.com/2026/05/04/s...

From the story:

Absolutely failure on the part of the Chicago Park District to create safe green spaces. Why can’t we have any spaces in this city that aren’t totally thinner and overrun by cars? @betterstreetschicago.org @bikegridnow.org

Between some savings and Costco not cowing to DEI their up 18% growth over Walmart and target who chose to capitulate

“Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy.” Fake Yeats quote, but accurate description of me watching three of my teams in the playoffs.

Approaching eight months after they killed Silverio on September 12, 2025.

Your post telling user @goebbelsvibes to “go kick rocks” promotes self harm. It has been removed

Weird choice to show the child’s face who is riding the e-moto but blur the adult who is trying to run them down with her car. Lots of videos of this out there. This lady is chasing a kid riding a two wheeler with her car on the sidewalk. Reports say she was impaired.

i just can't stress enough how getting your foot in the door at DOJ used to be a knife fight against the best knife fighters in the country and now they're begging people to join

I was digging through Streets.mn archives and found this gem of a 2014-era post. Looking at emojis from a transportation perspective. Still no pictorial "no cars allowed" emoji (though Nick makes a point to say that ⛔️ is no entry, general but applied to cars). streets.mn/2014/11/14/transpo...

Why join them when you can beat them? I'm 22-3 so far and it's way more fun to punk the Feds than it is to represent Markwayne Dipshit and his ICE goons

So the Feds did more to investigate VA workers who went to Alex Pretti memorial than those who killed him.

"Around 5,000 households received six monthly unconditional cash transfers, each valued at $42.50... even in Somalia, this worked." No shit.

Sometimes I think about how Elon Musk runs a baby breeding cult and literally *one* major outlet (WSJ) reported on it and everyone else has basically left it alone and it never comes up. And how much more shit about him (and Trump) is being hidden from us.

You are a skilful and trusted vizier. You will advise me wisely on how best to rule the kingdom. You will not scheme or plot. You will not inveigle my other courtiers into turning against me. You will not lie to me about scheming or plotting. If you scheme or plot against me, you have to tell me,

Loved celebrating Cinco de Mayo on Lake Street. This year felt especially powerful as community came together to support Latine businesses impacted by the federal occupation. We always show up for our immigrant neighbors.

Very chill coyote just now on East River Parkway

Sure, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey looks epic... But this will always and forever be the definitive adaptation. #Scriptsky

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

The "collective belief," as he called it, that something is art results from social networks and institutions that recognize and legitimize that thing's status. It's about symbolic production (discourse), not material production (object).

Never forget what they did to us, who they took from us.

4 months ago this week ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis. His Chaska home was for sale until the listing was removed in late April. Prior to being blurred on Google Street View, the home showed a yellow "Don't Tread On Me" Gadsden flag hanging from the front door.

As well as its myriad factual errors, the book claims: - We're wasting taxpayer dollars on abused children - Trauma is the cause of autoimmune disorders - Most fat people were sexually abused as children. It's stunningly, shockingly bad! People should not be reading or recommending it.

Both *can* be true but they aren't in this case! The text of "The Body Keeps The Score" is fundamentally unscientific and reactionary. If you've taken something good from it I'm happy for you, but that's despite the message of the book, not because of it.

I didn’t take any pictures yesterday because it was too wet but here some from the past planting days, including our unconventional seedling transporters since we didn’t order proper planting bags in time 😂
