Some people will say this REI ad was AI generated. I choose to believe that they have finally embraced the power of “reach around bars,” and acknowledged the bourgeois redundancy of having two pedals.

Roseville bike ride update: dodging storm detritus and thirsty contractors' trucks

I've probably spent more time at Half Time Rec than any other bar in Minnesota.

Racket should let you "gift" these to neighbors who just started flying the old state flag in the last couple years

No one can trigger an existential crisis quite like a 9 year old kid. After five minutes of dead silence driving down Midwest country road he blurts out "WOULD YOU RATHER DIE NOW OR LIVE FOREVER!"

I'm not sure what people think this poll says, but if someone thinks it means the Dem party needs to move to the center they're wrong. The Q is functionally meaningless and bad social research. It's effectively a poorly operationalized double barrel Q. The results are gibberish.

There's also a relatively significant chance they make donations to these universities contingent on punishing AI detractors

So glad my 9 year old decided to do travel basketball this year rather than scouting. Always felt the ick giving them dues. m.email.scouting.org/rest/head/mi...

Appears to have been a glitch. After dropping Kanopy this would have cut deep.

Well fuck.

"Dessert: included" sounds like a lost lyric to Serengeti's Dennehy.

Clown car-ass fascists.

What's the "action" here? Seem more like collective ass sniffing.

JFC this is going to be the neo axis.

Also relevant that our elected opposition representatives handle this state sanctioned and directed violence very much the same way as they ineptly respond to "private violence" (i.e., thoughts and prayers)

Someone needs to get Amy on record if she thinks this admin is fascist. Her "bipartisan friend" was recently smiling/cackling about invading Cuba. Whether she still sees common interests with the party that wants to own the western hemisphere and kill/cleanse the unpure is foundational right now.

You can't convince me that Xfinity doesn't completely nuke their website performance when they think your going to cancel your service. I've been getting "400 bad request" for the last 10 minutes after clicking "manage plan."

And the term for murdering repeatedly is serial killer.

@cookingissues.bsky.social Dave! I've been making homemade peanut butter in my Cuisinart with COSTCO's Virginia peanuts. It's sooo good I don't even put it on anything. I just grab a spoonful for a snack

At 6% interest you would only pay down about 4% of the principle of a mortgage over the first decade of a 50 year loan. 12% after 20 years. By the time you pay off a 30 yr mortgage you'd still have about three quarters of the principle left.

This would basically just be paying the bank rent while also paying the other costs of ownership (insurance, upkeep, taxes), and for damn sure the banks would be super predatory about pushing it on lower income buyers.

If the Dem party wasn't nearly completely captured by corporate/wealthy interest they'd make clawing back and redistributing the $80 trillion stolen from most Americans the central focus of their platform everywhere www.rand.org/pubs/working...

I'd argue the "foundation of free society," as much as that's actually a thing and not just a rhetorical cudgel, is the ability to *exist* without fear of violence. The deceased's entire political project was to undermine that.

Brings back uncomfortable memories about being on campus at a small liberal arts college in the rural Midwest during fall 2001. Bomb treats aimed at the school because of its international students were so common that some profs just started having class outside to avoid having to evac mid class.

It's never more apparent that elite political academia have never had to vote in poor urban areas than when they think new structural barriers to voting and some sort of phase transition.

Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence

Rest in Peace. I still have the mini peace pole Melvin gave me over 20 years ago.
