> No single person suggests making a logo that resembles an anus, but when everyone's feedback gets incorporated, that's what often emerges. Risk aversion in corporate environments naturally pushes designs toward familiar, "safe" territory, which apparently means anatomical openings.

My macaroni and cheese expired a year ago but at least I don't have to worry about getting EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA FROM IT

If you subscribe to @oracle.posters.rip , it will tag users with humorous ways it predicts they will die. Try it out! Personally, an infected paper cut will be my end.

Look at that guy, he's typing so hard

Want to avoid explosive diarrhea? Pass it on

In Raymond news, I brought him to visit folks at Memory Care last night and he did very well.

#OnThisDay July 17 1938: Sweden's Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf speaks of the bonds of friendship to a crowd of 50,000 at the Minnesota State Fair grandstand. Between 1850 and 1930, one seventh of Sweden's population emigrated to America, the highest proportion settling in Minnesota.

Has anyone checked lately to see if Minneapolis is still there?

Not beating the "explosive diarrhea" rumors

I need to wash dishes...and that means I've got to vacuum the kitchen first. #Neurospicy

Why do we even HAVE the plates that are the exact same size as the bottom of the pan

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

Holy shit

Anyone know how to search for a user by picture?

For two out of three dogs, squirrel watch is a very serious undertaking

I SHOWED YOU MY DUCK PLEASE RESPOND

This smart spider has set up right by my chair in the yard, and appears to be using me as bait

Now that I think of it, even if he provides some "proof of life" it's not going to be good enough for me. I require a "long form" life certificate

Who wants to come hang out around the campfire?

Do it! gradient.horse

The tweet that launched a thousand dogs

Alright, so he's on a laptop tray, but that's not a laptop. We're in an RV...with art on the walls? Also we seem to be at someone's house, where there's a dog we're not petting.

There's a book fair at the Fairgrounds tomorrow (Saturday) night!

This might be my new favorite account. KEEP THAT NSFW FILTER UP THOUGH

It seems like the Bluesky topic of the day is new Minnesota State Fair foods, and I love it

lol

"It is not a coincidence that this story comes a week before the ballot deadline" correct, survivors often feel compelled to disclose when the men who harmed them are about to get a lot of power, that's not a conspiracy against the men, it's a rational fear turned action

Wow it's super gross out there

The dogs and I went down to the river and we found a duck that needed a home

Enjoy this article from a Minnesota newspaper in 1882 noting that Scandinavians love their home countries so much that it will take them generations to assimilate into America. www.loc.gov/resource/sn8...

Just had a plastic lid fall off a pile downstairs, which set off the dogs' intruder alarm. I didn't find anyone down there, so I said out loud if anyone was there - get some rest, let me know if you need anything, and help out if you can. Now back to hiding from fireworks

As someone who works with a pet food pantry, my only concern is that I hope he didn't overwrite an existing pet food pantry. Really? No one had done it before?

Oh I figured out why the neighborhood fireworks have slowed down - IT'S THE BIGGEST RAINDROPS EVER OUTSIDE

Don't worry, he's okay

Hey uh...does anyone outside of the cities want to hang out and not watch fireworks? Because the dogs are losing their minds

It's 1am and they're still blowing stuff up

I'm not hungry but I must eat, apparently

I know a lot of smart folks - anyone have ideas for The Fake History Hunter? Is this archived somewhere?

I refuse to engage with anything from The Big Bang Theory after I watched one of the first episodes, and one of the characters ends up helping someone at the store choose between a Netgear router and a Linksys router by reading the boxes and looking at the features. A real nerd knows this answer.

A heads up to any drivers, it looks like MN State Patrol has already started extra enforcement for the 4th of July weekend. I saw 4 vehicles pulled over in about a 5 mile stretch of 94. Be careful out there!
