Removing pedestrian and bike infrastructure because the city is too dysfunctional to help the most vulnerable residents is totally unacceptable. It's collective punishment, it's dangerous, and it cannot be tolerated.

As ICE ramps up their bullshit for the summer, a reminder that me and a whole bunch of other folks will get whistles out to you, for free, in quantities of 100 to thousands, to distribute in your communities. Just send a request here linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Bought an ace pride flag and they tossed in a pile of stickers including this surprising banger???

Columbia Heights just canceled their flock contract! I'm very proud and happy.

Personally I think it should be incredibly illegal to use deepfakes or any sort of generative AI in political ads. No making up fake people who agree with you. No making a realistic puppet of your opponent to fool voters into thinking they said or did something they didn’t. Lie the old fashioned way

I’m at the centrist Dems rally and we’re all chanting our winning message: “actually our economic system is perfect and if you don’t feel like you’re benefiting from it that’s a you problem”

if any senator had chosen to be the one guy who voted against every single trump nominee, they would be the front runner for 2028 right now

A Super PAC supporting Angie Craig for Senate in MN is running a TV ad that uses an AI-generated deepfake of her opponent. Craig will likely respond that this is not *her* campaign, it’s a PAC expenditure. But the values of your mega donors say something. If scumbags choose you, look in a mirror.

CYCLE OF HATE and then the pic is this

This is essentially going to become the new Search Engine Optimization: flood AI with so much misinformation that it regurgitates it.

Happy World Bicycle Day. Here are some bikes from my office at the University of Minnesota. (The photograph is my great grandfather Robert Johnson bicycling around Metiskow, Alberta.)

Today's random youtube recommendation is a HO scale steam engine. No, not like that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVwL...

I don't know what everyone's complaining about. Just go to settings > features > worms, then change the "worms pouring out of my phone" toggle from "yes" to "maybe later"

#OnThisDay June 2 1838: After being evicted from Fort Snelling by the US Army, French-Canadian bootlegger Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant moves downstream to Fountain Cave, establishing the first saloon and permanent settlement that eventually becomes the city of St Paul, Minnesota.

When the post is one character too long and you have to get rid of the Oxford comma…

My suggestion, as always, is that decal companies make pride flags that can be applied on top of the flags on model UP locomotives, and that graffiti artists do the same for the full-size ones.

Oh, you can't write a 5-page book report without AI? I fucking wrote 5-page book reports without having read the goddamn book. Get your finger out of your ass.

It is April 1st. JP Morgan predicts the Strait will be open within weeks. It is May 1st. JP Morgan predicts the Strait will be open within weeks. It is June 1st. JP Morgan predicts the Strait will be open within weeks.

the star tribune should not have needed social media blowback in order to finally cover the minnesota GOP doing a moment of silence for derek chauvin, esp waiting until nearly 24 hours AFTER attorney general keith ellison sent out a press release about it

due to the rising cost of housing, there are now three wolves inside you

They're blocking the straits for Pride

HOORAY FOR MY NICE TRANS FRIENDS!!!

I find it totally bizarre that no twin cities outlets even mentioned this in passing. People were fired from jobs for criticizing Charlie Kirk, but praising a convicted murderer isn’t a scandal?

it has come to my attention that busytown is anti pig

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands

It's pretty terrible that when Bluesky rolls out a new moderation category they keep defaulting to hide, when warn would let people know there was a new category and let them make their own decisions.

i had to click two dialogs to open this sfw image. whole site is washed. fucking stick a fork in it

The thing is there’s actually a LOT of conservative media, and it’s pretty popular. TV and movies are full of hero cops, evil terrorists, just wars, strange invaders, psycho killers, and nasty women. What Matt is recognizing here is a lack of successful FASCIST media. Audiences don’t like fascism.

I knew about the one at 18th/johnson, but Jfc look at the Home Depot parking lot. I wish ppl would stop shopping there.

If you’re going to do a moment of silence involving convicted murderer Derek Chauvin - who is alive - doing it for any less than 9 minutes and 30 seconds fails to truly recognize the weight of what he did.

the “park” didn’t end the reservation system, Russ Vought and Doug Burgum did. the problem is that when you rip out the copper wire looking for the Secret Pronouns Stockpile, the shit stops working.

People are now debating what the proper earring placement is.

One more

Minnesota GOP convention just voted to stand for and hold a moment of silence for… killer cop Derek Chauvin. Can’t make this up.

Here’s where my heart is. Nothing but solidarity to these protesters. Sometimes the only thing that kept me going this winter was seeing messages from other states; I hope one little New Jersian sees this and knows Minneapolis is watching and that our hearts are with you.

bleak times at the state DFL convention. it’s nearly 11pm, we still have Q&A for governor between kobey layne and amy klobuchar and every single pop machine in the mayo civic center is sold out

STAR WARS would not exist without Marcia Lucas. If you think otherwise, you’re wrong. Her editing gave that first film the punch and vigor that audiences responded to. Along with Verna Fields, Marcia Lucas changed blockbuster filmmaking forever.

Gorilla Playing Saxophone with Balloons has dropped out of the White House concert

Name your fav non-DC or Marvel comic book movie

Hey, we are about two weeks awy from the end of That One Matt Bors Comic crowdfunding! What is this bizarre book, you ask? It’s about a panel that took over discourse, “we should improve society somewhat.” www.kickstarter.com/projects/gle...

I know what you're thinking but it turns out he's too old to join the French Foreign Legion.

BREAKING: The entire lineup of Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters have been replaced by their label after every one of them refused to play the Freedom 250 celebration.

And then there were two.

Using the first two panels—RARE

Change in Headline

I would be remiss not to point out that "Tricking Milli Vanilli into performing a concert for a dictator" is LITERALLY a storyline from the 1990s 'Super Mario Bros 3' cartoon 🙃
