English translation: "And they're basically saying that peripheral countries can't guarantee the safety of historical items, not returning our things." museums are so embarrassing (at best) sometimes 🥴🥴🥴

roses are red the french are easy to outmaneuver

I simply cannot overemphasize just how common a fuck up this is as some of the world's largest and most important institutions.

I'm at the age where I got excited when I saw a cereal at the co-op on sale that had 10 grams of fiber per serving

working at a nonprofit: traumatized and disgusted so much by a former employer that you subscribe to propublica alerts so you know whenever they publish new IRS 990 forms you can study

I want more old timey computer visual art, this music video is awesome youtu.be/hoI4WFpiSH4?...

when was the last time you girded something that wasn’t a loin

"The state wants to rob the object of its local histories and prevent it from becoming a...part of the original community, instead rendering it as an artifact that needs care....It’s a stark reminder: Sometimes the best way to kill something and rob it of its history is to place it in a museum."

"This movie reinforces what many already know: museums want to acquire objects without the burden of people and their associated cultures." hyperallergic.com/1031896/jorg...

Finance man thinks millennials and Gen z have a poor work ethic, news at eleven!!!!! (From the msp business journal in a story about Gen z and millennial thoughts on inheritance.) This is a real throwback take, it's funny to see it in print in 2025. Saying millennials aren't resilient is laughable.

I learned a lot in a short amount of time recently when my car was stolen including: if you report your car as stolen and it gets impounded you still have to pay the $222 fee to get it out; locksmiths work 24 hours a day; there is a form to get replacement plates and stickers/tabs; a new fob is $300

I hate reading obituaries about my friends www.kesslermaguire.com/obituaries/j...

This obit makes me sad for several reasons. I don't know anything about Mason other than what is written by their obviously Christian parents. I'm quite certain this isn't how they would write their own obit. We should all be able to die peacefully of old age www.bradshawfuneral.com/obituaries/m...

I didn't know Mason but they were only 26. Coming out and living out takes guts. Every death is a tragedy. www.bradshawfuneral.com/obituaries/m...

The universe provides painful lessons on loss whether we need more of them or not😩. RIP Joyce. Sickness shouldn't be able to move so quickly. We are reeling.

The tl;dr of this map showing all the different current road construction projects on and near the umn tc campus is "do not come (by car)" www.google.com/maps/d/viewe...

This is a particularly good obituary; Carol got out of Grand Rapids, MN, and lived the dream aka got a rent controlled apartment in NYC with her partner and had a great time being the fun aunt in the family. The last paragraph is a great sendoff. www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...

Bob Dylan wants to be buried in an unmarked grave. Of course. That's why he's made a four-hour movie about himself and his pilgrimage. (1978)

I hadn't been down a bit wikipedia wormhole in awhile but this weekend I found one - the Mitford family. WOWEEE. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitford...

TIL about James Parks, the only person buried at Arlington national cemetery who was born there (he was born enslaved). He worked as a gravedigger there after being freed in 1862 and identified the locations of various plantation buildings. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_P...

every time you see an anti-porn and anti-sex reactionary "feminist" article, especially by a brit, you can google the authors name with "trans" at the end for a laugh.

This is basically the field of prospect research (although it's better to get info direct from an assessor, which is also public): "some are extrapolating Zillow’s figures to get a fuller picture of their friends’ financial situations." www.wired.com/story/people...

This is some of the best internet writing I've come across in aWHILE. subscribe to @racketmn.com !!! racketmn.com/goldy-gopher...

the Star Tribune just called me and told me they would not be publishing the obituary I wrote for my father as it is “unfair to him” and “in poor taste” so here it is and fuck the strib ✌🏻

This is a must read on the messiness and importance of doing trans history and talking to, or attempting to talk to, trans elders www.oah.org/process/doin...

Northrop Auditorium choosing the 6/24 newsletter to advertise this regressive revival event was a choice someone made. I voiced my displeasure.

Gotta get off this catastrophe firehose site
