I got in trouble on social after posting an article about yet another plan to add lanes to Interstate 70 in the state of Missouri. This was from the guy running / created Mastodon. My post was considered political. 🤷‍♂️

This is an image I’ve been waiting to see. Yes, it’s neat but that’s beside the point. The first annoying issue I had to deal with in vehicle processing last May was the result of an undesired chemical reaction around the NASA meatball and American Flag logo.

I'm not afraid of anything, I remember when television used to just cut to static after midnight.

In April 1991, Gopher system was created at the University of Minnesota as a text-based system that used the hierarchical menu structure for navigation. #InternetHistory

Athletes getting paid isn’t ruining college sports. The people running college sports are ruining college sports.

Huh. Bunch of storm chasers on the side of the road watching, so far, a nothing burger storm. At least they're pulled over someplace where traffic isn't being blocked. Local PD likes the exact spot, but for different reasons.

the level of pent-up horniness for a rocket launch that doesn't benefit or involve elon musk exceeds even my high expectations

next time the billionaires go to space i think a funny thing to do would be for us to quickly hide the planet while they're gone

I was born in 72

Was driving and missed the Artemis II launch but I am surprisingly a bit weepy to see my social media, even Twitter full of Artemis posts.

can you block a feed?

District Judge Rob Gettleman has issued his order mandating that clergy can access the Broadview, IL ICE facility between Holy Thursday and Easter Sunday this week to offer those inside Easter services. Gettleman found "the government has substantially burdened plaintiffs’ exercise of religion."

throw these marks in the trash with the fascists

It is truly amazing how many things medical professionals are not allowed to do — telling a patient to suicide, smash their teeth with a hammer, inject bleach. But this bullshit Christian mess wants the right to do all of those and more to children —AND Colorado has a mechanism to let her. 1/?

Employers should cover work-related travel and other expenses directly rather than require employees to float their employer an interest-free loan while subjecting them to a byzantine reimbursement process that will take at least a month and entail multiple rounds of paperwork.

I swear every season MLB updates the app and makes it more annoying to use. I want to listen to the game being played now MLB. Not click 4 things to close prior game popups.

Markdown? MARKDOWN?!

Good morning to everyone except the dipshit editors continuing to take pitches from Rahm Emanuel's publicist

this is not a children safety act, this is an internet ID bill. Gov Pritzker, this is a major misstep in the fight against online radicalization (aka the "rabbit hole") and in personal freedom in the state of Illinois

Every headline about Trump "exploding" is a disappointment. Save that word.

POV: You’re a BJJ school in Kansas. #IYKYK

Dorothy, Blanche, and Rose each each posed nude for a Hungarian sculptor named Laszlo (Tony Jay); as an alien politician named Campio he left Lwaxana Troi at the altar *because she was nude* (in accordance with Betazoid custom).

Fucking stupid ass politicians who don't understand how things work and what the consequences will be from bad legislation.

Fuck ethanol and the polluting agriculture practices that go with it.

I’m also going to shout out Tomi Adeyemi’s “Children of Blood and Bone,” with the caveat that I haven’t read the third one yet, but it hits the Misfit Found Family of Magical Youths sweet spot and has THE single greatest magical system of any book I’ve EVER read in my life

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy

I just suggested the daycare center I sent kid #1 to as a solution for someone. I paid $650 a month. I knew it had gone up, but they are usually considered the affordable option. So let's say $7800 a year. It's almost $19,000 a year now. In Central Illinois. No one's having babies.

Bloomington Illinois doesn't have enough water, but sure allow a data center to be built. Also, some good notes on Flock and law enforcement gas masks. www.wglt.org/local-news/2...

Maybe another shoe will drop, doubtless more bad news is on the way, but no matter what: Sam Altman is having a bad day today, and that makes me really really happy

Dentists love to make your gums bleed then be like "look what you did"

This. A thousand times THIS 🤬

A particularly nasty one: some store brands of vinegar are now less acidic (4% vs the standard 5%), making them unsafe for pickling or canning. You have to look carefully at the label to be sure. news.vt.edu/articles/202...

Drop a movie that traumatized you as a kid. I still cannot stand clown dolls.

I think this is a great idea that will be even more amazing when floated by someone whose hobbies don’t include covering up murder

GenX Americans remember.

Large corporations, consumer internet providers, cloud providers, universities, hospitals, etc gonna love this. Republicans are going to kill every aspect of the economy and modern life.

Progressives like @warren.senate.gov and @mehdirhasan.bsky.social need to clock this moment for what it is and fix their hearts. We do not support people with Nazi tattoos (Platner). We do not praise people who offer a friendly platform to Nazis (Carlson). STOP IT. BE BETTER.

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

OK. I've watched enough tournament games to wonder if the chatter about balls being overinflated is true. #kubball

it's because they don't actually experience happiness through anything other than hurting someone else. This is all they know. The literal worst kid from every high school in America , all in one club

As Coates said in the interview, "No country in this world establishes its ability to exist through rights. Countries establish their abilities to exist through force."

I loved The Maxx

there’s a definitely a certain type who think they’re more evolved because they’re able to see the merits of popular assholes

Oh no. I hope there's a future follow up on this. www.wglt.org/local-news/2...
