Tip: you can actually get a lot of things on eBay cheaper than on Amazon

The lesson I am taking from the Epstein files is that if you have a mutually supportive network of a certain size and power, you can indeed affect the culture at large. Imagine if some folks who weren't among the worst that humanity has to offer did something similar?

Happy Olympics! Daisy and Ace are ready to party.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Hot dogs waiting for your call right now (a 90s late night infomercial for the 900 number crowd) IYKYK

I get that many (mostly white dudes) make jokes as a way of coping with stress but I’m begging you to stop making cute little jokes about the list and the island. It isn’t funny to survivors of SA & CSA. It isn’t a joking matter and you look myopic and privileged when you minimize it.

With details of how depraved the super rich actually are, it helps explain some of trumps contempt for, and desire to, control Canada. Because we have arrested and imprisoned the billionaire Nygard thanks to help from his son.

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

Elon Musk owns a website that generates child porn and was an eager associate of Jeffrey Epstein long after it was known Epstein trafficked children for sex. How is anyone continuing to be associated with any of his projects companies or operations

One detail getting lost in the coverage of Don Lemon's arrest? The church at the center of the case has ties to the Christian nationalist movement, including the “TheoBros," a loose network of mostly millennial, extremely online Christian nationalist pastors, podcasters, and shitposters.

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

Ok this plane thingie is kinda funny. When he dies we should have a code like “orange alert” and it’s a party time!

Liam is in ICE custody and his health is deteriorating. Joaquin Castro says Liam is depressed, lethargic, sleeping excessively and barely eating, repeatedly asking about his mom, and when he can go home. He’s withdrawn and not the bright preschooler he was just days ago. LIAM NEEDS A DOCTOR 1/2

Liam Ramos is also experiencing stomach pain, vomiting, fever and a complete loss of appetite, made worse by poor-quality food in detention. Attorneys who have visited the facility say the children inside are mentally broken. LIAM NEEDS A DOCTOR.

If I were the liberal equivalent of Alex Jones I’d spend months discussing how Trumps immediate statement after the attack on Ilan Omar was to discuss how someone might fake an assassination attempt to elicit sympathy.

Please enjoy Daisy’s play date with her BFF Ace

We don't talk enough about how a CEO got shot in the back of the head and then Elon Musk spent the next 3 months walking everywhere with one of his kids strapped to the back of his head.

A reminder that Liam Ramos, the son of legal residents in Minnesota, is still being held in a Texas prison. A five year old little boy - and America’s global reputation - now scarred for life. (📸 Ali Daniel’s/AP)

Like how a few days ago Astrotoya was begging for money on Bluesky and claiming to have covid while posting her engagement on Instagram at the exact same time?

Boycott Amazon. Cancel your account if possible. At least substitute with Walmart.

I recommend Minnesota Public Radio live. I’m learning a lot I’m not getting elsewhere.

ICE is a paramilitary force deployed in a campaign of state domestic terrorism. If the primary focus were immigration enforcement, they’d be raiding agricultural and hospitality industry settings. Instead, they’re going into residential neighborhoods, schools, and courthouses. Terror is the goal.

Daisy wishing she was rescued by a person who lived in a warmer climate

It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

Guys the people currently grabbing up power in the USA are part of a network that openly believes in "passive eugenics" so yes they are trying to kill everybody. They think the planet is overpopulated with "the wrong kinds of people"

President Zelenskyy is debunking the security arguments for Greenland (aka Iceland) hopefully in terms that weak willed folks like Starmer can understand.

Worth calling out that the Greenlandic Inuit were there long before any European explorer, and the date of colonization doesn't abate their rights.

See I’m taking this as a direct threat and if he gets applause we will know we are on our own. Did I think I’d have to take up arms against the country my parents spend the winters of their retirement? I did not. America can take us and hurt us but you can’t hold us and we are motivated.

I hope he chokes on that saliva the demented mob boss.

If I’m writing this crazy timeline I’d have a world leader say loudly in front of trump at Davos that he is a demented morally bankrupt mob boss draft dodger piss pants, just to watch the felon stroke out and it would be worth the aftermath. A lady can dream.

PM Carney is making us proud In Davos with this speech.

I’ve posted this a million times, too many people forgot what social media was like before the algorithm spoon fed you you can have cool stuff on your timeline if you actually follow people posting cool stuff it’s that easy

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

A very strong solar storm just hit Earth! Expect bright auroras tonight! - a very fast moving solar storm (CME) impacted Earth's geomagnetic field hours earlier than expected, and caused geomagnetic storm levels to immediately spike up to G4 (severe). www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/news/arti...

Sometimes it’s like having a cousin who remarried an abusive spouse and now that person is everyone’s problem but also we are ready for the cousin to do the hard thing. Minnesotans are proving to be good folk.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

Cookie fairy came back

Working in astronomy outreach, you quickly learn that the average person knows way less than you think. It's fine! You can live your whole life without knowing if the Sun is a star. I know because it is my job, most people don't have to. But asking questions is the first step to learning more.

Don, slamming down an Uno card on the chessboard- “BINGO!”

I would really like today to be The Day. Let’s manifest✨✨✨✨✨✨ it.

Watching Doug Fraud be cranky about the China - Canada deal warms my heart.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Like a crow he wants the shiny thing but the prize is not in the metal but in the words, which he can never be given because his rotting tiny heart can not hold the spirit of peace. Hopefully the trophy distracts him long enough for the grim reaper to collect him.
