It is a well known fact that cats hate ICE. If your cat hates ICE, post their picture and name below for a chance to have them featured during our fundraiser for the Women's Foundation of Minnesota Immigrant Rapid Response Fund this weekend.

I love that I read this whole thread to my wrestling fan (black lesbian) wife and her first comment was “WELL HE SHOULD HAVE GIVEN FIVE STARS” followed by “and also there’s a huge contingent of black and brown wrestling fans”

I sincerely hope that JD Vance gets this reaction every single place he goes.

I'm at the Olympics and the entire stadium booed JD Vance. 😌

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

i wrote this story, and this comment came directly to my inbox when it was made. in unrelated news, i'm legally changing my name to "wizened husk morrison" and would really appreciate if someone could come collect my bones from where they've been gathering dust on the floor since that email arrived

Most Heated Rivalry coverage has been focused on what young people, particularly younger straight women, think. I cover aging and decided to ask older gay men about their thoughts. I found: A founder of what may have been the first gay hockey blog, a wedding cake shaped like a Zamboni and more.

Submitted my FMLA leave request for the surgery \o/

We put on an all-Yiddish community production of fiddler on the roof in Philadelphia and cast member and local artist Sofie Rose Seymour created the most amazing show poster that ever was

IMPORTANT OLYMPIC NEWS: THE POLISH FIGURE SKATING TEAM HAS A PLUSH PIEROGI

Momentary major panic of "how am I going to feed the cat while wifey is travelling while I am on no bending/lifting restrictions" but ok we will just put his food on the counter and make it work I GUESS

This is who the government said was “the worst of the worst”

This offers a little more color and a LOT more “oh….oh fuck that’s gotta be baaaaaaaaad” bsky.app/profile/adam...

I don’t like this

Imagine if your lawyer submits an AI-generated court brief so bad that the judge says "goddamn dude, fuck you" and rules against you before it even goes to trial. That is what actually happened here lmao

Minneapolis AUSA Ana Voss hasn’t explained why she resigned (becoming the 14th lawyer to quit that office in recent weeks). “The logical explanation is that the abuse of detainees, described at the hearing by Kira Kelley, is official policy.” Where a client persists in breaking the law, …

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Ok per doctor instructions I am going home for the rest of the day

I usually avoid sharing what feels like "inside baseball" political analysis here, but this merits an exception because of the stakes + scale involved. Zohran isn't "wrong" to endorse Hochul; he has no choice. But for primary voters to back Hochul would definitely be unwise. Let me explain why. 🧵

School librarians are freaking out. The site is used a lot, esp for middle school. And nonfiction that isn't narrative or bio - such as country fact books - has been decimated in kidlit to the point where it doesn't really exist anymore outside little kid books, so no replacement for the site.

Where is @jenniferemorrow.bsky.social when I need to yell about DS9

I talked with the owner of Modern Times, one of my favorite spots in Minneapolis, about making the entire menu free for everyone (except ICE) until ICE leaves the city.

Headline of the day

Reported my first person on ffxiv in the ten years I’ve been playing. For refusing to turn on tank stance in a dungeon. No excuse at level 92 when all 3 other people are reminding you in chat

"I was told you're a monster," the hero said. "So they say," said the monster. "But you're beautiful!" "Thank you." "Have you always been a monster?" "Heh. I was a young maiden. But I did something forbidden." "And became a monster?" "Got named a monster." "What did you do?" "I hit back."

This is brilliant. I'm so grateful for this testimony. I've transcribed it to use in letters I'm writing. Sharing the full transcription here (see alt text to copy/paste it):

Yeah I think I’m going home if I’m this uncomfortable post appointment

Picard's defiant shout of “There are four lights!” is now a meme, but it's his quieter confession to Troi that makes "Chain of Command" into a metaphor for domestic abuse, offering crucial insight into the experiences of survivors: #StarTrek

New fuck/marry/kill list just dropped

Again, I know everyone wants to yell at The Democrats & Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jefferies, but there are 10-25 people in Washington who could literally end all of this tomorrow, & none of them are Democrats, & they continue to get 24/7 free passes for being absolute oath-violating cowards. Focus.

Noooooo my doctor is sick which means half my appointment is still today and the other half is being rescheduled

シリナ＆サドゥ #FF14 #FFXIVART

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

showing her the sights #ffxiv

They let me put together the valentines romance book display at my library, which also meant that I had to explain Heated Rivalry to one of my coworkers

Important for people to realize that like 30% of all the bad stuff in society is already explicitly illegal it's just not enforced.

SEGA have some new third party IP agency doing the rounds, so if you have any Yakuza, Sonic etc merch in your Etsy and you've not been got yet, it's time to rename some listings.

one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.

Prep op for surgery tomorrow!!!!!! Got the check in phone calls AAAAAAH. (This is one million percent going to be like, the best medical thing to ever happen to me)

One of my FFXIV fandom pet peeves is the misinformed opinion that Gaius got off Scot free for his war crimes. I think that’s a take you form if you played the game skipping cutscenes, because Gaius is doing permanent community service to Eorzea under threat of death

people mocked Captain Planet villains for being "too cartoony" but after what we learned from the files, nah they were TOO accurate, these guys coming together to summon Captain Pollution to destroy the world.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

Christopher Nolan has cast a Genovian as Penelope and a Bostonian as Odysseus. And they will be speaking English, a language that did not exist in antiquity. This whole production is pure chaos.

Power Rangers Time Force celebrates its 25th anniversary today.

I refuse to let this stay in my head

From FB regarding Pizza Luce in Minnesota. I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.

Wifey informs me that Tekken is bringing back the Kangaroo and I refuse to learn how to play another character just so I can play as a kangaroo and punch people This is probably a lie
