This font you all continue to use is somehow worse than the team on the field (said as a fan)

I had to write a delicate message fraught with potential consequences, so I asked AI to do it for me. JUST KIDDING I FUCKING WROTE IT MYSELF AND THEN RAN IT BY TWO HUMAN BEINGS BECAUSE I AM NOT A GHOUL

For sale: baby yoda shoes. Never worn they were

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Connie Willis predicted this in her 1995 novel, *Remake.*

There clearly needs to be a ballroom in every school in America.

i have a bright, diligent, numerate, lively and kindhearted first-year international student who has been unable to find any internship for this summer. His goal down the road is to be a STEM educator in his home country. Longshot of course, but I'm curious if anyone has ideas for him!

Anybody know why there’s a helicopter circling the UMN campus?

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

ARE YOU A NON-MINNESOTAN WHO WANTS IDEAS OF STUFF TO DO TO HELP MINNESOTA RESIST FASCIST TYRANNY? Have I got a blog post for you! With additional advice for how to get ready in case tyranny shows up at YOUR doorstep next! naomikritzer.com/2026/01/21/h...

It’s so fucking infantilizing to be told over and over about ignoring bait, like we’re all chomping at the bit for a fight or something What I wouldn’t give for just a single elected to have our back instead of this shit that implies we are some unruly mob in need of constant checking

My partner @jasoncapsaicin.bsky.social made a step by step guide on how to break up ice in your neighborhood in Minnesota. Enjoy!

There's ~$14k in need & currently $4k of the original $11k goal for SE Mpls rent help for folks financially impacted by 🧊 activity

Can you even say you're into rock if you can't name all the members of the Riverbottom Nightmare Band?

@captequinox.bsky.social and I are back at our Scary National Figure pumpkin attempts. Can you guess who this is without reading the alt text? Does the second photo help? 😁

hey I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere but - if you're using Chrome and you don't want this gross little AI Mode button to pop up in your address bar, paste "chrome://flags" into your address bar and search the flags for "AI Mode." find "AI Mode Omnibox Entrypoint" then you can just disable it!

Hey, Minneapolis Bluesky! I’m giving away three tickets to tonight’s live Normal Gossip show (7:30 at Pantages). You want?

Got a brochure asking for our house to vote for the current mayor. It turned into a pretend diaper for the toddler’s stuffed kitty cat. She knows about things that are full of 💩 #Minneapolis

“Women are prepubescent disembodied torsos” is pretty much exactly what I assumed he thought.

The goose knows you got the gander the same gift

As corporations across the US gleefully regress back to their racist roots, a worker is fighting back after he claims he was fired as retaliation for speaking out against racist Black History Month literature made by General Mills.

Very specialized lane on campus: yield to dancing pairs.

I love Charlotte Clymer. charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/my-thought...

we must not look at LLMs we must not buy their fruits who knows upon what text they fed their hungry thirsty roots

I can't stop thinking about this because so much of the "benefits" of AI are for problems that could be resolved in other, more enjoyable & humane ways. Not having time to write an email or read a book has better solutions than getting a bot to do it for you for the illusion of having done it

A very scary bill just passed in Ohio for transgender folks. No one but local LGBTQ+ orgs are talking about it. First, Ohio is only recognizing sex assigned at birth, male or female. You can get in trouble for stating otherwise on documents, I imagine. I may need to change my state ID back. 1/5

I’ve stubbornly avoided listening to Sheryl Crow’s 2002 earworm “Soak Up the Sun” for over 20 years so I’m pretty confident I will never use your AI “Assistant.”

autumn should start in july, after pride month. yknow … because pride cometh before *dodging rotten tomatoes* PRIDE COMETH BEFORE THE F *hit in the face with glass bottle*

Amidst the many horrors in the world today, I'm contending with reality-shattering news about the abhorrent behavior of a (once-? still-? is that even possible?) beloved friend. Somebody out there must have written on processing. @whatashrinkthinks.com ? @theradr.bsky.social ? (pls forgive tags)

Since people were asking about the words I shared today at the no kings protest, here's the full text. Thanks @indivistwincities.bsky.social and @mn50501.bsky.social. Wrote it last week, but because it ended up being about how we carry grief and what we might do with it, it felt appropriate:

Thank you Greyhound!

A giant READ THE ROOM to the folks who, at the end of a day (week, month, year) of blows from leadership to everyone’s sense of safety and wellbeing, have the audacity to send me this.

Kidnapping students for thought crimes is not something democracies do. zeteo.com/p/breaking-d...

A darling pair of carrots purchased at the Wedge. Are they in love? Are they twins? Are they trying to imitate a chromosome?

Also, last week, an LA passport agency denied passport renewal to a trans woman, threatened her with arrest, and kept all her documents. www.instagram.com/reel/DFdeyuh...

The federal government has removed the "T" from all its sites, literally erasing trans people. (Link below to page titled "LGB Travel Information." travel.state.gov/content/trav...

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Seen on the freebie shelf in the laundry room: probably one of the worst-aged Christmas gifts ever produced.

Here, I said some goofy bullshit about what maybe you can do today. Is it helpful? Probably not! But it's here! For you to ignore or embrace at your leisure. terribleminds.com/ramble/2025/...
