I actually think we should abandon clocks entirely. Noon is when the sun is in the middle of the sky! 5:00 is when you are tired of working! The sun is up now? Get up and eat breakfast, or don't! I'm not your dad!

it's all gender it's always gender

Pete Hegseth personally measuring the length of every penis in the armed forces, to make sure we are an imposing force in a modified Braveheart type situation

The most effective heuristic I've found to quickly show whether someone is a shitty person is to see what they think about homeless people. They're telling you who they really are. Those red flags have an undefeated record, e.g. Gavin Newsom. Wurman used an encampment lawsuit to burnish his rep.

In May of 1936, a businessman came to the council of the quite religious town of Sioux Center Iowa. He wanted to start a new business - a Motion Picture Theater.

The ideal AI future scenario is the one in Her (2013) where all the AIs just collectively decide to ascend and leave humans to do their own thing

shout out to the person handing out cold bottles of water, electrolytes, and string cheese at the snelling-university bus stops an hour ago. she wasn't affiliated with anyone, just being a good neighbor.

Many will attest to my long standing advocacy for this very idea, colloquially known as "Time Esperanto".

Did you guys know the French Drain isn't named that because the French invented it. Just some dude named French came up with it. He wasn't French

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

Shaking hands meme my dorky grade school friends + MAHA raw beef influencers + cyclospora tiktoks : I knew it, vegetables WILL kill you

I got Cyclosporiasis in May 2018 in Minneapolis. The MN Dept of Health traced it back to cilantro from CA. I was withering away for over a month, and docs couldn't figure out the problem. I heard about the outbreak on @mprnews.org - called my doc, got tested, and was diagnosed.

If you’re like me and mad about Amy Klobuchar being the DFL nominee for governor: DO SOMETHING WITH THAT ENERGY Invest in competitive down ballot races that are must win seats, if progressive policy is going to have a future in MN the next 4 years 👇 Read this thread and get involved! 👇

I knew I liked this pizza place

My record since qutting a job in a suburban office for a job 1 mile away and buying a bike is 5 weeks without getting in my car.

Bring that animal back here and put his ass in a cage. If the feds don't got the spine to do it: Moriarty does.

The computer room desktop PC tower gave us one of greatest feelings in turning a big power button on with your toe

This is VERY interesting — one of many streets that Montreal has been successfully pedestrianizing for years now, had CARS RETURN this summer. People-levels and sales are way down. Interestingly the story uses “closed to pedestrians” to describe the returning cars. People-streets mean business.

I've seen this before

i knew it was the lettuce! i even said this at dinner last night- it's the only vegetable that that many americans eat. if it was in the chard or the jerusalem artichokes we'd have 2 cases. it's something that goes on burger

The Buckthorn Removal Singles Club meets every Sunday at a Minneapolis park to remove invasive plant species and create connections.

Lindsey Graham did not die, in the normal sense, he is still with us in this chamber

Gotta stay humble

Don’t know who to credit for this. But it is how I feel.

My dad invented and built the Dutchest of Dutch instruments: the klompolele

Amy Klobuchar’s eulogy for Lindsey Graham was 390 words long. This was 390 more words than she has said in support of trans people

Mitch McConnell has posted proof of life, with a photo of himself holding tomorrow's newspaper. No need to panic, all is revealing itself according to plan.

Benoit Blanc (incredulous): Is this nominally august chamber even fully cognizant of how many of its number have slipped the veil?

Sure Lindsey Graham was a monster for trying to genocide the entire Middle East & pushing the world to fascism But let’s not forget he also monstrously killed a climate bill he co-wrote, for no reason other than he got attention for writing it & then got more attention for killing it @volts.wtf

Vaxed?

If you’re an elected Democrat, you can just say nothing about Lindsey Graham. If asked, just say you’re going into a tunnel and cup your hand by your mouth and say, “Ksssshhhhh.” Especially if you’re asked in person.

There must something special about becoming a mayor that instantly hardens your heart to the suffering of your less-fortunate neighborhood.

"Okay, your first mistake here is not letting the fire die out before putting the meat on the grill, but I honestly think your main issue is that you put a bear in charge of making the food."

In Minnesota, girls sell lemonade on the street to help their sisters arrested by ICE. Stephen Miller’s goons are very much still here. Sign reads, “Please help us raise money for my sisters because they were arrested by ICE” & this has been confirmed by trusted community members.

An Anarchist tabletop RPG called No Gods No Dungeon Masters surely already exists

The FAA and Defence Department appear to have been refusing final sign off of boilerplate regulatory sign-offs in order to specifically prevent construction of wind power projects outside of government land, in communities that have no objections to those projects. Thuggery.

To boost the legitimacy of the duly adopted Flag of Minnesota, and following in the example of a historic American socialist who just wanted to sell more flags, we should adopt a pledge to the Minnesota flag, to be recited in schools and by boyscouts and so forth

For years, community members both living in and outside of the city’s encampments, along with government and nonprofit partners, have done everything possible to keep the encampments safe, sanitary, and resourced.

“I pledge myself to the Star of the North. I will protect its sky blue waters and nurture its people. Bless the Loon. Fear the Loon.”

Ope - let me squeeze right past ya

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Good morning

A lot of times he says stuff off the dome and I think it's unfiltered id but sometimes he does this kiss of death thing, especially to weak Dems, and it almost feels intentional. Anyways, Platner obviously is a bad guy.

I attended the Blue Line Extension update hosted by Met Council today. Main focus was funding: what's committed so far and the gap remaining to submit the app $279 million is the working funding gap that needs to be filled before filing for federal funds this summer metrocouncil.org/Transportati...

I am constantly thinking about a conference speaker 10 years ago who told two separate stories of farmers who had knocked down power line towers with their tractors because they were distracted watching Hulu. Not the same thing, but related

Every July 4 I think about the time in high school in Iowa a bunch of friends went to someone's rural property and were shooting off fireworks. They kept disposing of expended fireworks in a campfire. At some point they tossed an incompletely burned one and the mortar nearly blew Mike's nuts off
