"Minneapolis", 1925 lithograph by Ukrainian-American Louis Lozowick, Smithsonian American Art Museum

Happy Friday and thank you to the smart & friendly 15-min city freaks in Mpls-StPaul pushing for a radically tamed I-94. Even most lefties are silent, having swallowed the car Kool aid, unable to live without the highway, the poison is worth it so they can get somewhere fast. Do you see it, too?

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline.

oh you're a descriptivist? so the pronunciation of "skijoring" is fine?

wired is still re-posting their dumb gay conspiracy article-- by now they know that it generated engagement, they know what the complaints are, the context of the complaints, and nevertheless they continue to post. inch resting

Wired published a tabloid conspiracy piece about how the gays are running Silicon Valley, control everything, use saunas together & discriminate against non-gay people. Buried deep in the article: From 2000 to 2022, a whopping .5% of venture funding went to LGBTQ founders. 🤯

maybe I'm crazy but I think if you have to write a "difficult subject" article about a minority group doing bad things that is otherwise literally demonized by society, you should have to also write an analysis of positives, like do companies with gay CEOs/VCs perform better on DEI measures?
