someone should make a movie about why having a robot girlfriend may not a bright idea, why hasn't anyone done this

incredibly fucking based. big ups to the Episcopalians.

Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Women’s figuring skating champion.

A man who has written numerous books about morality cannot say whether it’s immoral to murder someone because they mildly inconvenienced you

I’m not sure how you can be interfering with a federal agent when the supposed agent won’t show ID and isn’t wearing anything like a recognizable uniform. Some coward with a gaiter over his face cosplaying as the Michigan Militia doesn’t seem like a fed to me—looks like he’s impersonating a cop.

I hope a lot of white women are realizing it's better to be alone than to be living with someone who thinks Good deserved to be murdered.

It's also always a good time to wholly cut any Republicans out of your life, if for no other reason than your safety.

What I'm listening to today: "War" Sinead O'Connor covering Bob Marley, stripped down, sharpened, into something like a weapon. This ran live on TV and all anyone talked about was the career-ending final seconds. No one understood why she did it. Child abuse? Absurd www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZINQ...

I only complain about it because @reckless.bsky.social is always talking about the firewall between ads and journalism, but after finding out that L’Oréal’s LED face mask is on their best of CES list today, you’ll never believe who sponsored the live VergeCast the other day.😟

💯

These Nazi fucks may have gone to Minneapolis to be racist to Somalis but they’re all going to learn to hate white Minnesotans.

Meanwhile, Republicans ask X for priority access to the CSAM machine.

republicans are currently threatening a foreign government with retribution if they decide to turn off the child sexual assault image generator

As someone who has multiple dangerous interactions with a car every time I ride my bike I have zero patience for this bullshit from JD Vance and Kristi Noem about the agent feeling threatened by a car turning around. The average bike commuter has more courage than trigger-happy Jonathan Ross.

Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?

Friends, I’m going to need you all to stop fact-checking posts made in jest.

Seems like an armed and dangerous suspect who should be treated as such - including anyone who fits the description.

I’m not a lawyer, but I’m pretty sure that you can shoot somebody in the face during a citizen’s arrest. Let me know if that’s not true!

No offense to Mr. Bouie, but every time he shows up in my feed I think for a second that it’s Janelle Monae, and then I’m a little disappointed.

It was a pretty great thread, TBH.

Minneapolis doesn’t get enough respect, a thing that Midwest me can’t believe I’m saying.

Things were so much more genteel in the old days.

In 1997, the Ninth Circuit Court of appeals said that a federal agent who fired at an armed person at the Ruby Ridge (Idaho) standoff and accidentally killed another person could be tried criminally in state court. Today in Minneapolis, a federal agent shot and killed an *unarmed* woman...

And they're still going, roughing up teachers and vandalising cars. christ.

One of the things that has been lost in the history of the Boston Massacre is that the citizens had assembled in protest of the murder of an 11 year old child who threw a brick through the window of a post house in protest of the Stamp Act and was killed by a British officer in retaliation

23 and Me just sold off their entire database of intimately detailed genetic profiles to a drug maker to pay their bankruptcy bills, but sure, let's keep blithely giving all our vital info to a cadre of obscenely wealthy, racist, eugenicist Nazi freaks

We don’t need to compare what happened in Minneapolis to Nazi Germany. We can compare it to what has happened in Minneapolis before.

It’s crazy people will say “pew pew” and “unalived” on TikTok but I have seen the video of that woman getting shot like 3 times now on cable news

What ICE was up to in Minnesota before they murdered a woman

In fact, why are any of these guys carrying submachine guns and carbines or whatever assault weapons they’re allowed and they don’t all have tasers since they are literally just serving warrants on misdemeanor charges?

Me riding down Greenmount to work, but there isn’t a bike lane.

I was considering doing Dry January thing, but then I read the news and now I’m heading to the bar for trivia and I guess we’ll see how that goes.

Seems especially important right now to give these people $$ for dash cams

Every so often I think about how Minnesota holds, continues to hold, and will never return the 28th Virginia Batte Flag as a spoil of war, won righteously against the slaver-oligarchs and their willing goons in battle at Gettysburg. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...

The Leftist Serenity Prayer.

Nobody should be allowed to use lethal force until they know to wear a hat when they’ve gotten what has to be the worst haircut of their life.

Theres a murderer at large being protected because of his political beliefs

None of the stories about other countries becoming totalitarian regimes before the people can even understand what’s going on managed to prepare us for Trump 2026.

I’d say that MPD’s role is to use whatever SWAT nonsense they have handy to tear through every ICE facility in town until they can arrest the piece of shit shooter, but what do I know?

If Democrats can't win on "the administration is full of and covering for kiddie rapers and they're using your tax money to invade Venezuela and pay fat Nazis to shoot your neighbors" then GET THE FUCK OUT OF POLITICS

Your grandpa would be embarrassed at the “work truck” you drive to your laptop job.

I felt it was my duty to inform everyone that these old-ass men are finally living their truth

Every AI idea is either "make it nonconsensual" or "own a little human of your own"

Reminiscent of a remark by another violent, racist authoritarian:

“Genuinely funny,” but in a way that makes me lose what little hope in humanity I had left.

New Dem campaign ad just dropped

Question for the Enterprise-D’s replicator interface designer: has anyone in history made iced tea with Earl Gray? Seems doubtful.

I did some googling and I don't know if search is just fundamentally broken by AI slop or what, but I can't find a source that plainly states that it's legal to throw rocks at cars honking their horns at people inside houses on my block, even though everyone has a cell phone. Make it make sense.
