As a cultural Catholic* I am absolutely delighted by Leo’s hammering of JD Vance *I was born into Catholicism and although I no longer believe in God I remain all in on any kind of Catholic intrigue

I really need Strava to bring back automatic e-bike labeling so I stop getting awarded QOMs only to lose them 2 seconds later when I go manually update my ride. They introduced all this AI shit that does nothing and took away the only feature that was actually useful.

The sweater I wore today is not moisture-wicking and my back is so cold

So many things about Apple functionality are absolutely infuriating. They changed the process to start a Workout, so my Watch didn’t record my ride to work. It DID track the exercise minutes. BUT there’s no way to go back and label those minutes as a Workout. NEAT!

I met so many neighbors and doggos while I was outside taking pics ❤️

And now back to our regularly-scheduled Spire Slaying. Can I beat The Champ with only 47 HP? Lock in your guesses now and stay tuned to find out.

Okay Idk how you all took such cool pictures of this but whatever. These are by no means good, but I still think they look cool. They also required minimal adjustments to exposure to get to this point, so that was nice. These two are my faves.

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME SEEING THEM 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

The notion that employers can have literally any say in what their rank and file employees are posting on personal social media accounts is so fucking stupid. I guess the exception would be if you’re out there advocating for the demise of your employer (directly or indirectly).

I want to post a snippy reply to someone but it’s not worth it so instead I’m subskeeting into the void.

If you don’t say Liz Lemon, consider yourself blocked.

This album is so fucking good. Adam Levine should’ve just stopped here and faded into oblivion, only coming back to feature on YOLO and Humble. And certainly never resurfacing in the most embarrassing DMs ever.

I got to photograph this professional model/5x employee of the year/Very Good Girl yesterday. She was given all the treats and got to wear this super comfy and warm sweatshirt. Donate to @bikemn.bsky.social to get cool perks like this (dog hair not included)! givemn.org/organization/Bikemn

AOC needs to start the call for Schumer to resign

1. I love that this is from the Omaha PD because I’m from Omaha and required to mention that any time I hear/see the word Omaha 2. I have apparently unintentionally called a lot of people homosexual prostitutes.

There’s just no way Klob wasn’t a Yes who traded her vote.

Should I bike to work today? It’s about 15° colder than the lowest temp I’ve ever biked in. But I do have cold weather gear. I have like 30 mins to decide.

this is one of my favorite internets

Turns out I hate Nikki Glaser

The internet is making me too angry today. Time to go wash my hair so I have a reason to not be online for 60-90 minutes.

in case it was somehow unclear to anyone, this is why the phrase “no one hates democrats more than democrats” exists

I didn't have a plan for what to say when I just called Amy K's office, so I ended up saying, among other things, that she's a fucking embarrassment to Minnesota. It was fun. I recommend it.

Someone plz tell me where/how to make the Mamdani signs. Google is giving me nothing. I will recreate it manually if I have to, but that sounds like way more work.

I’m looking for an iPad-based solution for my D&D character sheet. Any recs? I’m currently using Freeform and it’s okay, but it’s really clunky. GoodNotes was not what I wanted. I use Procreate a lot but I don’t think it’s right for this. Any recs?

Friend

Today in chess: after the second turn, a person rated lower than me (my rating is VERY low) messaged me “follow the script” My guy, no.

Our time at the 2025 TOC has come to and end. We were half a point away from moving to the finals. But at least I got to update my bsky bio.

Trivia Mafia Tournament of Champions Regionals are tomorrow. The anticipation is preventing me from falling asleep. It’s just like how the night before the first day of school used to work.

Wartime at the Orpheum would be such a good name for something

Remember when we finally saw the mother for the first time on HIMYM? So good.

Trying out the pumpkin muffin recipe as bread because it’s easier to clean a loaf pan than a muffin pan.

If you’re familiar with the intersection of Jefferson & Victoria, you know how busy it is and how unsuited for bikers it was because of the 35E on and off ramps. Well, never fear, they improved the ped path and put in a raised bike path! Oh wait.

I need to do things but once again there is a kitty on me oh noooo

Ortho appointments are just far enough apart to let me fully forget how much new powerchains hurt for the first few days. Anyway, ow ☹️☹️☹️☹️

Reddit is calling for a Spruce Tree Center on every corner of Snelling & University and the internet has never been more correct about anything ever

I saw the Apple News update about Pelosi but couldn’t read it right away, so I just assumed she died. Instead we still have to deal with her for two more years. Neat. Love it.

Going back to work is exhausting. I’m actually glad I’m only part time right now because I have no idea how I’d ever stay awake if I were working full time.

Here’s some fun context for the St. Paul election. I posted this on 9/17. The email was about getting access to Carter’s Facebook Ads account.

It’s awesome that the @dfl.org will learn absolutely nothing from this election cycle and will just continue relying on rich donors rather than confronting real issues. Neat!

Meet your heroes

How Her can fix St. Paul’s budget: 1. Pass administrative citations (✅) 2. Annex Falcon Heights 3. Issue citations to the State Fair re: terrible toilet paper 4. Profit 5. Complete Summit reconstruction plan in its current form ✌🏻❤️🧻

Anyone who is shocked that Her pulled off a win has not been paying attention to St. Paul in the last 4 years. Surprised? Sure. Actually shocked? Get your head out of your ass.

Okay but what’s the first parade Mamdani’s going to skip

For the approx. zero people who care: I decided that keeping St. Paul fine was the best option. Yes, it came down to the Summit reconstruction plan. Because I want a leader who is willing to take a stand for something important.

My chess rating is one winning game away from being back up to 400, which is what you start with. I wonder how long it will take me to actually get there.

my husband accused me of not picking up pizza so I scrubbed through the footage from our garage cam and sent him this

I have seen 3 Mike Hilborn signs in my life and every single one of them was on a boulevard. Are he and Becka competing for the most campaign violations or something?

What in the cinnamon toast fuck is “sharing a vibe on Meta AI” and why do I keep getting notifications about it on Instagram

I saw two more Becka Thompson signs on Minnehaha today. Not sure if they’re new or if cars were just parked in a different configuration that allowed me to see them. Anyway, I can’t wait to not have to look at those anymore.

Ugh I forgot to take my adderall before I voted so now I’m back to being sleepy until it kicks in
