I want an Olympic event called First Time Big Air, limited to athletes who’ve never attempted anything like this and they don’t get a practice run at it either.

that sound you heard was the aging newspaper columnists opening up their laptops to begin angrily typing

oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove. people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

with all these ice agents in town the twin cities metro is officially the missed child support payment capital of the world

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

The account cancellation team at Hulu/Disney just added a 2nd shift.

Ramones. First Ave Mpls 1986.

The Moo Booth milkshake stand only taking cash confirms my suspicion that rural MN has not entered the era of electricity which also confirms several other suspicions. Boo Moo Booth!

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

breaking all the rules to kick out a school shooting survivor for suggesting that maybe the DNC should be more than a retirement home for corrupt centrists

Zuckerberg is like a guy who invented an excellent floor wax twenty years ago and ever since then he's been trying to convince people that it's also a great desert topping, toothpaste, testicle moisturizer, and mouthwash.

Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”

Kristi Noem claims to be ‘on meth’ 😂

On this #420day, we celebrate the 52nd anniversary of performers “Gail & Dale” singing the hit, “One Toke Over the Line,” on Lawrence Welk. Neither had an idea the song was about pot, and Welk thought the song was a “modern spiritual.”

The Society for Historians of the Early American Republic is asking the public to help them track changes the Trump Admin is making to history-- in national parks, websites, wherever. Please share-- and please contribute! thepanorama.shear.org/2025/04/09/t...

If a future Democratic trifecta wanted to float a trial balloon on expanding the Supreme Court, they should expand the lower courts to the point that their appointments in red states are the majority. And scrap the convention of giving the senators of a state a say in who gets nominated.

If you’re opposed to fascism and you still use X, then no you aren’t.

When we're done with all of this, we should really get rid of: - the two party system - the presidency - the US Senate If we had a parlimentary, multi-party system, we could have elections in months to remove this clearly insane guy from office. Instead, we have to wait almost three years.

*cough maggiehaberman cough*

The Department of Defense deemed a story about baseball hero and civil rights leader Jackie Robinson's time in the Army as "DEI" and deleted it.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

At what point to the progressive Dems band together and break off into a new party? Their message & fight are tied to a sinking ship, people need a revolution to believe in. The case that they would take power away from Dems is moot bc Dems refuse to use even the slightest bits of power they have.

THE WRONG MINNESOTA SENATOR IS LEAVING.

We all want the internet to be a safer place. But ID checks won’t make us safer, no matter who you are, how old you are, or what you’re doing online.

National and local political media COULD have described all this destruction before the election Instead, we got horse race coverage because they don't want to rock the boat and lose access and they also because they're not very good at journalism .

You want to know what has kept girls/women's sports from being extinct? DEI. Title IX mandated that schools give equal resources to girls (vs boys) sports. The right spent years raging against Title IX claiming it took opportunities from boys/men, and now they pretend to be "saving" women's sports?

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Feels like we are living in the first third of a Star Wars opening crawl

If you are in line to sack Sam Darnold, stay in line. If you are in line before the end of the game, they have to let you sack him.

i’m not saying kids today have it easy or anything, i’m just saying that i routinely had to pick assignment topics in school that started with Aa - Co because my mom only got 5/28 volumes of the funk & wagnalls encyclopedia before the grocery store promotion expired

If there was a “coarsening” of society, surely it occurred when businesses were established to profit off denying people healthcare. The main joke people are making in response to Thompson’s death is merely to treat it with the bloodless bureaucratic indifference that these companies perfected.

I saw Concepts of a Plan open for System of a Down in 2003

Seattlite here. We didn’t take over a large fraction of the city that summer. It’s always been ours.

Dean Phillips was 100% correct about Joe Biden. It’s late June and this election is OVER.

Safe to say the Anthony Edwards’ celebrity hierarchy shifts back to that Goose guy from ER.

Elon and his illiterate minion staff don’t understand how URLs work.

Today's Old Man Yells At Cloud post: no one ever sang God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch until after 9/11. It was a sweet idea for like a month, then immediately became jingoistic and war-adjacent. Irving Berlin would hate it, it's been 23 years, and it's time to let it the fuck go.

All can be true: 1. Concerns about Biden age are legitimate - he'd be president at 86! Ds would go crazy in reverse situation. 2. But coverage is wildly disproportionate; both men are elderly & showing their age. 3. Most importantly, only one makes outlandish false statements & threatens democracy.
