I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

MPRB's next agenda has a resolution to talk about how to fill the empty Thompson seat through the remainder of the year. Some bodies would normally just promote the next elected to just serve a little early, but Rucker is the only one running and he's already on the board in an at-large position.

Trust must be earned and media continues to betray us. This is easy...if you want to be trusted, be trustworthy.

Don't you just love how the council spends years going through robust policy research, ordinance drafting, public hearings, and a majority vote of council members only to be vetoed by the mayor with a page of uncited "facts"?

"My water dish is empty"

Any recommendations for a new packer bar?

This whole section really.

"I cannot tell you how impressed my staff were as you stepped up and personally escorted that tactical vehicle through the crowd." - Homeland Security Investigations (HSI is a division of ICE) Special Agent in Charge Jamie Holt to Brian O'Hara on the night of 6/3, revealed by @mplsforthemany.com

Sadly it’s not just Donald Trump who does this. Mayor Frey has repeatedly disregarded budget allocations made by the Minneapolis City Council.

fateh lists frey’s failures

I guess once you're on top you can start defunding...

Finally got my federal tax refund! Maybe gutting the IRS wasn't a great idea...we all got to pay me a buttload of interest.

The ward 13 turkeys have chosen their candidate.

Cherry-picked data like this released just before an election is an abuse of executive power. Where's the stat of number of homeless people in the city? It's not 0 like he promised.

Is nearly 15 minutes meeting YOUR target for police response times? Frey seems to think so on his mayoral dashboard.

Task failed successfully

Best part of the Packers game was right after the moment of silence for Charlie Kirk, Icona Pop's "I love it" being played. Excellent malicious compliance energy.

That's too hot

Picard programming tip: A computer is like a mischievous genie. It will give you exactly what you ask for, but not always what you want.

I hate how Google’s focus on AI results seems to be here to stay, despite no one asking for it What will happen to all the websites that feed into search results once traffic has dropped so much that they shut down? Why is Google being such a shit like the relationship wasn’t mutually beneficial?

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

"The CRBC has disenfranchised the Minneapolis delegates, mischaracterized their process, and imposed an undemocratic decision of their own on our city."

If you’re new to MN just know the sirens today are to let Vance know he sucks.

When is our society's love of vibes over facts going to end? This post is also about AI

Hasn't our community bee through enough? Can we make sure the separation ordinance also covers participation in these kinds of federal actions? I don't want MPD helping. I don't want the state patrol or sheriff's office closing streets or escorting for this.

JD smelling the rotten almost corpse, Hegseth counting how many people are ahead of him for the presidency.

You are no more permitted to slap eight year olds than you are to slap tech CEOs, and for much the same reason: they're far too immature to know better. We must have the utmost compassion for those whose emotional development is limited.

Get the hell off Substack before you literally can’t anymore without blowing up your business

This is going overboard now. Obvious using abject tragedy as political campaigning. Frey is just that cynical to use tragedy to elevate his campaign, he has history doing this. they are so opportunist they couldn't resist overindulging in this. just gross www.startribune.com/jacob-frey-a...

A tournament of lies in the replies. No one can!

We're disturbingly close to the theoretical infinite forks...

Okay, so, we train humans, in various skills, then we pay the humans, in some sort of currency, to perform tasks, that produce value… Has anyone ever tried this before?

“Yesterday, the coward decided to take our 8-year-old son, Fletcher, away from us,” Jesse Merkel said. “Because of their actions, we will never be allowed to hold him, talk to him, play with him, and watch him grow into the wonderful young man he was on the path to becoming,” Merkel said.

RIP Ryan, a solid educator. I owe some of my expertise to you.

Vigil at Lynnhurst Park at 8p.m.

In elections and juries, the people still have a voice.

City of Minneapolis says the shooter is "contained" - sources tell @wccoradio.bsky.social the shooter is dead.

Bad things happen when people making decisions and don’t work on a process decided to dictate how the process should work rather than focusing on the outcomes of that process.

Ah yes, Edina, the land of highly affordable housing. Those poor folks can't afford to replace the trees they chop down for their McMansions.

In the future we should probably mail these after the challenge window / grievance period, but I guess I'm happy with this being the case that causes the MPLS DFL to realize this.

If Jazz is on a ton of ballots (don't rank Frey) is there ever a chance that Frey would eliminate before Jazz?

Hopefully fired up to primary her.

On one hand it feels like a colossal waste of time to go to the city convention, make my voice heard only to have the result invalidated. However in some twisted logic it proves that the progressive left movement is growing and has become enough to be a threat to the status quo. Keep pushing.

As if these were not good enough reasons, the surveys also kinda suck.
