Let them fucking go! There's no state income tax, and the wealthy eat up way more municipal resources than their "patronage" ever compensates. Call their fucking bluff, cowards.

I watched the TNG episode "Inheritance" the other day, and I've never tuned on a piece of media so hard in the third act. What begins as a genuinely touching long-lost-parent story becomes a mystery. Data's "mom" is actually an android that thinks she is human. So far, so good. Solid premise...

Hey @jayapal.house.gov, get in on this, wouldja?

"When. You want. The flavor of bacon in a dip." "Joe? I'm in one of these boxes. Find me!" "East Man. He came from the east to do battle with the AMAZING RANDO!" "Science! Industry and technology! Big men putting screwdrivers onto things! Twisting them and ad-justing them!"

lol go fuck yourself. I'd rather play D&D on teams.

Motherfucking zombocom. IS NOTHING SACRED

on one hand, this is the desecration of a cultural artifact, straight to hell, etc. on the other, zombocom was a parody of peak dot com bubble. an ai guy buying it has good odds of being The Funniest Thing Ever in a year or two

The location, which was built as an Amazon distribution center, was chosen because of its proximity to railroad tracks. It can house up to 10,000 beds (not people -- beds), and will be equipped with a medical incinerator.

How does every email story have an even more sinister subhead?! Bill Gates got an STD... ...and wanted to secretly treat his wife for it without her consent Soon-Ye says #metoo went too far... ...because she thinks that 15 year old was clearly using Anthony Weiner Fuck.

"That enemy is BEAR-Y strong. Be careful, senpai!"

Headed down to the 420/69 of cities for work. I'm ready. Je ne parle pas français. Im sure it'll be fine.

lol

i don't subscribe to great man theories of history, but i find the "particular asshole" theory somewhat more compelling

That's my boy.

For chrissake, leave *something* for Maya Rudolph.

Finally reading A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court. I'm two chapters in, and convinced that this is isekai. Hanks secret talent is "guns".

If I Was A Grit Man

jeffrey epstein being the first domino for the financial crash, video game micro transactions, and Gamergate is making me lose my mind

Working in coordination with standwithminnesota.com, I’m raising rent funds for Minneapolis immigrant families in need. We now have a $5000 match offer (!) and are going to help as many families as we can to stay housed today. V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Thank you so much! 🌷

I trust Ian completely

Yikes. This ain't it @bookshop.org

Pathetic

I like these media thread things. I should do one. 2026 Ho!

D'you ever get a stupid idea in your head and then you can't do anything else until you get it out? 🎣

TIL! Neat!

IT'S HAPPENING

Literally us all day (and night, I do a 3am plate swap). Help the cause.

Wait till they find out they're never seeing a dime of those bonuses.

Things my 6yo hums to himself at the breakfast table: - Star Fox main overture - The menu music from Star Wars: Rogue Squadron - Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop) Crushing this parenting thing, y'all.

Good lord

Red Dwarf as prophecy.

"for protesters"

The notification and process for the bios setting i needed to change to install Windows 11 would have absolutely been enough to convince someone their computer was obsolete in my helpdesk days. It's such a disaster on all levels.

This photo made me understand class in America in a way that I was unable to process before seeing it. The rich enjoy class solidarity on a level that is unimaginable to most people.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

All these emails have two moments from The Wire living rent free in my head. In one, a reporter fabricates stories, but when outing him threatens the paper's prestige, erstwhile "allies" close rank with their buddies, and the BIPOC journalists that exposed the fraud are exclusively punished...

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.

Brent Spiner and Jonathan Frakes have started a podcast and the first guest is Levar Burton

For all the horror in the Epstein files, it is incredibly funny that Elon was desperately trying to ingratiate himself, and the child sex trafficker was like, "Nah. This guy is too much."

this is exactly how I imagine her

We Rate Dogs guy is a real one.

interested to learn what “at my direction” means because it sounds like “without a warrant”

I wrote a rant that addresses EVERY Seattle anti-housing "tree advocate" talking point I have ever seen. It's long but honestly not THAT long lol. I will be very, VERY happy if 5 people read it. Come be one of them :) blog.moreparksmoreneighbors.org/page/anti-ho...

No notes.

See, here I thought he was getting widespread criticism for suggesting that Tom Holman understands right & wrong, and that quietly abducting his residents in the dead of night would be hunky dory. I could be mistaken...

This is Minneapolis. Collective trauma, and neighbors helping neighbors. This is our 24/7 every day lives right now, not just a 10 second news clip.

Oh hey, speaking of Ukraine, didja know they're not sharing intel with us anymore? Cuz they caught us sharing it with the Russians? You're umpteenth reminder that The Emporor's New Tone is always an illusion.
