So, MTG is now admitting that Trump identifying you as an enemy puts your life in danger.

The "Weather Permitting" exhibit at the Minnesota History Center chronicles the state's famously extreme weather. I loved the panels asking recent immigrants from warm countries how they adjusted to it. How can you not love this about America, man! It's so cool that people come here from everywhere!

"nostalgia" is such an over used word

Learning about the breed of sheep that has evolved to eat only kelp and can no longer abide the grass of its ancestors. Perhaps one day it will return to the sea as a cousin to the seal and the dolphin

🙄 "Supporters of the president, Masoud Pezeshkian, asked in reply: why is Europe, where women are free to expose their hair to the wind, so green? One headline read: “Why do atheist countries have more rain?” #religion #drought #climateemergency

me taking the wrong message from Hitchcock movies: “OMG how romantic would it be to meet a stranger on the train who’s willing to kill for me” “Some men can’t handle a woman with more money than them. That must be why Norman Bates is the psycho.”

Here’s a three month old screenshot of a tweet that tickled me

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.

Hollywood’s got it all wrong when it comes to remakes. The problem is they keep redoing the classics. Big mistake. They ought to go after the bad ones and make them better. Good remakes of bad movies are “Hollywood’s greatest fount of untapped potential this side of video game adaptations and […]

Doctors in China have used lab-grown insulin-producing cells to treat a woman with type 1 diabetes. The cells were made from her own tissue, reprogrammed into stem cells, and then grown into tiny clusters that release insulin. A year after the transplant, her blood sugar remains normal without […]

@lmc Ooo excitement in your neighborhood!

my husband made it so the home assistant voice assistant can use full-on ollama to interpret instructions. then he told it to turn the lights on. it's been explaining its thought process for over five minutes now and the lights are still off.

Kinda funny: was listening to a scholar of Anglo-Saxon literature talk about life in Medieval Britain, and he went on a jag about how it doesn't matter how charming thatched roofs are, they're not very effective, and they're full of bugs.

I’ve been getting a lot of Chinese spam and I know it’s spam for because nobody uses my Mandarin name other than spammers and scammers (and Chinese teachers), and I’m really enjoying saying ‘can you please speak English to me I don’t understand Chinese’ in Mandarin and then hanging up when I […]

It’s one notebook, michael, what could it cost

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally. Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

Okay, but hear me out, what if we produce an entire generation of students who are *all* the ones who did nothing in the group project?

Um, buried in the emails between #Epstein & Michael Wolff is an account of how the #Kremlin disguised a $100 million payment to #Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal. Involved in the deal were both Jeffrey Epstein & Trump’s #FHFA director #BillPulte who […] [Original post on masto.ai]

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

@kenwhite.bsky.social I live on a street in Amsterdam that’s half “apartments that were supposed to be accessible to average families but now are way too expensive” and half “welfare housing for people who will probably never have an income again” and I have to say, none of my problems in life […]

Nothing like a proposal for a modest amount of lower-income housing nearby to find out who your neighbors are.

Whatever brain genius thought up paying by cell phone in massive concrete parking ramps needs to be abandoned in the desert with no water, 5% phone charge, and zero bars of cell service. Peak web startup mentality. Great job there chief, Ruby-on-Railsing your way past EM wave propagation […]
