“Proving you deserve a job” is always wild framing to me because do y’all need help or not?

One fun thing about me that I just this second learned is that I have never seen a Martin Scorsese movie.

Literally nothing has happened since I tuned in. Before I tuned in, there were seven goals and two game misconducts. Apparently.

This reporting is excellent... and pretty shocking.

This is obviously insane, but also, if you read the article, there's absolutely zero chance he's getting all that money. The biggest payouts are performance-based and the benchmarks are, uh... a mite unrealistic.

For credibility. Nobody's gonna trust a dudebot.

Just got home from work and flipped on the game partway through the second period, and I see I somehow missed 27 goals on zero shots.

First performance in over a year where the dress code is concert black starts in just under 90 minutes, so it's time to play every former full-time musician's favorite game: where is my concert black?

A reminder that if you are called to be part of a jury in a political prosecution you have a right to refuse to convict on the grounds the prosecution is unjust. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I find it hard to imagine Beyoncé being anything other than bored/irritated with my presence.

There needs to be a special higher level of not guilty for cases like this. Like, we the jury find the government owes the defendant and every member of the jury an all-expenses paid weekend in Cabo for even making us come in here.

there's definitely an essay in this, about how this entire generation of right wingers have spent their entire career smashing the drywall and kicking the legs out from under polite society, seemingly so sheltered that they honestly never considered that it might end up affecting them too

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

I know Adam McKay's "Vice" is divisive but I thought it did a really good job of addressing this seeming complexity in Dick Cheney's character and why it doesn't actually make him a complex person, which I wrote about in 2019 www.themarysue.com/vice-movie-d...

I don't want to alarm anybody, but we've just had our first confirmed snowflakes of the year up here at Apple Hill.

Republican voters solemnly posting about how sad it is that their neighbors hate their guts is so funny - yeah man, that's what you've been thumping your chest about for two years, the thing you wanted to happen happened

Imagine being a parent so brain-poisoned by online lunatics that you go to *multiple courts* demanding the right to show up at children's sporting events to humiliate and demean kids you find to be insufficiently female.

lol

You can’t gleefully cheer on the demonization and firing of civil servants in the place they all live then be upset that your neighbors don’t care if you live or die. Vogt said he wanted government employees scared to go to work, this is the political environment they built.

One thing that's important to keep top of mind is that they did this on purpose. The economy was humming, unemployment was at a near-all-time low, and the people running this country went NOPE, CAN'T HAVE THAT.

People will be mad at me for saying this, but I think we have to do it. Nothing is more important for the future of this country, and indeed humanity, than the app that makes you schizophrenic and helps you forget how to learn. The juice is worth the squeeze.

[weird friendless asshole who is on social media for the sole purpose of fighting with strangers] I'm here to have conversations and if these people who are here trying to make silly little jokes with their friends don't understand the spirit of debate in a public square that's on them

The manosphere bros are freaking out.

guys I’m sorry but have you looked through Getty images for yesterday 💀

I discovered non-alcoholic Stella Artois a few weeks back, and on the one hand I've never been happier, but otoh do I need *more* ways to fatten myself up

Vincent Adultman-ass administration.

Flying Squirrel Loves It Every Time

Ah, shit, Minneapolis, I'm sorry.

Honestly, the most beatable thing about these assholes continues to be that, as soon as they win an election, they think they can go full-on hoods-off gutter racist and have every other white person stand up and cheer. And most white people don't actually like to think of themselves as Klansmen.

Vincent Adultman-ass administration.

“What are we gonna do?” “The same thing we always do. We’re going to say that crime is up 834%”

I've begun to think of the entire Trump II administration as a Word doc with track changes activated.

I had no idea Montreal is building an electric, automated street-rail system.

I’m not saying @wedge.live is the one to write it, but I’m not not saying that.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Someone remind me what the deal was with that one electoral vote for John Edwards in Minnesota? I was there, I should remember this, but I don't.

in my heart I know that Lin-Manuel Miranda wants to play Zohran Mamdani on SNL so bad it physically hurts him

From 2019 onwards, you say. How mysterious.

My childhood school district 💕

New favourite example of structural ambiguity

the entire twitter and group chat poisoned elite of American society who decided Trump winning an election by 1.5% heralded a thousand year reich may have miscalculated a bit

If he does pull this out, there's a book to be written about how he and his cronies transformed one of the most democratically engaged cities in America into a bitter, cynical place where a widely despised mayor can somehow magically win three terms.

one thing that other candidates need to learn from mamdani is how to deliver the most cold blooded attacks on an opponent with a smile on your face

Absolutely huge result.

This was officially the strangest winning campaign of the night.

What I am learning from searching "Frey" right now is that a huge percentage of Minneapolis still has no earthly idea how RCV works.

This isn't an impressive stat, I have won more votes than there are people in South Dakota in a workplace union committee election.
