The kind of pinning where I realize afterwards that basting would actually have been faster and easier.

this post deserves to be presented to you by having an index card moved down word by word with photos taken of your face after every new reveal

I had a used green screen 386 computer running windows 3.11 that I built myself from used parts. Used dialup to use my SLIP account from a local provider. Not as cool as the WELL by any means

My first full time library job in 1993 involved maintaining our Gopher page.

Last week, Denver’s mayor announced a new executive order that bans ICE agents from city property, citing the killing of protesters by federal agents in Minneapolis this year as motivation for the measure.

I saw Feast in 2023 and liked it a lot. I'm going back on 3/14 because I love Walking Shadow and because I want to see how it's changed, since everything has.

We should be so lucky as to have a corps of NHS midwives on bicycles à la Call the Midwife. But what do you do when your patient needs a transfusion or complicated surgery and ICE is the wolf at the door?!

RTFL. Read The Fucking Logs.

"The reason I wanted to make [Heated Rivalry] is because it’s a love story and it ends happily. I don’t want to traffic in queer trauma. I want to traffic in queer joy." It's been a loooong time since I've let myself trust a showrunner like this.... But Jacob Tierney, I will follow you anywhere. 🥹

Anyone have any explainers showing how much a defunded Minneapolis Police would leave for reallocation to programs that negate the need for policing? My recollection is, it's not "enough", but it's a massive start.

And Jacob Frey is going to veto it because he is not just owned by landlords, he is owned by the not-for-profit industrial complex that feeds them contracts. He is spineless, uncreative, and openly hates most of us. All of the non-local journalists who propped him up should be deeply ashamed.

Klob taking, and repeating, the words of this regime is the 87,927 reason she needs to not be governor or senator or anything in power. Also, Amy, we said abolish ice.

I have mosque watch tonight, so someone needs to be listening to the Jason Isbell concert for me.

[Exit Murderer.]

ward 9 and minneapolis as a whole are so lucky to have jason chavez. he has always been a presence in the community, and even moreso now during the ICE siege when he seems to be working nonstop to keep people safe

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

The recent advancements in HIV prevention and care are little short of astounding.

Pretty much. We might have a nice evening, but there is so much to be done.

Friends from outside Minnesota have asked me if there are celebrations in the street over Noem being fired. To anyone not in MN: no. people are still buying neighbors groceries and collecting for their rent and patrolling. If ice is abolished or trump dies, then mpls will celebrate

I've been thinking so much about Ireland during the ICE siege here in Minnesota and David, as always, puts on paper what for me was just a sort of inchoate blob of feelings. Terrific piece. (side [musical] note: listen to Kneecap on St. Pat's Day and every day)

“some noted they had lost fans and donors. There are some people who like Irish music but think ICE is just here to enforce the law. But Natalie O’Shea, executive director at Celtic Junction, told me, “To believe in laws over belief in people is to be colonized.””

Dropkick Murphys coming to town tomorrow and Jayson Tatum is back good day to be a Minnesota masshole like me.

I know of one family for sure on my block that was evicted, though I think it was a soft eviction where the landlord released them from their lease instead of filing. I can't help but wonder what the soft eviction rate is since this is hitting people who are afraid of courts.

i am sure this is done to death but

the single best roi play out there for reliability right now is get your most annoying engineer a claude max account and have them add telemetry and tests to the product for a month

This is supersessionism. Like the definitive example (not Chris. Hesgeth).

"How dare this former National Guard major" my god

Sarah McLachlan plays in the background as a montage of people posting "for the love of god, hire a fucking comms team!!" over the last three years scrolls through your timeline

Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"

A lot of people really don’t seem to understand the concept that progressive Christians do exist, they’re not that rare, and they have spent the last several decades being very mad. Very similar concept to antizionist Jews tbh

State Patrol helicopters are back today, this time over North Minneapolis. Remember in 2020 when they claimed helicopters stopped 92 carjackings, then it was revealed the Public Information Officer lied and it was 2, or maybe none? At $1000/hr, much more transparency is needed about these flights.

We get another streaming concert tonight, this time Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit.

Quick reminder that everyone already knows her replacement will be as vile and dead inside as she is. It's ok to just...savor these moments. Let yourself have it. Let everyone have it. This is joy, and it doesn't last long. Don't make it shorter.

Markwayne Mullin, set to run Homeland Security >>

Hello internet friends! I am working on a feature about the people making whistles and popup leftist supply depots and looking for people to talk to; sometimes casting a wide net yields people I haven't found yet! I am in touch with Bree and Courtney, but if YOU are a whistle logistician...

🚨🚨🚨Sunday's Emergency has been upgraded to a Level 1 (FULL ACTIVATION) DJ Emergency Ride. DJ @deveric.net will be providing the beats. @joyfulridersclub.bsky.social will be responsible for getting you home safely.

What higher praise for @seanmcarroll.bsky.social than to be on this list?

This is what Rumsfeld would call an Unnoem Unnoem

This is amazing; am watching on C-SPAN3. If she had a staff member who liked her, that person would've walked up to her 15 minutes ago to whisper in her ear to get out of there. But no one is protecting her. Any one of these attendees can break the news to her on live tv.

It's about time. But Trump's violent, cruel deportation agenda didn't begin with Kristi Noem & it won't end with her firing. We need to abolish ICE, dismantle DHS, & prosecute everyone responsible for violating our rights, bypassing due process, & killing people in our streets.

i think the natural trajectory for 3-d zeldas is a bigass fantasy city. we've done basic semi-open hyrule multiple times, we've done the ocean, we've done choochoo trains, we've done The Most Open World.... it's time for tightknit verticality and maze-like structure

"Proposed bike lane cancelled after failing to get approval from every living and deceased resident within 25 km."

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL. kristi noem is doing a live speech right now and doesn't know she was fired. 🚨

A waxed cotton chore jacket won the blue ribbon at the Minnesota State Fair this year, ijs. youtube.com/shorts/oRB0I...

In short, Kristi Noem has not succeeded in achieving dictatorial control of the population of the US via DHS. Trump is trying a new strategy aimed at the same goal. Thanks to the brave people of the Twin Cities and everyone all around the country who is fighting back. This fight is far from over.
