Unless you're white, rich, and abled, Jacob Frey doesn't care about you. (I used to think statements like that were hyperbolic.)

I started reading "Twice as Dead" by the incomperable @hntdove.bsky.social, and I'm hooked. His descriptions of a gritty 1940s Central Ave in L.A. are so vivid I can almost smell the Old Golds, hear the jazz, and feel the heat (and watch out for rat spies).

Minneapolis to Delaware/South Jersey, then a southeast swing in September of 2023. A 14 day road trip.

Sure, the news might be bad, but at least there’s a lot of it.

I nicked the very edge of a nostril while shaving and you'd think I had severed a vein. The human body is a very silly thing.

JFC

Well deserved!

Lead the charge, Lindsey.

Does anyone else get irrationally (or rationally, idk) irritated when healthcare systems refer to its users as customers rather than patients?

The weapons Israel "doesn't have".

Heck of a first full day of Spring, I tell you what.

She'll sacrifice by cutting down on the beers she pours over fans in rows below hers.

Holy shit!

You have nearly 80k followers and your most recent video has generated less than 75 likes. Maybe the problem isn't Bluesky, maybe the problem is your content.

Window Status: Wide open.

Best damn TP review on 'sky. Give 'em a follow.

Homelessness and hunger would cease to exist.

They should just 86 the entire franchise.

This is mostly why I switched to Linux quite a while ago. However, I do run Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC on a machine because it is bare Windows. No bloat, no AI garbage, no OneDrive.

Because of course. There is nothing that MPD and Jacob Frey like more than rewarding bad behavior.

Every once in a while I think of the time my wife, who had just undergone a radical hysterectomy and was going through cancer treatment, had a meeting with her supervisor who looked her in the eyes and said "There is no room for compassion in management." and I can feel the rage bubble up.

Gosh it's beautiful outside. I don't want to jinx it, so please blame me if you must, but I think actual Spring may finally be here.

"Accidentally"

"The Christmas Shoes" by NewSong

Do I need to take a marketing class to figure out what the fuck "Leave a Future" is supposed to mean?

Ope. Jake's out here cosplaying someone who actually gives a shit about the city.

Well, this is a new-to-me text scam. I obscured the QR code which resolves to a malicious phising site. Nice try, sender using a Seattle based (probably) spoofed phone number.

Narrator: "We knew that actually, there was no plan."

Can’t wait to see Greenland kick our ass in fishing

Finished "Star Trek: Star Fleet Academy" this evening. Does it have flaws? Yes, but I have thoroughly enjoyed just how different and creative it is when compared to other series in the franchise. (I though the Tarima Sadal character would grow in me, but alas. I do not like them, at all.)

Your tax dollars at work.

What if the Twelve-Mile Circle was the demarcation line between Hennepin and Anoka County rather than Delaware and Pennsylvania?

The cookies must flow.

Oh please, Star Tribune, may I have more breathless profiles of privileged high school atheletes?

L, and if that was unavailable for whatever reason, J or A.

Since it's St. Patrick's Day, and I have roughly a cup or two of Irish blood circulating in me, I'm about to make a couple of loaves of soda bread and prep to boil a ridiculous amount of corned beef, root vegetables, and cabbage.

I see many people suggesting that the 40 million dollars would be best used to support HCMC. I don't disagree! However, I offer a little perspective on just how much money that much needed institution requires: $40,000,000 is 1.21 months of payroll.

"No really! I have a girlfriend but she lives in Canada!"

Maybe, just maybe that movie you were so hyped about wasn't as perfect as you were convinced to think it was and that's why it didn't win a stupid golden trophy.

Snowflakes in 55433.

I recall we had a significant blizzard on April 14, 2018. Just sayin...

Us Upper Midwesterners really are the toughest in the nation, aren't we?

The grocery store was at regular Saturday level, not day of snowmaggedon level. I was surprised.

Who could have anticipated this? (Literally everyone except our own administration and their supporters.)

Direct result of "Second place is the first LOSER!"/only winning matters culture.

Better days
