If they ban whistles switch to cowbells. It'll be fun for all the Gen Xers. Because we need more cowbell.

Quick iconic comic cover edit to laud Ilhan Omar.

we recognize that amazon is NOT AN IDEAL TOOL for this moment, so for those who don't want to give them money (fair!!!) please visit standwithminnesota.com and pick someone from the MANY OPTIONS. There are so many folks who need help! 💓

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

Hedy Lamarr died #OTD in 2000 at 85. In the 1940s, in an attempt to help the war effort, she quietly invented what would become the precursor to many wireless technologies we use today including Bluetooth, GPS, cellphone networks & more: frequency hopping. #WomenInSTEM

Happy 92nd Birthday to Tom Baker! #TomBaker #DoctorWho #FourthDoctor #TomBaker92

Yet another graph where you to add a "then came Reagan" data point.

One of my Facebook friends is a trans woman and a lifelong comics fans. She asked me which comics creators are allies. I want this list to be as complete as possible, so please post the names of the allies you know or know of. Thanks.

I don’t make the rules, but when it’s reposting this, I damn well follow them and YOU’D BETTER TOO. youtu.be/jPCJIB1f7jk?...

The only good thing about all this is that it has brought to my attention that the Greenland flag frickin’ rules. #Erfalasorput

Hey folks Calvary Food Shelf has been helping out people in Minneapolis for 30 years, and now they’re ramping up to meet the crisis, including doing home deliveries so people don’t have to risk going out. They’re just over halfway to their current goal—let’s get them all the way, shall we?

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Clashing paisley wall paper everywhere.

Minnesota legend Charles M. Schulz knew what made a great citizen. “Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call ‘American Virtues’ who lack this faith in our country.”

For Renee Nicole Good, for her wife, child, city, country, and every person she died to protect... it's fundraiser time. I'm giving $1 to Community Aid Network MN for each repost this gets. AND $1 for each new follower I get. And if YOU donate to Community Aid Network MN, tell me and I'll match it.

Somewhere in an attic is a portrait of this country getting smarter.

ICE has killed more people since Trump took over than Undocumented people have in the last ten years.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

I just canceled my Hilton Honors Membership. They did not bother to ask why.

The best way to assess AI is to give it a task to do something that you are an expert in, then review the output. Don't try to judge it based on how well it seems to do things you are not comfortable doing yourself.

I'm breaking this tab so I can recorder over this tape.

Only by prosecuting these folks will we get out of this mess. And that's not in 2028. Start now. Prosecute ICE in every state for every crime. Arrest them for jaywalking if you have to. Prosecute Musk in Wisconsin. Offer rewards for whistleblowers from Trump crony state crimes. Go all out.

Look, we gave it a shot, we did our best, but let's just admit to each other that its not working and cut our losses before things get even worse. It's now 2027.

Years ago, Rose Tyler did a search for "The Doctor" and didn't get two pages of random Doctors before finding relevant info. I think about this when I make searches that fail to know what I'm talking about

Hey @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social...

Name your fav show that was cancelled too soon: Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies, I would have liked a whole season of Firefly to decided if it needed more seasons. I'll agree with Class, I'm confident that there are many more that I'm not thinking of.

When they talk about the good old days, there is one part I wouldn't mind going back to.

As my wife Lj just noted, Death got to mark a long-overdue collection off his schedule today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9pa...

Happy New Year, everyone! 💫

Hi, I'm trusting a teenage driver I just met.

USAID in 2024 cost $21.7 billion - a two percent wealth tax on earnings above $100 billion would cover it and cost less than their wealth increased.

@gregdoucette.bsky.social cops are great or guillotines ?

See why do we have to have like bigots and Nazis and hating other people for stupid ass reasons when I just looked at my planet from the surface of another planet and I don't even have shoes on. I'm in Soft House Clothes and slippers looking at my planet on my phone. What.

If we lived in a just media landscape, this would now be a trilogy.

How I am walking into 2026.

Those expirations are rookie numbers

I think there really needs to be better terms for & differentiation between genAI / chatbots / LLM’s etc. & AI processing for pattern recognition in particular (engineering, medical research) industries. I think it’s been intentionally confused by the marketing & language around it.

Oh no! Poor baby...

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

Timeline cleanse. Looking far outside myself for some holiday cheer. With that face? Found some!

You want to mess with an entity who can travel around the entire world in one night and enter any dwelling at will? Eh. Humans. No sense.

You shouldn't use an axe to try to do surgery. Reducing staff that aren't needed is reasonable. Firing people before you know what they do is bad.
