Lol at Metro Transit sending an ABRT bus (that has no fare machine) to for Blue Line replacement service, and putting a team of Trip Agents asking people if they paid their fare (which they can't, because there's no fare machine). Just stupendous communication and coordination here.

Really enjoying this UNANNOUNCED Hiawatha LRT Trail shut down, perfect topping to the shit sundae of the Blue Line shut down.

Fine nextdoor email, "My sister has been murder" is gonna get me to login. You win.

Finally, a vacuum for women

An announcement about the UPCOMING blue line shut down being immediately followed by an announcement that the blue line is shut down is not giving me a lot of faith in Metro Transit's ability to actually pull this off.

Remember the last time we did this? In 2020 when Covid first became A Thing?

You can't strike a pluralistic bargain with people who reject pluralism. You just can't. The only thing you can do is fucking hurt them until they decide that the pluralistic bargain is better than the alternative.

Steve Aoki dropped a new Cascada remix? It's 2008 all over again!

Just spent 5 minutes chatting with the sales person at MicroCenter about how great Brother printers are only to realize that I'm actually talking to an HP rep.

This would be a lot harder if podcasting wasn't such a bottom of the barrel slopfest already. Just saying.

It's super cool that I have no idea of green line trains will go to US Bank Stadium Station or not during the upcoming closure, because all sorts of different official sources give different answers

Yesterday was actually pretty good, let's hope the streak continues.

I really hate debating the associations of terms because everyone attaches their own meaning to the term and and then when one person uses it the other lays all their assumptions on it and suddenly none of these words communicate any meaning anymore.

We really needed this rain

"Setting aside that he's wrong, Kennedy makes some good points" what the hell are we even doing

Started the day off with a win. Either I've set the tone for the rest of the day, or it's all downhill from here. Only time will tell!

Nothing quite like coming back from a trip and pooping in your own toilet

The number of ads for personal injury attorneys really does not bode well for our society functioning well.

Things I didn't want to deal with tonight: 1. Stolen Blue Apron shipment 2. Sucking snot out of a clogged AC drain Things I'm dealing with tonight: See above

It's been a while, but today I'm eating my way through the fair.

I joined a subreddit for an older game that I've been playing a lot lately, and the publisher just announced a remastered edition and my god the whining. Gamers are the biggest whiny babies in the world.

Just used my last AA batteries so it's a good thing I'm going to the fair tomorrow (real ones understand)

My body is a machine that turns Taco Bell into mediocre Terraform code

I watched enough Lower Decks around my wife that she finally got hooked (after insisting she hated cartoons).

Notably, Minnesota took heavy heavy casualties in that battle. It wasn't just capture the flag, many Minnesotans died fighting off the Confederates in that battle. When we say we're never fucking giving it back, it's history written in our blood. Pete's drunken ass

As someone with adequate charging at home for my EV, the price of electricity at a public fast charger doesn't really bother me. It's like complaining about the price of a soda at the airport because I compared it to the grocery store. That's not the point! I'm traveling, it's worth it!

Met a stray cat in the backyard tonight. Gave him some food, he let me pet him, we named him Brian. And he will be MINE.

babe wake up a new woodward build just dropped

there's this obvious looming problem where LLMs can probably wipe out a lot of the entry level jobs in development and engineering in the near future, and then there's no way for people in these fields to get started, which means the mid level gets wiped out next

CPU HY VEE #1413: 551 S ILLINOIS AVE, MASON CITY IA 50401-4497

Some guy was just hanging out in my backyard playing with my garden hose. I went out and asked him what he was doing, said he was "working" like my dude I can't imagine a less believable lie.

I love when a packaged food has multiple servings and has nutrition facts per serving but also calls out the nutrition facts of the entire box. Like, yeah, we know what you are you little piece of shit, just eat the whole fucking package why don't you.

Now if I could just get some of that cool air into my house

Your silly little post or article did not "break the Internet". The Internet is actually very robust and reliable, your silly little niche thing will not break it.

Fuck it, heat advisory, wearing the blue linen pants to work today

If nothing else, a singular endorsement for a ranked choice race is just a dumb system.

Housing theory of everything remains undefeated

I'd rather gnaw off my own toes than make a Jira ticket.

We really needed this

Minneapolis 311 would be 8000% more useful if it just had an "other" category

It's me, I'm the dumbass trying to star grass seed in the middle of July

That is what Independence Day is. Not the celebration of a country already fully formed, already perfect and unchangable, or grand for its strength, but for those people who rejected tyranny; and their resolute and steely determination that a government hostile to liberty would be defeated.

America and its ideals are always worth fighting for. ❤️🤍💙

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.
