Someone’s got a serious case of the Mondays

One of my most deeply held beliefs is that refusing to name truth makes you stupid--literally degrades your intellect.

They really have no fucking idea what is coming. No fucking idea.

I went to the Coke Museum in Atlanta at a formative age. They were freestyling there way back in the 90s, and it *changed* me.

Something tells me both Ryan and I have both had an ice cold cup of that Freestyle cherry Diet Coke and it’s no wonder Sinners was my fave movie of the year 🥹✨

YouTube video by NBC10 Philadelphia Philly DA vows to prosecute ‘wannabe Nazi' ICE agents who violate the law

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States."

LOL - the fragility!!! Meets a few sane women and runs back to his car screaming “commies!!!!”. 🤣

If you're from outside MN and feel weird about sending a "Hope you're okay!" text to someone here, don't. Haven't talked since high school? Ex-coworker from 6 years ago? Already sent one a week ago? Doesn't matter.

Every time I get one it's a big relief that people are paying attention.

LOL - so I made a post in a (large) industry-wide FB forum reminding people to check TikTok's TOS, and OOOooo did THAT chap a lot of asses.

The *feelings* people are having over there are very telling. Immediately gives you a REALLY good idea of the people who care about privacy or...🫠. FUCK META

Definite uptick in Bluesky content aggregators taking legit clips regarding Minnesota from a few days or weeks ago and posting them without any sort of timestamp context, which gives the impression of them happening today, which then gets clicks. Be vigilant with what and how you share.

Thanks for drawing attention to this. It's harmful to our local communities, and anyone following these accounts should be warned, sharing these does a disservice to on-the-ground responders, people in our neighborhoods living in fear, and anyone trying to parse reality from fiction.

TFW when you post about reusing a word/phrase, then immediately do it again in a poorly-worded sentence.

Sorry folks, my brain is mushy today 🫠 (but my original point stands!!).

This is hard core and I like it. ❤️

I re-used a word in this OG post and it's making me nuts 😅

Nevertheless! Delete those Meta accounts if you can. And if you can't, share this reminder on all those crap sites as you can. We've been accepting this shit for a long time. It's part of the problem.

I am forced to keep a Facebook profile because I'm in a group that still uses that site to provide important, timely info for my industry + the forum is important.

But good lord. From what I'm seeing in this (should be reputable!!) FB group lately, reading comprehension is plummeting by the day.

From their Facebook message:

"* Paying it forward or donating via Venmo
- **@chaijxiong** (J in the middle, phone #0324)
- We deliver food to a family in need"

Good to have more context, thanks

Oh my godddddd that's amazing

Damn. Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo @ Northrop has been postponed. Totally understandable, but I'm sad about it. 😔

Queen Pumpkin has seen some things - those eyes 😆😭

A lot of people miss James Turrell's "Sky Pesher" installation that's built right into the hillside beside the Walker Art Center.

Great spot to go for a breather - heated seats, soft color-changing light, nice & quiet with a beautiful view of the sky.

I *think* it's open from 6 am–midnight.

Haha - that's a reaction I *did* inherit from my Norwegian gran. But it comes in fits and starts - yesterday was a "guess it's time to do these 10 loads of laundry, clean the carpet, mop the floors, and wash every window" kind of day.

Hell yeah! Today's menu: Potatoes...12 different ways!

Cuddling cats and books are ALWAYS good - keep at it!

I am jealous of the people who, in times of great stress, are inspired to begin dead-lifting, join a muay-thai club, start a healing yoga practice, or train for a marathon.

Literally all I want to do right now is eat full loaves of bread and endless pasta bowls.

This feels like a rebus puzzle

Ha - here from St. Paul ❤️😭 Double-thanks for the diversion, Ernie (and be safe, neighbor Kim ❤️)

I took a few hours off, but are we really at “banning whistles, but not banning guns”?!

🤣😭

Goddamn.

Everything is ridiculous.
