CBS NEWS headline: Cyclist falls down 130-foot ravine in France, survives 3 days by drinking wine he had in shopping bag

CNN headline: Stranded and injured, he drank his own urine to survive in the wild. Here's how an American hiker made it home

The difference between the French and Americans in two headlines. 😆

Sorry @alecluhn.bsky.social

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

That's not funny.

[wanting] oh, I see.

This will only result in the very best good things for humanity.

YouTube video by IGN Halo: Campaign Evolved - Official Reveal Trailer

I'm guessing here, but I suspect it came about because Microsoft released a trailer this week for the reboot of the original Halo. My 15yr old told me about it, so 12yr old administration theory holds up well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMGJ...

Just re-upping this one for no congressional reasons.

This is one of the most important threads I’ve seen in a long time. It’s almost a syllabus for a class that should be required for graduation at any university. I can’t tell you how blind most CEO/CTOs are to how far removed from the infrastructure they designed/bought and ran just 15 years ago.

[frontline narrator] his poll numbers were the worst they’d ever been, and worse than any president’s since polling began.

Ellis Marsalis is on my list

I'm donating to my local food bank. They're very efficient with $0.98 of all donations go to providing food services.

Does congress have any oversight authority over privately funded military actions. More importantly, how long will the courts take to resolve this type of question if it comes about from accusations of criminal activity or violence?

Picture of Disney+ on a TV with rocky horror picture show featured across the top 2/3 of the screen

I cancelled our Disney+ subscription, but we have it for a while longer. I was pleasantly surprised to see this when I launched it tonight. Oh, hello Tim. 😁 (forgot picture before 🙄

Does Charity work in private banking at Deutsche Bank?

Why on earth do people think they will ever fund the government again? This is a serious question. What specific part of their stated political agenda includes keeping the existing government functions operating. OTOH, how much of Project 2025 blueprint was about eliminating gov't and oversight?

Anyone else suspect we demolished part of the WH, to build a ballroom, because the Demander in Chief is happiest in a tacky Florida ballroom listening to wedding DJ's while having people kiss his ass and offer him bribes in person? Grift themed nightclub.

Curious how many homes are cabins, second, third properties, rental properties.

But not necessarily in that order

He means enough income to get high. Once. Although to be fair, his idea of the cost to get high may actually be a higher than the median US income.

Exactly! A scheme my dad would love “I cut you choose” 😁

There was an excellent districting scheme developed a few years ago that solves most gerrymandering problems. The minority party draws 2x the districts needed, and the majority party can combine any 2 adjacent districts to form the final map. There are some other rules but it’s pretty solid and fair

This effectively guarantees I’ll be at the next one as well.

Minneapolis startribune Sunday paper State/Reigion section covered the protests .

The state/region section covered the #NoKings protests, but the story missed the key point that the number of meaningful turnout events across not just major cities, but at the neighborhood level as well happened across the nation.

Front page of Minnesota startribune Sunday paper for Oct 19 2025 with top two stories about e-bike crash dangers and water quality restoration in a MN lake. There is a small story in the bottom right corner below-the-fold on the growing impact of the shutdown.

Today’s front page is why I just canceled my subscription to the @startribune.bsky.social

I drove past a quarter mile of 3 deep protesters along both sides of a road in my own neighborhood to get to one of the biggest rallies in Minneapols in recent years. Here is the Sunday paper:
