3. So this was an easy rule change for two reasons.

One, the purpose of sweeping should be to stretch a rock further and straighter. A sweeping technique that makes a rock *slower* or *curl MORE* seems fundamentally Un-Curling.

Secondly it just looks fucking stupid.

If the same people who brought you a "Jackie Robinson MLB controversy" and a "Sidney Poitier Oscars controversy" are now bringing you a "Bad Bunny Super Bowl controversy" you really need to examine who's deciding what's "controversial"

i forget who made it but it cracks me up lol

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Made my wife an omelet. She still thinks I'm the greatest chef ever 😁

February 7th, 2025 in Billings: low of -1°, high of 10°, 9" of snow on the ground.

Republican voters bought the "Joe the Plumber" scam in 2008 so no surprise they fall for this scam as well

If you’re in the Epstein files, you should lose your job, your wife, and your comfy life. You should be castigated by society and spend your days in prison, being trotted out once a day so the public can boo you to your face.

All of us every day now 😕

Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

The part that sticks with me is not even his racist post. It’s how fast so many people rush to protect him from responsibility. They told on themselves.

The benefit of the doubt appears instantly. The excuses appear instantly.

He never earns that grace. It just shows up on demand.

Can also confirm that NDSU has been in meaningful talks with the Mountain West for the last few weeks. Dunno if it gets done this weekend or not, but the financial situation for NDSU has certainly changed compared to like, four months ago. They found *money*

Racist garbage continues to emanate from this President and his White House.

So smooth. Every Thursday I send 70/80s songs to my brothers and some friends. Been doing it for years. This is on the list to send

The highlight of the “athletes pronouncing their names for the Olympics website” is American alpine skier Mary Bocock, who clearly agrees it’s a pretty funny name

Was driving my kids to school and the first thing on the radio was reporting about Trump's video depicting the Obamas as apes and I think many people still don't fully appreciate what it means to have to raise Black children in a country where the president is so brazenly and consistently racist

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The vile video is racist. Period. And it came from a racist White House. If you can't say that, what are we doing here.

From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X)

"Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

If I had to give one piece of relationship advice to young women who are attracted to men, it would be to only date men you think would be fine with you making more. Nothing wrong with him making more or even you being a stay at home mom. But if he'd be triggered by you making more, he's a loser.

Mina Kimes: "It's pretty cool that my son and millions of other sons are turning on the TV and think it's normal for a woman to be talking about football behind a desk" ❤️

Our neighbor had their lawn power raked 2 days ago here in Billings. Just nuts!

I'm not speechless
Fuck these people!!!

the Swiss mixed doubles curling team is married and when their game ended the Peacock stream just showed them playing with their Curling Baby for like 5 minutes with the Olympics music playing

FINNEAS defends sister Billie Eilish amid online backlash over her anti-ICE comments at GRAMMYs:

“Seeing a lot of very powerful old white men outraged about what my 24 year old sister said during her acceptance speech. We can literally see your names in the Epstein files.”

Ok I'm ready
OK I'm ready
Ok, I wasn't ready
