There's usually a cemetery still associated with the church, and probably even still has plots on reserve. So the cemetery is still maintained, and the community preserves the steeple. They did the same thing to the church I attended as a kid, here: maps.app.goo.gl/tG7R2b5sUGKA... (2/2)

For those wondering what happened, I have an explanation. Lots of rural churches NW Minnesota have closed due to aging and declining membership. In the harsh winters, they tend to fall into disrepair, and eventually need to be torn down. (1/2)

José Olivarez in defense of gold i know it's unnecessary, but hear me out: as a kid, even the gold kept in the mall was fake. chains that would leave metallic stains on our oversized white tees. when you're broke, everything you touch is artificial. our Christmas trees: plastic. puffy coats: polyester. our dreams: synthetic. we didn't come up with spinning rims: we saw it on television. hand-me-downs. one of my homies used to love saying: just cuz you're breathing doesn't mean you're alive. okay. i feel that. mouthing along to MF DOOM in my basement, i was just breathing. just playing karaoke. but let me show you some alchemy: i took the steel mill smoke, car exhaust, Kix cereal, bootleg CDs, flea market fashion, oak trees, & the real eviction warnings hanging over our heads & i spun it into something better than gold: but i still wear a gold chain around my neck. i like the weight. this life: heavier than i imagined.

I want to see her name tattooed on his neck before the end of these games.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Put giant weird puppets on the National Mall!

"Gumshoes" made me hear all of that in this woman's voice.

How To Help if You are Outside Minnesota Last edited January 22, 2026 I’m going to assume that if you’re reading this, you more or less understand the situation in Minnesota and I don’t have to explain it to you! That sa…

If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent.

And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

A lot of the media has messed up in describing all of these folks who are observing as protesters, they’re neighbors who quickly come out of their homes to document ICE presence knowing that their privilege is the only thing possibly standing in the way of a neighbor being disappeared or brutalized.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

I'm glad the birds are being protected. But I'm disappointed that the article didn't include a photo of the penguins actually forming a nice orderly queue, which would have just been adorable.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

[GRANDPA SIMPSON VOICE] 6-7?!? In my day, we only laughed at numbers that were actually funny! Like 69 and 420! And we was better for it!

One of the things I’ve said multiple times is that any number of these tech weirdos in the Bay Area could have bought the Oakland A’s and built them a stadium and become a Bay Area legend. None thought to do so because none have normal human thoughts and emotions.

Perry: How can AI be used ethically when it’s been linked to suicide? "It’s not on us, on you and me, to use AI ethically or responsibly. It’s on the companies to build safe, reliable, ethical products," David M. Perry writes.

FWIW I wrote this. I wrote it in part as a tool to use in persuasion in my own communities.

I will say it until I’m out of breath but if you’re critical of colleges offering “fake” degree programs with absolutely no intellectual rigor, start with the undergrad business degree or I’m not taking you seriously. 100% fake curriculum of airport Leadership slop.

People forget that the Star Trek future only happens after the nuclear fallout of World War III in the 21st century.

In Minnesota, we were gifted with Let's Go Crazy for exactly one season. And then they ripped it away....

I don't know who in my circle needs to hear this, but it's okay for you to not like certain albums from artists you love. Sometimes artists regress a little. The Beatles even did it (Yellow Submarine). It's okay to like earlier albums better than later ones. (My favorite is Revolver.) It's all okay.

@producermcd.bsky.social My condolences for the Mets season. I will miss you and Kris not doing a post-mortem on The Friday Show. As a suffering Twins fan, I would have appreciated some commiseration.

The bad news is that if you're reading this, we didn't get raptured. The good news is that now that some pious billionaires were surely raptured, we can just take their stuff and re-distribute it for the public good of all of us remaining, right?...Right?

O'Toole and Harris are cleaning out that whole liquor cabinet.
