If it wasn't for that legal dept, Kia Sorento would be a killer Star Wars name.

They are in downtown St Paul at this very moment casing restaurants that close soon and the 3 hospitals.

Observer friend was followed home into downtown by 2 confirmed ICE plates this morning. Took her pic and drove away, didn't hide it.

This ain't over at all.

i feel like we really should have been prepared for chatgpt considering how often "get emotionally invested in a magical talking object that then prompts you to do evil" comes up in fiction and shit

Read this thread - absolutely cosigned, all of it.

One of my biggest complaints about how we teach the history of atrocity is that we call the people who commit them "monsters."

Their actions are monstrous - but the most important takeaway is that they were overwhelmingly /regular people/.

Community meme: I CAN EXCUSE FASCISM. BUTI DRAW THE LINE AT MERCANTILISM.

The Supreme Court:

Having All Your Laundry Done voted one of the best feelings of all time for the 100th year in a row. unfortunately Actually Doing Laundry voted one of the worst, yet again

In my six years of working tangential to law enforcement, I will tell you the united states postal inspector service is the only agency I respect. FBI is like "and then the bad guy spotted us because we drove to the wrong house" and USPIS is like "we identified them bc they bought a specific stamp"

There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

The Left Doesn't Hate Technology, We Hate Being Exploited Techno-cynics are all just wounded techno-optimists.

SO GOOD! "the idea that my political ideology is synonymous with hating technology is confusing. Every leftist I know has a hard-on for high speed rail or mRNA vaccines. But the “left is missing out” blog positions generative AI as the only technology that matters." -- @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social

Theyre transvestigating generative AI on twitter dot com (im the first person in my bloodline to utter such a sentence)

“Oooo candy.”

No, honey, no. Those are offerings for The Buddha.

“But…”

No, you can’t eat The Buddha’s candy.

“But *he’s* not eating it!”

He sort of is.

“You said he died and stopped existing and won’t be reborn. So…”

Buddha eats the spirit of the candy.

“Candy doesn’t have a soul, Daddy.”

“Make bad game? Fired. Make good game? Fired. Make incredibly successful game? Believe it or not, also fired.” Original source of meme is from Parks and Recreation.

the video game industry is a mess

The only “commonsense reform” of a force empowered to murder is abolition and prosecution

"this is a trans-inclusive restroom" this is a single stall bathroom that's existed since probably 1990 but thanks I guess

about an hour left and $15-20 minimum needed to get anything to eat tonight and the lack of food is starting to show up in my heart rate lol, so anything helps 💞

one reset I'd personally appreciate: behind the insistence that we must offer the electorate a little bigotry is the idea that commoners are more bigoted than the richer and more educated, who can be appealed to with high minded policy. but then you Ctrl+F "phrenology" in the Epstein files

Everyone who thinks that adopting a centrist position nearly identical to that of a Republican will reach a swing voter (which, Max is right, is the worldview of a certain generation of consultants who came up during the Clinton era) has not talked directly to any swing voters in the last decade

Come, Sir Andrew, there’s no remedy

Oh, the grand old duke of york

Librarian here. We grant library cards to ALL residents, no matter their age or legal status. Our ID requirements pertain to establishing residency only. Do not invoke libraries, which embrace *everyone* in its civic fold, as a precedent for measures designed to *suppress* civic participation.

If the motherfucking KING OF ENGLAND is willing to have his own brother arrested because he's a pedo, whomever is running in the midterms and in 2028 needs to bring fire and brimstone for EVERYONE in the files. Charles himself realizes how important this is! This is not an extreme position!

“Not to be confused with dingus or dingbat”

Wikipedia entry for dinkus In typography, a dinkus is a typographic device or convention that typically consists of three spaced asterisks or bullet symbols in a horizontal row, e.g.   ∗ ∗ ∗   or   • • •  . The device has a variety of uses, and it usually denotes an intentional omission or a logical "break" of varying degree in a written work. This latter use is similar to a subsection, and it indicates that the subsequent text should be re-contextualized. Such a dinkus typically appears centrally aligned on a line of its own with vertical spacing before and after the device. The dinkus has been in use in various forms since c. 1850.[1][2] Historically, the dinkus was often represented as an asterism, ⁂, though this has fallen out of favor and is now nearly obsolete.

perennial reminder that this typographic thing:

* * *

is called a "dinkus"

I do think it’s funny that the USA broke from England to get rid of the monarchy so that no one would be above the law and yet only one of these countries has arrested a senior political figure in relation to Epstein and it wasn’t the USA

Watching the rest of the world's leaders face consequences

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

And you know why?

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.

It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Hey friends, August needs some funds to get to the doctor on Friday. If he misses this appointment he loses his home health aide.
