Yes please.

As a user and supporter, it’s been my go to for a while now, it’s a lot nicer interface. I still have a Goodreads account that gets auto updated, but only because there’s a plugin for that in Calibre and I’m hopeful someone will eventually do the same for Hardcover.

I think we’re on the same page 😃 there.

I think that’s a reasonable position. I’ve seen an increase in people denying political allegory exists in speculative fiction (ex Dungeon Crawler Carl) and mocking those who identify it, that’s bonkers to me.

One can choose not to engage with it, but denying its existence for others is absurd.

We’ll take all comers. Some of us are still North Stars Fans.

I have lived nearer to the Mason-Dixon Line 2x in my life and Minnesota/Wisconsin the rest almost equally split. I 💯 did not function as well without a proper winter.

Mine too.

Nuanced take: I think it's really important to give *normal citizens* who supported Trump and off-ramp and *professional writers, pundits and politicians* who supported Trump should have to wear it like a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives

There’s a Minnesota specific flavor of the flag that seems appropriate.

Dungeon Crawler Carl* by Matt Dinniman is surging in popularity right now and 1 of the first absolutely terrible humans & minor villains in the series you meet was an ICE Agent.

* I don’t know that I can explain it without it sound like it’s absolutely crazy—which it is—but it’s also a ton of fun

I still have mine. Side note, the potato-shaped ocarina made famous by Legend of Zelda uses the same fingerings and can also be 3D printed.

Easier to fit in a pocket.

They are just overflowing with so much desperate “pick-me” energy in public. It’s sad to watch.

Actually, “misinterpreted” could have been an honest mistake. But I’m beginning to get the feeling your personal identity is getting in the way of your understanding that you were wrong. 👋

I didn’t say you were lying, I was implying you didn’t understand the methodology of the measurement.

Ideological differences in the expanse of the moral circle - Nature Communications How do liberals and conservatives differ in their expression of compassion and moral concern? The authors show that conservatives tend to express concern toward smaller, more well-defined, and less pe...

They are significantly misrepresenting the study’s results. It’s more that liberal/progressive individuals have a more universal moral circle, it strongly includes those close as well as those different. More right leaning people are more closed off.

That’s absolutely a misunderstanding of the data, kinda shows you haven’t read the results.

The outer rings encompass the inner rings, it’s how far it extends out.

Conservatives only care about those close to them, liberals extend that caring out to others as well.

I brought 2 day-old doughnuts to my aunt by boat.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'

Minnesotans won’t honk at the person who sits at the green light too long, that’s just seems too aggressive. But we sure as shit will honk to warn about upcoming dangers like dangerous ICE.

If they reply “Uff da”, especially if it’s followed with “been better” send a care package stat or start planning a rescue operation…But, I mean, don’t put yourself out, it’s no bother really.

A flag with a loon colored in the dark and light blue of the redesigned Minnesota flag. The loon has a 8 pointed star on its chest like the one on the redesigned MN flag as well. The loon is looking up with a red laser beam coming out of its eye, this has just severed the head of a snake in the style of the Gadsen flag, its body limply hanging from the loon’s beak with smoke whipping from the severed neck its head on the ground with crossed out eyes. Text at the bottom says “DONT TREAD ON US”

From a Twin Cities Facebook group:

“Hi, I’m John Scalzi, You might remember me from such bestselling novels as Old Man’s War, Redshirts, and The Kaiju Presevation Society.

Today, I’m here to tell you about something out of this world: Old El Paso Burrito Shells….”

Awooooooo

@adamfortuna.com is there a way to bulk change the editions on read books? I noticed that for my wrap up said physical books, when I read them as ebooks and forgot to change them.

Also, is there a way to set what it defaults to showing you first? Then most likely edition is the least clicks.

thx.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

After a suggestion this year I tried that with Dr Pepper too and it worked surprisingly well. Mr Pibb not so much.

I did get them from the son of a carpenter, so maybe I’m already covered ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is it weird to keep a handful of iron nails in your SHTF Go Bag with the wilderness survival supplies?

Asking for a friend.

I was down to only buying 2 exclusive ebook series on Amazon, and one of those just ended. I look forward to cutting them out completely.

Seems like he likes to stake out a new horrible position every few years. So bizzare.
