But these last few months have been tough financial times for both businesses and individuals in Minneapolis. And these side gigs while he continues to look for new employment aren't meeting needs. Please help him catch up, so this family can get back on their feet. gofund.me/01d01038a

Hassan is the child of immigrants, 3rd oldest of 10 kids. He's married with a daughter who turns 1 at the end of this month. He's the first person in his family to attend college and worked as a mental health practitioner for the last few years but was laid off and getting by on Uber and Amazon.

Many families in Minneapolis are still dealing with the financial fallout of ICE -- lost jobs, lost wage-earners, lost safety. I'm reaching out today for help for one such family, neighbors who are two months behind on rent and trying to pull themselves back on their feet: gofund.me/bc33fbcb6

My 3yo once did the same thing, loudly, in the middle of my cousin’s Catholic wedding

The other one was even more convoluted. Fametracker was a website of snarky celebrity posts. We were the off-topic board in the Fametracker forums. The community had almost nothing to do with Fametracker content. One year we all made each other mixCDs. I still have two.

One message board was an msn community you could sign up for when you joined hotmail. Called Bolt. A bunch of ravers took over the board there for the county of Tonga. We thought this was very clever at the time.

I have multiple friends whom I met 25+ years ago on random message boards. Some I have never met in person.

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

I only noticed because man 3 and man 4 felt like a challenging “find the differences” puzzle

Remember when the black bear showed up rambling through Near North and the cops had to drive around behind it with a bullhorn?

Living in North, near the Mississippi, bald eagles are almost just, like, whatever normal neighborhood bird. When my kids were small, there was one that liked to sit in a tree on my alley, staring at them as they walked to the bus stop.

Better things ARE possible! (But please don't eat my kids)

You've been wanting a job for 40 years and then landed on your face when finally taking the position?

Dare I even ask why the crochtal area gets tighter in the shorts on men 3, 5, and 6? Does the person who made this think muscles make your dick bigger? And, if so, why is man #4 not got the stretched creases in his pants?

I used to have a catbird

You guys! The Extremely Loud Morning Birds are back! We are gonna make it, you guys!

This means we have to pay an upcharge for it, right?

If you need me, I’ll just be here staring into the middle distance with a furrowed brow, contemplating

These seem like such reasonable career paths!

What do you mean you don’t have fond childhood memories of building a fort deep in the overgrown Christmas tree forest, decorating it with feet-shaped shag rugs scavenged from the old chicken roost, and hanging out in it while the semi-feral ponies wandered around you?

Forgot to add “late in life auction addict”. When he died, every outbuilding on the property was full to bursting with non-functional tractors, bulk cases of Wendy’s cups, and at least one barrel of glitter.

When you write it all out like that, Grandpa Koerth sounds about as eccentric … as he actually was. Yes. Hopefully, this will resonate with my constituents.

Every time I think I’ve seen a Temu ad for the Thing I Would Be Least Likely to Buy From Temu … along comes another ad to surprise me. Today: Temu beginner aerial kit.

I have adapted
the poem
that you wrote
like a hundred years ago

and which
you were probably
thinking
was exclusively about plums

Forgive me
it was low-effort
so reusable
and arguably funny

So my question about this: How many times does there have to be extremely obvious insider trading on Polymarket before people stop betting against shit like this? Like, if you place this kind of bet, don't people have to disagree and bet against you for you to make money?

That feels more like a "beg forgiveness" thing.
