It isn’t talked about enough in mainland US how bad Maria was on PR. Their grid was decimated and the Trump admin provided ZERO relief. Areas went w/o power for years. Through resilience, will and creativity Puerto Ricans rebuilt it mostly w/o mainland US help.

GM: that’s a d6 how did you

Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.

Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

-18°F is no-good weather, but it is good for making clear porch ice.

It is tough here right now in Minneapolis but Greg Bovino crying to the paper about how he’s getting his ass handed to him by plant sale moms has been a real pick me up

Detailed local coverage of what is going on here. Shame on any politician not denouncing this.

ICE are paid agitators.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

At more length, I’ve found this to be good: www.vam.ac.uk/blog/wp-cont...

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't. By magicmosshka, yesterday's

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

Ah, see it now!

This makes me want to get stoned and stare at that H for two hours

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Spent the day leafing through early 20th c architectural working drawings at the Northwest Architectural Archives at the U of MN for my lettering research.

All the centers they’re cutting add up to less than $7 million in spending.
