Re-centering life in the USA away from cars may be the biggest challenge we face as a country but I think getting people passively OUT of cars and actively INTO their community/local spaces is a crucial step going forward in shaping who we are as a nation.

The OG example of what I refer to as the “HOA Park Board,” where interests of (mostly rich) homeowners are elevated over the public good. This is why the DFL endorsed Park Board candidates need your support; current crew (and designated successors) is too beholden to private interests & their $.

South Minneapolis friends I need recommendations for a new Vet for my very sick I who gets pancreatitis from time to time. My current vet does not take my pet’s condition seriously enough and demands up $1K for blood and X-rays for their preexisting condition to “confirm” pancreatitis.

JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip Exclusive: Incident raises questions of exploitation of public services, but Secret Service says it was requested for ‘safe navigation’ Stephanie Kirchgaessner and David Smith Wed 6 Aug 2025 17.46 EDT Share JD Vance’s team had the army corps of engineers take the unusual step of changing the outflow of a lake in Ohio to accommodate a recent boating excursion on a family holiday, the Guardian has learned. The request from the US Secret Service was made to “support safe navigation” of the US vice-president’s security detail for an August outing on the Little Miami River, according to a statement by the US army corps of engineers (USACE). Vance was spotted in the south-western Ohio area on 2 August, his 41st birthday, according to social media posts that noted he was seen canoeing on the river, a tributary that Caesar Creek Lake feeds into. One source with knowledge of the matter who communicated with the Guardian anonymously alleged that the outflow request for the Caesar Creek Lake was not just to support the vice-president’s Secret Service detail, but also to create “ideal kayaking conditions”. The Guardian could not independently confirm this specific claim.

What good is being VP if you can't abuse your power to have the Army Corps of Engineers making your kayaking trip more ideal by changing the waterflow of a lake?

Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.

I’m guessing Chinese Theater had rotating premieres though vs other theaters and chains. The sign on the building is 50th anniversary which would put it in 1977 still

Without any research, I'd guess this is from the holiday re-release toward the end of the year.

I had two 5-year-olds chasing me at a kids’ birthday yesterday, and I threw on the brakes, gave them a little juke, and then hit the gas, and they collided with each other where they thought I was going to be and went down in a crying heap. Absolutely cooked their asses. One of the kids was mine.

I’ve only ever heard the stories about how they didn’t have the toys for Christmas because they didn’t realize how popular the movie was going to be so this is kind of baffling. And “May the Force Be With You” was opening day movie promo?

Are these actually from the premiere? How were kids already wearing Darth Vader T-shirts and Rebel Alliance belt buckles? Was there that much groundswell and merch on hand before the movie came out?

The blocking of this shot looks like it’s out of a musical number.

Well, everything. The death of art. [Laughs.] A thing that I’ve been struck by in the last year of tech development around art is that what makes us human is making art, even if you’re not a professional artist. This is kind of corny, but I think about cavemen, right? One of the first things we ever did as a species was put our handprints on a wall, and it’s just this drive that has always been there. It’ll always be there. And I think it’s preposterous that these people are suggesting that they develop this technology, and the first thing they want to eliminate is art, so you have more time to…what, email? I don’t know what they think I’m going to do with my fucking day. Most of the population is not artists, but a lot of the population has artistic hobbies, and if you replace that with a computer doing it for you or whatever, it’s just pointless. I think there’s a death drive in these people, almost, and an actual hatred of artists; they are jealous of people with imagination because they don’t have one, and they almost consciously want to eliminate it.

There is a weird twist in the story of Donald Trump's false anecdote about his uncle and the Unabomber. It involves the possibility that Trump confused his own relative with his close friend, Jeffrey Epstein.
