These are going to come for the left too. They financially motivated — Macedonian teenager type stuff for the AI era. Scammers profiting off of easily enraged people. MAGA may be more susceptible to ragebait but worth understanding what’s going to happen in 2026 and 2028.
Pete designs great jerseys and you should buy one, especially if, like I was, you are trying to replace your incredibly cursed Jimmy Butler Timberwolves jersey

Look, if you write a horror book about clowns-as-a-species, people will read it
Well not quite, version 2 will have blue eyes
According to wikipedia this was the first plant to develop glyphosate resistance. I think I feel a little proud of it? Good work little buddy, you’re doing it.
That’s just a lil treat for a job well, done
Iconic that NASA woke up the #Artemis II crew with Pink Pony Club
despite what these Heritage foundation goons say, the writers of the 14th knew quite a bit about immigration! (Which “illegal”, because they *wanted* international migrants). Like 5% of the US pop had come from Ireland alone in the previous 2 decades, & the 14th retroactively gave them citizenship
Not to mention, history is complex and no era or congress was a monolith of ideas! And it’s not like they consult historians in their arguments anyway.
These clowns promote originalism (trying to interpret the law in its historical context) because they believe that those historical contexts were more explicitly white supremacist. In this instance it is explicitly the opposite and immediately they abandon originalism.
Very cool! thank you, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
These are incredible, thanks for sharing!
Also, you might know the answer to this: the only times I have seen a woodcock (3) have been during or right after a big snowfall. Is there a behavioral explanation for this, or is it their sudden poor camouflage in snow?
I once was tutoring an 8th grader, helping him improve his writing for English class. The teacher had gotten sick of giving feedback on his writing mistakes and told him to “just use grammarly”.
So just like most other AI ed. integrations, grammarly is a tool to rob kids of their education.
These are the 4 things AI can do well:
•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday
You can see why we need to base our economy around it
Is this what the mean by “the godhead”?
"I fear some [council members] are indifferent." Have you paid someone's rent, organized a fundraiser, gone on patrol, found someone an attorney, done someone's laundry, delivered groceries, held a baby of someone sheltering in fear? "If not you may be too far removed to have good judgment."
Picture from a neighborhood “buy nothing” group: two long thin knives each stabbed into a dense rubber ball. Caption on the picture says “Give: pair of ‘bongers,’ used for self massage.”
Bongers
Can there be a Masked Singer element to it, where some of the mascots are revealed to be, like, Amen Thompson or Kel Mitchell?
It’s day 72 of the ICE occupation of MSP.
We received some DMs after yesterday’s post asking how to help with rent relief: check out the rent relief funds at StandWithMinnesota.com
I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
If you insist on donating it to a political candidate for some reason, then I would suggest literally anyone who has shown themselves worthy of the moment instead of that cynical cvs receipt
On a moral level, if you have $200 budgeted and you are deciding between AK and helping your besieged neighbors then all of it should go to your besieged neighbors.
Imagine living in MN right now, having $100 free to donate, and deciding that Amy Klobuchar’s campaign is the best use of your funds.
Tide might be turning. Keep pushing. Keep calling, donating, protesting, all of it. Don’t stop, especially if Trump starts throwing them overboard. Don’t stop until they’re all gone
In the last months especially I’ve had pretty constant undercurrents of rage and grief in me. Sometimes when it feels too much I hop in my car and listen to music from artists like Billy Bragg, & it feels a little more conquerable.
Anyway, he just wrote a song about Minneapolis.
Thank you, Billy.
The Phillips neighborhoods are being targeted because it has the highest percent of residents who are not US Citizens. This fund will help feed, provide basic necessities and allow our immigrant neighbors to stay housed for 65+ families (and counting).

you have no idea how stressed people are about keeping the roofs over their heads that are keeping them (relatively) safe.
