Last night at a house party, someone asked me whether I believe in miracles, so I told her I believe in quantum entanglement, which satisfied her.

The problem with responding to your DMs is once you do it everybody sends back even more messages that you now have to respond to.

I think folks who experience nostalgia for a lot of things likely had a very different first couple decades than I did.

I have decided I might as well eat as many avacados as possible.

Adult dreams just get more and more mid

Went to sleep with a sink of dirty dishes.
Had a dream an unknown person ran the dishwasher overnight.
A morning of disappointment.

Pro tip: Do not breathe while eating carrots or you might inhale some carrot

English Major problems.

Have been using "---" in place of actual em dashes so that folks don't assume I am using AI to write the way I normally write.

I can't wait to be able to retire. 🙃

This.

Your job as a cyber professional is to impress upon everyone around you how cool your job is and how desperately they need you despite it being beep boops

Men reacting to the Manosphere documentary are suddenly realizing how dangerous red pill content is because a man is showing them it is and it's not the thousands of women who have been pointing it out for a decade.

I struggle with virtually all media being on-demand these days, because it adds an extra executive function task in front of TV watching that I just tend to avoid and as a result just don't watch things. #ADHDProblems #XennialProblems

individually wrapped ongiri rice balls in my refrigerator

Onigiri feels like a meal/snack prep hack. Minimal effort to make, tasty convenience food all week. I put tuna in the middle of this batch.

Sometimes I get bummed out that I am a mammal but then I remember that a duck-billed platypus is also a mammal.

Every thought you have doesn't belong on the Internet.
Most thoughts you have don't belong on the Internet.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

The hat makes it fancy!

I'd watch it 😁

Me: imagining your new social media video series "Talking to Kiwis about American stuff"

Every time I talk to someone outside of Minnesota, we always spend time on *really* basic things they have don’t understand about what is happening here.

So let’s do a Q&A. What are your most basic questions about what’s going on in Minnesota?

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

I heard those buildings were colloquially called "the crack stacks" ~40 years ago which sounds like some racist bullshit but I don't disbelieve it. And it definitely wouldn't make sense for today. I got nothing

I have lived in Minneapolis for 20 years and this post is the first time I have ever heard it called that.

Somebody on our enormous #TwinCitiesGeeks Facebook group pointed out how the group spontaneously switched to "Rebellion mode" as if the 30,000+ members had been watching Star Wars their entire lives.

Well, yeah.

It should specifically say appliance grade.
The thick orange cords and such are not the same thing.

You can get an appliance-grade extension cord at the hardware store. They're more expensive than regular extension cords because they can carry a higher load.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

“Why am i (a sex shop employee) doing more for people in Minneapolis than a Jacob Frey?!”
Gold

Minnesota is "your skin will freeze and die" cold right now, and apparently ICE is just dumping beaten detainees out in the woods around the Whipple Building. Journalists are working on confirming these reports, but these stories are coming from local medical workers.
