Today is the day the story There Will Come Soft Rain is set. An amazing and heartbreaking work of fiction for our modern age. Read it here:

Okay, I am going to tell a little story. It's one I have saved for the last couple years, almost nobody knows about it. But it lives in my heart. I don't know how others will feel about it, maybe something, maybe nothing. It's about the Uncanny X-Men. 1/
The usual answer: a NY Times journalist has a book coming out in a year or two
Schooley@schooley.bsky.social · 3d agoHow is it that this story still hasn't appeared in the New York Times?
yeah he sees himself as being in a negotiation with Iran but at war with Minnesota
Secretary of Defense Rock@sodrock.bsky.social · 3d agoStill can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol
I’ve been yelling about it this all year. Municipalities still act like these are unfortunate incidents instead of what they are. They’re attacks on critical infrastructure. We’ve underinvested in modernizing essential systems and infrastructure while degrading cybersecurity.
Bike repair friends! I’m trying to remove my cranks and stripped the threads on one side with the crank puller. What now? I’m reading about pickle forks and gear pullers and out of my element. (I’m doing an e-bike conversion kit on my trike.) cc @babski.bsky.social
Make no mistake here. This is Trump objectively taking the side of Iran, a nation we are currently at war with, over the Americans in Minnesota because he hates the governor and the fact that a majority of voters there did not vote for him
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6d agoTrump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."
Six congressmen bought between $83,000 to $245,000 in SpaceX stock just before its IPO: -Jared Moskowitz -Gil Cisneros -Dan Meuser -John McGuire -William Timmons -John James Five serve on committees whose work impacts SpaceX's business. We must ban members of Congress from trading stock.

Kody Clemens just hit a walk off grand slam to drive in all the runs in a game where the Twins were down by 3 runs, being shut out, and down to their last strike, 0-2 in the count. One of the greatest things I’ve ever seen with these eyes.
This stolen money needs to be returned to blue states by the next administration with interest.
Murshed Zaheed@murshedz.bsky.social · last wk.“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Not a single network aired this on their nightly news broadcasts yesterday. They described Trump overseeing a "somber ceremony" and called it a "moving moment." The only way to know what trump actually said about the soldiers he killed is to follow aaron rupar which no offense to aaron is insane

About 20 years ago there was a 1980s themed restaurant on Lake Street. Miami Vice vibes, played Scarface on repeat, etc. Their gimmick was having phones on each table (and a “map”) so you could call other tables.

Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?

A city that has leading ped intervals and 2 way bikeways should NOT allow right turn on red for drivers. RTOR decreases the safety benefits of the ped interval and 2 way bikeways bc IME drivers *cannot* be trusted to look for bikes & peds when they’re checking for car traffic to turn.
Laura G Mitchell@lauragmitchell.com · 4w agoI am once again begging @minneapolismn.gov to ban right turn on red for drivers. I just had yet another close call with a driver so eager to turn right on red that they didn’t notice the leading ped interval. They almost ran me over right after I stepped into the crosswalk w/ a ped signal.
