Believe Minnesotans when we say: filming works. Whistles work. Watch them, record them, stand by and be there for the person getting arrested
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 2mo agoICE thugs tackled and tried to handcuff a man at Las Vegas airport. When they realized they were being filmed, they simply walked away, leaving the man on the ground with a handcuff attached to one arm. The Las Vegas Police found no outstanding warrants for the man and removed his handcuffs.
Wearing a mask indoors all day reminds me of air travel. I feel like I should be overpaying for food and sitting around.
Trump and his shitheads have successfully damaged the US Postal Service. Packages sent to us from St Paul sometimes go to Arizona or California before coming back to Minneapolis.
Here’s Why Weather Forecasts Have Seemed So Inaccurate Lately. Meteorologists simply aren't able to gather as much data as they used to, and you're suffering for it. gizmodo.com/heres-why-we...

Historians will study this era. A whole crop of PhDs will try to explain why we thought putting ground, granulated rice or rice crispies on roasted vegetables made them fancy. I may not see this damage undone in my lifetime.
I can’t hear Don’t Fear the Reaper without chucking to myself.
The interface for Apple Music on the Apple TV sucks. #whaaaaaaaaaa
I get steamed about this kind of crap. These bridges and sidewalks are bare minimum mobility for people screwed by freeway infrastructure. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

Evan Roberts@evanrobertsnz.bsky.social · 3mo agoPrediction: having closed the 24th St bridge some of the homeless people will move down to the Sabo bridge, which is an even more important link (I'll be happy to be wrong, and there's no easy answers to this problem)
Writing with a fountain pen is like driving an elegant, gorgeous car that you have to jump start every single time.
Portland bar and club managers talk about "It" happening like medieval Europeans talked about Prester John. Times are bleak now, lads, but one elderly man's failing organs are all that stand between us and 150 million Americans launching a drinking binge.
Imma go to the office tomorrow, wear gradient shades all day, and suggest I don’t value human life. We’ll see how it goes.

I will never forgive the people who are not doing everything they can to stop the man who just threatened to commit nuclear genocide.
“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”
The funniest thing about 12 year old boys wearing fluorescent Pit Vipers to museums and airports is that I can 100% relate.
I’m excited to speak at the South by Southwest (SXSW) conference tomorrow in Austin, Texas. This session will be called “Defending Democracy: How Cities Rise Up When Feds Push Down."
I’m always pleasantly surprised when I get a like or follow on Bluesky. I spend some time on Instagram and it’s all bots. But here it’s like “oh, that’s a real person. And they seem pretty cool.”
Windows Notepad supports Markdown! This is so great!
