I’m presdisposed to Doctorow’s position here, but this really resonates: “It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs” www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

I am so triggered by RJK Jr's comment about ICU's being empty during #COVID. I re-read what I wrote after one of the surges. How do others forget. The trauma was--and is--real.

I'm An ICU Doctor. I’m Haunted By What I’ve Seen During The Recent COVID-19 Surge.

“I can’t stop thinking about the 40-something man who told me, ‘I can’t die like this. I just got engaged and have a 6-month-old baby.’ I encouraged him to be positive, but that didn’t stop him from d...

I had hand surgery last year. Didn't realize that, per Stauber, I could have been screaming at my family from the couch, "I'm fighting for my damn life here! Where's the Cheez-Its?!"

After U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber said House Majority Whip Tom Emmer is "fighting for his damn life" when Emmer failed to show at Minnesota Farmfest, former congressman Vin Weber said Emmer is recovering from foot surgery.

Epstein made millions in direct payments to women and young girls out of just one JPMorgan account. Many of these payments were to women in high-risk countries like Belarus, Lithuania, and Russia.

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, BofA Enabled Epstein, Wyden Report Says

Democrat Ron Wyden cited nonpublic documents held by the US Treasury in a report that says banks delayed reporting suspicious financial transactions and calls for tougher anti-money-laundering rules, ...

anders folk is using footage from lake & bloomington raid in his ads featuring people who actually showed up to the scene to defend their neighbors who do NOT support his campaign folk obvs has no footage of himself there and his campaign shouldn’t be bolstered by these brave minneapolis residents

Kai Shelley@transthem.bsky.social · 2d ago

My photo is being used in a campaign ad for Anders Folk. It will come as a surprise to literally no one who has ever met me - I am not supporting his bid Hennepin County Attorney. I've asked that my photo be removed from all materials, & reported the ad. If you see the video, please report it, thx!

Minneapolis - need your favorite wheelchair accessible restaurants with group capacity for a celebratory weeknight hangout. Minneapolis only. Accessible in terms of no step entry, located on transit & hopefully serving both NA drinks/mocktails + alcoholic options + bonus for THC/CBD beverages

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

#OnThisDay July 31 1914: Eric Wickman, a 27-year-old Swedish immigrant laid off from his job, founds Greyhound Bus Lines in Hibbing, Minnesota. By 1935 it was carrying 652 million people annually, surpassing the passenger volume of all the Class I American railroads, combined.

Sometimes I just sit around stewing about how ride or die so many Minnesotans have been, how they showed up through sacrifice big and small. They made the bad guys push through them at every step. Gave up nothing for free. And the best governor we’re being offered is Klob. It’s embarrassing.

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

Rodger Sherman@rodger.bsky.social · 6d ago

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

Yeah this isn’t funny at all. The mayor has positional power over literally every employee of the city. The alleged behavior is completely unacceptable.

Dex Anderson@dexanderson.com · last wk.

I need the people cracking jokes to actually contemplate the details here. A person with immense power over people's jobs, in her first six months in office, has been sexually harassing MULTIPLE people with inappropriate comments and jokes. Again, if a man did this, y'all would be fucking outraged.

As I have commented before: Dr Fauci arrived at Wolf Trap with the most elaborate security detail I've ever seen. When I asked why, he told me that there were already at that time 2 people in jail for threats on his life-- ie, tried and convicted of a genuine attempt to kill him.
