It'd be kinda chic if someone would explain this most recent word meme to me and where it came from because it sure is everywhere and I feel kinda old for not having any idea why.

Just ate here for @bethanyg.bsky.social birthday. It is everything Dara says it is and more. The food. The service. The drinks... Perfect. Reasonably priced too — especially during Happy Hour. Highly, highly, recommended.
Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl@deardara.bsky.social · 3w agoit's more than a restaurant review, it's a story about so many threads in the Twin Cities suddenly weaving together into something new -- the Bachelor Farmer crew, northern roots mandolin world, and never forget, Iowa and Minnesota dominate American pork! mspmag.com/eat-and-drin...
I hope Angie found out some things about Minnesotans tonight. We don't forget. We won't let others forget either.
Our daughter, who turned 18 this year, voted for the first time today. The world will begin slowly changing in the right direction now.
Yep. I'm a single issue voter on this one.
John Moe@johnmoe.bsky.social · 2w agoSenate primary here in MN tomorrow. Peggy Flanagan wants to dismantle ICE. Angie Craig supported a resolution thanking ICE for their service. Wants to reform ICE. Voted yes on Laken Riley Act, then said whoops. Given what’s happened here in 2026, it’s not all that complicated a choice.
I'm not scared of AI. I'm scared of the humans behind it. Very dangerous things are often very cool. "What we didn't realize..." is the warning phrase that should cause one to notice the danger. Instead, these people seem to only notice the cool. www.youtube.com/watch?v=87Dy...

Live a life that does not cause anyone to celebrate your death.
We often forget how inexpensive it is (often free, in fact) it is to completely make someone's day/week/year or, even, give them a memory they will cherish for life.

So, I broke down and bought an M5 MacBook Air today. Here's the deal: Costco has the 10CPU/10GPU 16GB/1TB model for $1149 (price good until 7/12). They will be selling at that price until out of stock. I bought the last one at my location. From Apple that model is $1599. Seemed a no brainer.

How to make a lifetime customer: Pressure warning went off on car I just bought in January, took it to Discount Tire, they diagnosed (nail), repaired the leak, and rotated the still good tires... FOR FREE. Did not get these tires there. Just pure good customer service. What we believe in.

The worst promoters of AI are the people who make AI and they'd do better to STFU about AI and/or let AI tell them what to say about AI because their addled high-on-their-own-supply thoughts about AI are either stupidly dangerous or dangerously stupid.

OK, so there's Kansas which we pronounce "can-sas". But then there's Arkansas which we pronounce "ar-can-saw" despite the fact it’s spelled like it should be pronounced "ar-can-sas". Or, perhaps we should pronounce Kansas "can-saw"? English is stupid.
