My Indian FIL voted for Trump in 2016 (business man Trump) and by the middle of 2017 had already regretted his vote. Voted Biden in 2020. Tonight he literally was like "tell me about socialism" at the dinner table and, anyway, I think the midterms are gonna go poorly for the GOP

The Twin Cities metro just broke their record for highest 1 hour AQI observation. An AQI of 535 was measured in Blaine. The previous record? 330. The air is dangerous up there tonight. Please be safe.

Sault Ste Marie is at.... 1258?!?! What..... how.... like, what even is the air at that point? I stepped outside around 5-6pm to get the mail when the smoke was just moving in and it was still in the 90s, and it was like standing in a sauna that was on fire. I cannot fathom what that's like.

At my work we had a half hour training from a coworker about writing ALT text. It was very interesting, partly because it was not what I was expecting. The tl;dr was: Briefly say what it is and move on. Bonus tip: Put in periods to help the screen reader know where to stop or pause or separate.

There was more patriotism (complimentary) in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show than in this entire American 250 celebration thing going on in DC right now.

I picture the Siren Team thinking of the Bluesky community and saying “light ‘em up” before pushing a big red button every month. Can we get a picture of the button or whatever sets the sirens off? A big power throwing lever would be cool. I bet it’s just the “enter” button on a keyboard.

EVERYTHING ABOUT SPORTS is about people having biological! competitive! advantages! I know this because I had none of them and have been bad at sports my whole life, but nonetheless, I played sports with people who were MUCH BETTER than me the whole time I was growing up.

AND.... trans people have human rights and don't deserve ANY OF THIS. 💔😡

Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social · last mo.

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.
