NEW: Police in Wisconsin used Flock to determine that a man “travels to Michigan frequently,” where marijuana is legal, then back to Wisconsin, where it is illegal. They then used his travel across state lines as tracked by Flock as part of the probable cause justification to search his car.

Minnesota will stand as a firewall against any and all attacks on reproductive freedom. We were the first state to establish an ironclad right to abortion after the Dobbs decision and we will remain an island of freedom for those seeking to make their own healthcare decisions.

FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · yesterday

Acting AG Todd Blanche plans to outlaw abortion nationwide: We're working to get solutions so that the Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state. We're putting policies in place so that states can't do things like mail abortion drugs. We will have victory, and it will be permanent.

These public officials have abandoned their constituents for their own interests, you have no excuse if your entire township is telling you no and you continue. Law enforcement narrative strengthens the fact that the actual people living there have the least say.

Exclusive: We obtained a leaked playbook that Flock gives to cops to coach them on "how to speak to city council" to avoid getting their contracts canceled. Includes strategies like "own the narrative" by talking to mayor "before public comment periods" www.404media.co/own-the-narr...

The Minnesota Lynx won their 10th-straight game with a 108-100 win over the Indiana Fever on Sunday. Off the court, a crowd of critics and supporters of Indiana guard Sophie Cunningham's stance against transgender participation in girls' and women’s sports gathered around and inside Target Center.

I feel like takes scoffing at the idea that people could have addictive behavior patterns relating to LLMs are likely to age poorly

Happy Friday to you guys

Got a good job down at the Data Center. I work on the line, and it's hard work but it's honest and the wage is fair; my family and I are grateful for it. I rivet the word "absolutely" onto the little apologies that chatbots do when they misunderstand a prompt.

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

just incredible to watch the US president take Iran's side when my state's water systems are under cyberattack

Really enjoying this rainfall in the Twin Cities after all the heat and humidity. My cat is in heaven, laying by the window.

yet another video promoting angie craig that is showing off the old racist minnesota flag. this is a nasty message! majority democrats is led by AI billionaire & hedge fund manager stephen mandel and are big funders behind her

taylr@taylordahlin.com · 3w ago

angie craig’s instagram story features a farmer flying the old minnesota state flag, 2 years after we adopted a new one the last thing we need in 2026 is a senator who wants to drag the DFL rightward and appeal to the regressive culture warriors who use the old flag as a symbol

Across northern Minnesota, neighbors have come together, supporting one another and uplifting those hit the hardest by wildfires. Together we’ll recover and rebuild.

This makes me so mad because everything in the Framework Laptop 13 Pro is a huge game changer. They made a Linux laptop with MacBook Pro quality and insane battery life and then got kicked in the nads by RAM companies. Look what they took from us.

The Framework Laptop 13 Pro is almost everything we hoped for. @superantonio64.bsky.social says it has "the best haptic trackpad not made by Apple." Great battery life too. But that price... www.theverge.com/tech/971160/...

Duck Duck is awesome for this. I’d also recommend Kagi, lets you do that infinitely but also rank websites and sources based on how much you trust them. It’s paid but also completely ad free, no sponsors and no censored results

Learning that Duck Duck Go let's you block specific sites from search results is a game changer for when you are looking for things and you don't want the first 10 results to be Amazon.
