I love that no two Minnesotans spell awoooo the same. We are ungovernable.

The awoooos seemed particularly plentiful and enthusiastic today on the MSP Feed. We really needed this awooo is what I'm saying. Scrolling past dozens and dozens of them was fun (I did not like them all this time). (It was 1 p.m. first Wednesday of the month siren testing time here in MN.)

Love the first Wednesday of the Month

We really needed this awooooooo

It's like they were making up for no July awoooos for some of us.

Hmmm. Awoo part three?

In honor of the awooooo today, here's my good old girl Lucy singing along with the sirens (and me). I loved her rusty old howl.

Reports coming in of quiet or missing awoooos at 1 p.m. but then later a louder awoooo folks heard. 🤷‍♀️ (Scrolling past dozens of awooos in the MSP Feed on the first Wednesday of the month around 1 pm, as one does.)

Awooo We live in a failed country Awooo we can't let our city fail Aaaawooooo

Ope there it is! Awooooo!

whaaaaa? No awoooo in North Minneapolis today????

I just noticed it and uh, this seems a bit late. (Lost track of time.) Anyway. Awooooooo.

Hahahahahaha I wanted to type something here but I'm laughing too hard "could you still get through an entire workday" what the fuck, man, you just sharpied "I am incompetent" on your forehead.

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

Argh. With the convention taking up all my time & then recovery from it I didn't get my ballot in the mail. Will see if neighbor can witness today & I can get it in mail today and then track it & if it doesn't make it in time I guess I go to my polling place on election day which is close by. (sigh)

Hey MSP folks—if I get my absentee ballot in the mail tomorrow is that pushing my luck? I usually do this wayyyy early, but I've been a very Slow Laurel and it's trickier now when I have to find a witness (don't have one in house) though I'm sure if I text a neighbor someone will be up for it.

LFG!

Tinnitus can fuck off. (I have my first ever appointment with an audiologist next week, maybe they'll have some ideas.)

Well, this is certainly an interesting strategy (from an email from Peacock). Any other streamers doing this sort of thing? Where they offer rewards for the amount of viewing you do or if you actually finish whole movies or episodes on their service.

Happy Ray Bradbury apocalypse day to all who celebrate.

Viewed over 400,000 times on IG and the devil bird app. 👀 "It is neglect of the highest order to look children in the eyes and say: 'We knew how to protect you, and we didn't do it.'" -Violet Affleck to the UN

Saw a weird headline about people being upset with Violet Affleck for not wearing a mask (after all her advocacy for mask-wearing) and I clicked through and she was outside and had a N95 in her hand, clearly ready to put it back on if she went indoors. (So, totally normal and reasonable behavior.)

can u guess what this refers to

Bookwyrm@xerapis.bsky.social · yesterday

I think you mean caboose

Me, before watching this: "what's so weird or bad about using tongs to get pizza out of the oven?" (I've done it, gripped the edge with clean tongs to pull pizza onto a plate or pan.) Me, watching this: "Oh, I see." 😂

Los Angeles: sports capital of the world@theamitie.bsky.social · 14h ago

There’s a guy on TikTok who posts just him taking a pizza out of the oven every day with tongs and all of the comments are about how their day is ruined from having watched this

Why do they not already have capybaras at every level of government?!

Capybaras keep their chill while crashing Brazilian legislature apnews.com/article/braz...

Library pro tip: never go in without locking the emergency stop. If the lights are motion activated and you’re alone, they will definitely turn off if you’re in there, someone will come in and assume sensibly that there’s no one there. Ask my busted ribs how we know!

In light of the Perez Hilton news:

Rav@rvbdrm.com · 7mo ago

Maybe turn off video autoplay today: Settings > Content and media > Autoplay videos and GIFs Toggle off.

cw: suicide, suicidal ideation Mute word "Perez Hilton" (he is alive) Turn off video auto play on all platforms

Benny Six-Cats@teeveeben.bsky.social · 16h ago

Hey guys, Perez Hilton performed self-harm and may have attempted a suicide on TikTok and screenshots are flying around, so if you are sensitive, go put "Perez Hilton" in your mutes right now.

Nut roll discourse caused me to buy a bag of the tiny sized nut rolls and now I remember I don't actually care for them all that much. Ope. (I feel like I've probably done this before too. Do I need to make a note to myself somewhere?)

If you somehow aren't sick of Michigan already....

On my trip to the Upper Peninsula this summer I decided to give myself a fun challenge- how many lighthouses could I photograph in 12 days? The answer- 36! Plus a few bonus ones. So here's a gigantic thread of every lighthouse I saw, sorted by type. Up first is Eagle Harbor Light Station. (1/44)

Psst, MSP . . . temperature 65 in Minneapolis, AQI of 51 (barely in the yellow zone).
