One person dead and five injured after car explodes near IVF facility in Palm Springs

Wandering around Art-A-Whirl and somehow ended up at a Jazz for Mayor party with live music.

Quick story about Google searches and AI. I was googling "when does gender develop in womb," as one does, and was surprised that the answer provided was that sex was determined at conception. After looking further, one of the "sources" was a pro-life "institute."

Without bangs, Keira Knightly looks a bit like Brook Shields. #BlackDoves

My dad made this ginormous pasta salad with parsley pesto, shrimp, asparagus and green onions and it's so good I have been eating the leftovers every day (he made a lot). Why are green onions so delicious and underrated? Especially the thick kind with the big bulbs you can get at Mexican stores.

It’s a magical time of year

I've noticed a trend lately of people sending docusign forms without giving any description of what it is or why it's being sent. Stop doing this. I'm not even talking about spam-- I know the people sending these. I will not click if I don't have some sort of intro.

Oh my God. That plane from Qatar is going to be so rigged up with spying software. Is that not obvious, beyond the obvious bribery?

“.. I can’t snap my fingers and bring in these highly-skilled air traffic controllers,” Duffy told NBC. “All of this is going to take time.” @barrons.com www.barrons.com/articles/new...

My mom wished me a happy mother’s day. “Thanks for mothering me these past few years,” she said. I thought it was pretty sweet.

New normal: hanging a fun time and not taking a picture.

I get American is commonly used to mean from the U.S., but it gets a bit confusing to say Leo is the first American pope when the last pope was from South America.

This is the most Chicago editors note ever

I think we're seeing a bit of word inflation with the use of umami.

How sweet would it be if Pope Leo excommunicated JD?

Looks like the new Holy Father isn't a fan of JD Vance.

I wonder if the Pope and Obama know each other from Chicago.

Weird seeing an article I wrote regurgitated through AI. At least they linked to my article at the end as source material?

Just heard a non Minnesotan do this, but if you talk about the “Minnesota sports championship curse” you’re purposely being a misogynist turd. If you have to go out of your way to exclude women just so you can mean about losing… you’re a loser

A Native feminist horror story, a “Bride of Frankenstein”-inspired performance with an eight-foot marionette, curses, healing and cats populate this year’s Puppet Lab, an annual festival of puppetry that follows a six-month residency process for puppet artists. www.minnpost.com/artscape/202...

This is really good news 🎊 "Bluesky has overtaken its flailing rival X in hosting posts related to new academic research, indicating the platform is fast becoming the go-to place for scholars to share their work." www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

This is quite good. It's a bummer losing restaurants and I think the city really does need to fix some big problems, but the constant bitching creates this false premise that is quite opposite of the positivity & love I see for St Paul mspmag.com/eat-and-drin...

As a former Catholic and a former Lutheran, my boyfriend and I have a shared aversion to obligatory audience participation, even when led by our favorite artists. No, we will not raise our hands, Nick Cave.

Are streets public space or storage space for private property?

Fuck the baby sloth died. I'm upset.

Dear Google AI: just because you can’t find something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

If you like a good paid holiday don’t move to the US. HT @xruiztru

Complaining to the refs never seems to help

I don’t understand why these players don’t do underhand for the free throws

I got a call yesterday from a person saying she was from the department of health doing a survey. I declined the opportunity.

When I was in college I ended up buying Foucault's Discipline and Punish three times for different classes-- each time reselling it afterwards. There have been so many times I wish I owned a copy of that stupid book and for some reason I don't.

Prince did this 💜

I shared this video in the family group chat and my brother pointed out it’s a terrible PSA. You should not open your windows during a tornado. m.youtube.com/watch?v=B5fI...

A couple of years ago I bought a white board so my boyfriend and I could keep track of our schedule. A couple of months later, he wrote a sweet note and drew a cute picture and it's too precious to erase so anyway we use google calendar now.

Someone told me they tried ChatGPT for therapy which sounded extremely unhealthy and of course I wanted to try. I refuse to get ChatGPT but I found a different free AI therapy service called Pi that lets you try it out a little bit before giving your email. The problem is it responds to quickly.

Tennis court etiquette q: how do you feel about asking people to move over one court? Happened today but it wasn’t even the next one over it was two courts over because that was the one that was about to open up. The people that wanted our spot were friends with the people next to us.

FBI has arrested Judge Hannah Dugan in Milwaukee, WI, for "helping an illegal escape arrest." FBI hasn't provided an arrest warrant or criminal complaint, but Judge Dugan already sits behind bars. We told you it would escalate when they disappeared immigrants without due process. This is fascism.

Whoa Ecuador’s costumes for the hip hop category in the World Cheerleading Championships.
