signal boosting this. i don't really like sports and all the sports talk always confuses me...but like in a charming way. i really like that people get excited about stuff, including sports, and I want people to have a harmless experience joking around about what they like without being harassed.

a 800-day weekend could fix me

I guess I hadn't imagined that, when World War III started, it'd happen while I was lying around in my underwear by a struggling AC as the earth cooked. They never tell you it's gonna be all the apocalypses at once, y'know?

oh no

One of the best reassurances in life is when somebody's small dog toddles up to you unexpectedly. I'm sure I'm a terrible human in many ways, but at least I don't fail the Puppy Vibe Check.

Butlerian Jihad! *clap* *clap* *clapclapclap*

My partner & I were trying to ID a bird we heard while walking and the guy who had stopped his car to let us pass got out and was like "it's a frog, actually. Cope's Gray. I do frog surveys... Sorry" And then got in his car without a word and drove off. Absolute king

"everyone needs money. that's why they call it money" is the most parodic bit of Mamet dialogue Mamet ever wrote

"This was the largest manhunt in MN State History" but the suspect escaped after police witnessed him murder someone, escaped to both his known residences and was walking around North Mpls with a giant cowboy hat on. Stop listening to these stenographers feeding you hagiography.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

she's right but also for some reason I'm hearing this in my head as read by the "Matt Berry reads dril tweets" Tiktok guy and it rules

In Minnesota, first-degree murder charges require an indictment by a grand jury. This is mandated by Minnesota Statutes § 609.185 and § 628.61. It will happen.

Looks like he also asked the AI how many minutes are in two hours

The conspiracy theorists claiming the shooter is a Democratic agent aren't just deflecting blame. This is also inciting more violence. First, it signals to terrorists that MAGA has their backs. Second, by saying Democrats are the source of violence, it renders MAGA violence as "self-defense."

Every Minnesotan is yelling at all of you to knock this off. Not competitive districts. Lege is not in session. You don't even go here. This is bad enough without the rest of the country parrotting this. Just. Fucking. Wait. For. Local. Reporting.

Everybody knows about David Lynch but I worry sometimes that some people don’t know about his comic strip, The Angriest Dog in the World. screenrant.com/david-lynch-...

Post the first album you bought with your own money. (I regret nothing. 😆)

I'm gonna have to take a moment to dump out some dog food in John Candy's memory, but hell yes. I hope they follow through and actually call it "The Search for More Money."

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

Republicans are going to spend the rest of their careers trying to justify sending ICE and the National Guard on a guy with Lightning McQueen crocs.

While I agree about this general *type* of reporting, I do kinda like the composition of this particular photo. All I see is one burning cart & like 4 guys behind a dumpster, being faced down by that absurdly long line of riot cops. The image definitely communicates something.

the last few days has been a reminder that people really want to believe that not only is there this real thing called a “criminal,” and that if they need to, anyone can just prove they aren’t one

I'm rubber, you're glue. We're both commodities to 3M.

Elon and Trump pulling into separate Home Depot parking lots and tweeting “I’m here you fuckaas bitch”

They're literally doing the meme

I mean, it's essentially what we serve ar parties in Minnesota, only the sausages come in a slow cooker of BBQ sauce. 🤷‍♀️

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

Cuticles are sloppy as hell, but I got compliments on the Velveeta yellow nails! (Think I'm gonna use this as an occasional manicure thread. I want to compare progress as I try to grow them out to pandemic length again.)

Imagine Hallmark romances ending like gialli, wherein the last living guy in your friend group is also the only one who believed you the whole AND dressed well, so at the end he’s like, “Finally, all our annoying friends who thought this wasn’t a thing are dead; let’s go buy cigarettes before bed.”

I thought Gen Z was ridiculous for doing everything by text and never picking up the phone to actually talk to someone. Now who’s laughing?

Got myself an @nora.zone pendant that I only just got around to taking pics of. I love how it looks like the sky. ☺️

nice. eat shit ed and lorraine warren

Interesting side note on this: My home county ended up on some right-wing "sanctuary" list before this DHS bullshit. I tried digging into why that might be - I mean, we're not a particularly liberal place, and local govt. has made zero sanctuary declarations. (Cont.)

getting real sick of seeing people talking about the TACO acronym being about trump and not people yelling about the food in all caps

I read the Surgeon General nominee's book so you don't have to, and it's hot fucking trash, and I wrote about it! buttondown.com/theswordandt...

IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN
