The HVAC/plumbing company we use has AI voice assistants for booking appointments and it is so off-putting. Like, it gets the job done and I would never be rude just in case it's a real person who talks and responds like a robot, but the future is so dumb.

NOT doing anything sends the message that “mountains of evidence of child rape aren’t even worth responding to” and allows them to move the goalposts further
DO. SOMETHING.

Listen, I am a Saint Paulian who has ere now been only marginally On Here (vs. regular Twitter check-ins before), and I have never understood why so many people hate and/or defend that Stancil guy.
Meanwhile, I'm pumped to know how our new mayor's name is pronounced: kuh-LEE her

Chuck Schumer, like Obama and Clinton before him, thinks the starting point for negotiation is halfway to the Republican position. It’s dumb and counterproductive.
Maybe so, but it’s still about what is possible. Democrats in position to push legislation need to negotiate something and these are reasonable starting points. Yeah, ICE has got to go but those are words for a campaign not legislating. Campaign on it so as a majority we can make it happen.

I had a show tonight, so I couldn't vigil with my neighbors. As I passed a group with candles by my house, I thought, "Is honking appropriate?" and I did it anyway.

As somebody who reluctantly showed up to the Minneapolis march today (I don't have great subzero gear), I can't wait to see even more footage that shows all the people who came out.
But can you even imagine how many MORE Minnesotans would have been there if temperatures were more hospitable?
