lol jesus christ shut the fuck up you loser

You wouldn't be posting on a public site with dozens of links to all your profiles if you were actually concerned about your safety.

You're larping. You want to feel like you're doing something by being "covert" and pretending you're in danger.

I guess the bridge is half in Hilltop so credit to them too

Mitch @mitchas.bsky.social · 2d

Pedestrian bridges were full of protesters both in Brooklyn Park at 252/85th and in Columbia Heights at Central/49th.

And yet you're still fucking scared of it.

This is going to get more attention and do more to show how unpopular they are than anything "leftists" have done as of yet.

"Why isn't anyone standing up to this administration??"

but also

"Everyone should be terrified to post fun photos of them and their signs at a massive national protest today because it might make you a target"

See where theres an issue with that logic? Stupid advice. Stop being scared.

Harvest time for the gnarliest weed plant I've ever seen

There's no threat. These people are delusional and only helping the fascists

Literally posting this is more likely to get the guy targeted than someone going to an organized protest with millions of people.

Fuck it, take all the pictures. Take them of everyone. Share them everywhere.

Show how big it is and how many normal people are there that aren't antifa or hamas

Make Mike Johnson even more scared than all these weirdos are of taking a selfie at what is basically a corporate protest

Guys this shit is stupid.

We're talking about a protest with millions of people.

Stop trying to scare people about something that realistically has no risk

If they start rounding up people from this protest, we're far past "don't photograph yourself at protests" being able to save you

ProTip. Don’t photograph yourself at a protest.

Jess Piper @piperformissouri.bsky.social · 4d

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

The National Weather Service API returns today labeled as "Columbus Day" instead of just "Monday" and that's extremely annoying

A screenshot of JSON data returned from the NWS forecast API. The first entry, today, is labelled as "Columbus Day" instead of the day name.

I generally spend my days working from home and yelling at wood peckers to stop pecking my house

But this is the first I've seen one of these guys.

Sat on my roof looking mad after he tried to get in a bird feeder but was too big to fit

ok I am extremely close to actually releasing a usable/testable version so here's a little preview

something to help replace the shit social media sites, but just for Minnesota

A screenshot of a (super secret) website showing a UI for events - like Facebook events but just for Minnesota

Another screenshot, but this time it's on the news page - showing links and snippets of local news stories around the state.

We've stayed in Kearney, Nebraska several times driving to Colorado. Hotels near the highway, never thought it was too bad of a stop.

Then one time we got a flat tire and had to spend a few hours in the actual town, without a car, and I wanted to die.

What’s the worst city you’ve visited?

I’ll never go back to Myrtle Beach SC if somebody paid me

it's a joke. the "this user is suspected..." is just part of the post the user added themselves.

The "Misleading" tag is from Bluesky, but it's because of that "suspected Antifa" text and not the hitler stuff

The cats have avoided the bean bag since we got it but I just caught waffle lounging pretty hard in it
