The #TeamUSA look gotten right (so far at least). Good to see: still recalling the (last minute it would appear) highly upsetting bombshell Epic Failure of 2014. 2010 and 2018 were done right too. I don't remember offhand if 2022 was #Olympics #MilanoCortina2026

Hoooooooboy: do I even want to click? With all of the piece-of-shit radical right trollbots, I won't. Let's hold off a bit with the torches and pitchforks; we all screw up now and then. Taking the question at face value, I could see far right influencers being paid to be there [see alt text]

Saw mention of this. EVERY SINGLE TIME @governorwalz.mn.gov posts there's the inevitable flood of untenable "why don't you" posts. I'm fed up sick and tired of seeing it. There are legally appropriate ways to proceed, unsexy as they might be; they're happening

Day-long strikes or boycotts to protest something can be hit-or-miss to me and sometimes eye-roll-inducing. This is legitimate here in the #TwinCities today; I've gone off the grid. I'd be there downtown but don't have what I need to be out in this weather safely for an extended period

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. loved America. He loved our country so much that he dedicated his life — and in the end, his life was taken — in a fight for our nation's highest ideal: Freedom.

Two #ClassicAlternative tidbits. 1: Was looking at #OMD track listings in Gen Collection Master List.txt and saw self-titled in there. Huh? I... I did get that, didn't I?

Last October at Enger Park in #Duluth I got in a hurry, fell backward downhill and suffered internal bleeding on the back of my right side by landing on a rock. Didn't look but it was probably nice and purple. Certainly felt like it

On a lighter note, somebody dropped a bunch of #ClassicAlternative at one of the local Goodwill locations this weekend: Doolittle, Skylarking, others. Not uncommon ones but rarely show up at the thrift store

Was thinking: I'd rather get fatigued filtering out the Radical Left nutjob behavior on here than be sickened by the Radical Right endorsement and allegiance to violence, bigotry and outright immorality on That Other Site (although much of it is probably AI-chatbot rage bait)
