Can’t believe I have to say this, but in Minnesota you will continue to have the freedom to get your COVID and flu shots.

I'm all for taxing the helk out of the rich but "women without children" are not the primary group of money-hoarders in this country and it's weird if that's where your mind goes

My brother (father, attorney in a midsized city) has exponentially more cash on hand than I do (not a parent, service sector in HCOL city). We gotta stop hearing that people don't have kids and jumping immediately to "rich idle yuppies"

Latest episode of Task has been bugging me. That summer tanager was not far enough outside of its breeding range to warrant that speech

Listen, we gotta stop wasting our time worrying about the people being beaten and disappeared. Save that energy for our real plan: "post a lot about releasing the files -> ???? -> victory"

Some seven years after shifting careers, unionfacts is still one of the top google results for my name. But god forbid we know about the people currently acting on behalf of the government!

I probably do not possess the youthful energy needed to party at the new rave venue in the neighborhood, but the owners have been in the hardware store a bunch over the last few weeks and I kind of want to pop in and see if that epoxy I recommended did the trick

So Hulk Hogan, why are you a great candidate for the Administrative Assistant position?

Feels similar to the discussions about DC this summer. Guard presence is legally and symbolically notable but it's ICE doing the actual violence.

Evan Bernick, a finite mode with a smol hooman and a lorg floof @evanbernick.bsky.social · 2d

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.

not sure how long they were planning on keeping this going but just hypothetically do we think Texas National Guard owns Chicago-grade winter coats

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Seeing like ten videos per day of the kind of police brutality that would have kicked off a week of protests ten years ago is probably not good for me, right
