I've been thinking about the Hugging Face hack by the botched Open AI test and I'm sure others have reached this conclusion, but I haven't seen it explicitly stated. If swarms of AI agents can successfully and feloniously penetrate systems of a private company in an exercise meant to be contained...

I’ve seen a number of media outlets refer to Trump “blaming James Comey and other Democrats” for the Epstein files. James Comey is not a Democrat and never has been. In fact, he was a registered Republican until 2018.

I’d be interested in knowing what the NSA is up to these days

You know those trick shot videos where someone has clearly spent hours upon hours trying to make the shot then they behave like their long nightmare is over when they do make the shot? What’s up with those people?

I wonder who is responsible for writing the tv listings. Local Fox affiliate spelled Funeral wrong. PBS spelled it correctly.

Love the secondhand benefit we get from our neighbor’s delightfully tiny yet wooded backyard.

The Supreme Court is totally compromised. Does anybody believe they would make these rulings for a Democratic President? Does anybody believe they will allow a Democrat to assume the Presidency with this much power?

The next organized protests need to be directed at the Supreme Court. They are out of their minds. Institutionalists really need to start breaking decorum. We’re 5 months in. Does anybody believe the fascist party has any intention of being subject to popular vote in 16 months?

Preserving elections is now the top priority. Everything else is gone except MAYBE the military.

I’m on this app every single day and I really like it. I’m m going to start to try and do more posting, not with the intention of gaining followers or anything like that, but it seems like like it’s healthier to scream into a void than to quietly rage at this fascist regime in my own head.

There are a lot of worthy criticisms that can be directed at Minneapolis city executives but I have to say the high number of traffic calming installations happening on the SE side this late summer/fall has been really encouraging to see.

I know it’s good for the campaign targeting, etc. to vote early, but sorry I just really like to vote on Election Day in my precinct. National elections are so big that going to the high school field house alongside members of my local community keeps it so tangible for me.

This is the third instance in this story of Trump denying access to his plane as punishment and it is so hilariously Mean Girls coded. I like to imagine the banished individuals sitting on their humiliating middle seat commercial flight brooding about how to get back on the plane.

Yesterday we saw a guy in a crisp red MAGA hat outside our local bakery. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a MAGA hat in our neighborhood in S Mpls. But these new hats have 45-47 on the side. If you’re really committing to the stolen election bit, doesn’t this acknowledge a 46th president?

I know it’s obvious but 1) not immediately knowing by looking at her that Laura Loomer’s face is almost entirely made of plastic is hard to believe, and 2) Trump is appalled by plastic surgery? There is probably not a single person in America surrounded by more people who have had work done.

I get a fair amount of bro comedy fed to me via the IG algorithm. Sometimes it’s funny but a lot of it is calling each other gay and prioritizing shock value for laughs instead of a well crafted joke. So it’s always fascinating when they step out of their bubble and find out it doesn’t work.

As an elder millennial, it’s a hobby of mine to convey to my kids how things used to be (they don’t care). This week’s lesson was an episode of Nickelodeon’s old show You Can’t Do That On Television. All of us left both horrified and confused.

My favorite thing about these last two prez election cycles in MN is that the Trump ppl convince themselves they can win here, show up a couple times, then never return. They only come back to slurp up whatever $ the Wayzata-set will quietly toss at their feet.

Maybe there’s an easy answer here but I never understand why the Strib website and print are so out of alignment. This is the top story in print and I had to scroll down to the Outdoor section 3/4 down the Web homepage to find it. Direct financial implications for most Minnesotans.

This place definitely doesn’t seem like a cesspool. Might actually use it to get in the mix and not just as a news aggregator
