It's weird that it's more important Michigan and New York don't touch than Minnesota fits between Wisconsin and North Dakota

Pfp suggests he is still in famine mindset. I say he's of Irish ancestry and you aren't racist enough for him

It used to be that the computer was the one blindly accepting whatever the human told them. It used to be that the source of errors was the human instructing the computer. How did it get turned around?

I've been wanting to stop. I can get behind this.

Good news! There will be a lot of people looking to upskill soon. We will be able to support an active military industrial complex again

The only response to a lot of things. But I'd add a few categories to the list of people robbing us

Was looking at a particularly messy roadside today in Minneapolis. Can we get a department of homeland cleanup out here with a billion dollar budget? Build some new housing? Hire some wild architects to experiment with some new materials and techniques? Place would be looking fine af

I'm going to need a little more on this please. It feels right but just out of reach

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

But if we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, who will go on the Sunday shows?

"You win elections to burn political power and improve people's lives" -Tim Walz after Minnesota passed a series of progressive policies with a narrow legislative advantage in 2023. This is a major root of the animus towards Minnesota.

I wrote about Minnesota and ICE and how average Americans are reclaiming the power that the administration is abusing. www.pbump.net/o/this-is-wh...

What's been weird to learn is that other leaders of institutions act the same way. Some of them hoard and protect their influence like it's money because they, too, are rich. You don't get rich by giving your money away and (they seem to believe) you don't get powerful by exercising your power. But, in fact, that is often how power works: using power can help build power. At the very least, power holds no value unless it is exercised, which alone is a valid reason to exercise it. If you are powerful but never use your power, you are not powerful.
I'm talking here primarily about the huge, obvious loci of power — the centers of power that exist in part to serve as checks on other centers of power.
Congress vis-a-vis the presidency. The media relative to the government. Higher education in contrast to misinformation. But they often aren't serving as checks on what's unfolding, or are obviously and bizarrely using their power only sparingly, garden hoses aimed at protecting their own homes from the wildfire.
So it's left to individuals, who have stepped up where institutions have not.

I was there and I'm just your everyday average dude. Seeing everyone else around here get their shit together and participate in so many different ways was a wake up call. It finally dawned on me that I need to do something. I need to get uncomfortable.

There were people calling themselves Roman into the 20th century. I'm not expecting any name changes anytime soon.

I think they want to keep the opportunity to eat cake in the future based on the cake they have, but they still want to eat it now

I pulled a big frog out my pool the other day. He had a little toad on his head.
