Old white Minnesota couple telling me how the "whole fucking agency needs to go, they can't be reformed" and "you're from Texas? Fuck Paxton." Minnesota, I apologize, I underestimated your game

Meet me for lunch at The Nook if you want a delicious burger, an ass kicking, and probably some indigestion you'll need to nap off, later.

BREAKING: Shooting at Westgate Station. The cops are everywhere and the helicopter is up, so I can only assume the perp is still loose.

a thing about me is that if i ever see anyone raise any (usually valid!) complaint against the NYT, I *automatically* read it in Coach McGuirk’s slam poetry voice.

Anyone know what's going on with this huge line of trucks holding up traffic on 35S? It was a full minute of trucks before I started recording. They're being escorted by an Anoka Cty sheriff going slow at the front. Not letting anyone pass. Some trucks are honking.

When Tony Glover (Dylan’s pal and fellow harmonica cat) took Barret Hansen (future radio DJ Dr. Demento) to the Scholar in Dinkytown to see Bob Dylan play a couple months later, Hansen saw no sign announcing the acts but assumed (rightly, at the time) that the performer’s name was spelled “Dillon.”

My favourite bit of the NYT article was this:
A Rabbi told Anthropic that he personally didn't believe that they were creating conscious beings, but that if Anthropic truly believed they were, then by that definition they were creating slaves, which would obviously be an extremely bad thing

#OnThisDay Oct 2 1900: The St. Paul Dispatch @pioneerpress.bsky.social runs a photograph of all the automobiles owned by city residents: a total of four. I sadly don't have that particular photo, perhaps @whenesota.com or @frederickmelo.bsky.social does. This is from 1905 at Ft Snelling:
sepia toned photo of a lone open touring car stopped at a scenic overlook of the Mississippi River, two men in front, two ladies dressed in white in back.

🎃
A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

This was good but i think misses one of the key things that makes DCC so popular, which is that it fucking *moves* man. I've never read anything that goes faster in my life. An 800 page book that people aren't immediately intimidated by, and can finish in a few days, is a hugely potent proposition!
