I find the most caring people I know tend to be non-cis, non-binary people. That's it. That's the whole post. Normativity is bullshit.

This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

Funny part about management blindly requiring you to implant AI in their business processes is that it often is best at their jobs, not the parts they wanted to replace

It was the app. I believe the app has been updated again since the day I tried.

When I tried using the app earlier this week, it would not let me past the announcement. I kept going to the website. Clicking x, clicking outside the messages and or course clicking the message. I spent $70 on Ubers. Which is why I would pay triple the membership/ride costs.

The "Party of Reagan" has the United States siding with Russian aggression against NATO allies and a brutal war on a European democratic US partner. Yes, the whole party. If they didn't, they would impeach and remove the president who is blatantly breaking US law to help fund Russia's war effort.

My hot take for today is that you should have to retake a road test every time you renew your license, and you should undergo an annual vehicle safety inspection when you renew your tabs.

It's appropriate that the "All American Breakfast" is practically inedible. I've had rice pudding more firm than the advertised "Crispy Hash browns" and the dead sea might have less salt than the eggs. Never experienced chewy toast before today. Yeah, American indeed.

Ward 8 News from Council Member Soren Stevenson 
October 8th, 2026

Dear neighbors, 

The City Council is preparing to amend and adopt a City Budget for 2027. The 2027 Budget proposed by Mayor Frey in August includes cuts to many programs that our communities rely on while increasing the budget for the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) by more than $20 million. 

We can recognize that the City is facing real fiscal challenges while rejecting false austerity. These narratives are being used as a pretext for cuts to programs communities rely on, all while allowing MPD to have an ever ballooning budget that goes unchecked year after year.

Fiscal responsibility doesn’t look like just cutting across the board. It means examining every major area of city spending, identifying inefficiencies and measurable outcomes, and ensuring every tax dollar the City spends actually improves residents’ lives or enhances a public good. 

MPD has gone $20 million over budget two years in a row, and MPD leaders have publicly admitted that there has been mismanagement of overtime. Earlier this year, both the Commissioner of Community Safety and the Chief Operating Officer both publicly stated they were unaware of this overspending for nearly all of 2025. Earlier this year, when ICE invaded our city, our communities stepped up to protect our neighbors while the MPD did little to nothing to keep us safe yet still got millions in overtime compensation. It is not fiscally responsible to increase MPD’s budget by $20 million when it is widely known that mismanagement of MPD is fueling unnecessary costs that are not meaningfully improving public safety.

The budget is funded by working people, and they deserve accountability and oversight of how their money is spent. This year, the Board of Estimate and Taxation, the body that sets the maximum tax levy, made it clear that unchecked police overspending needed to be meaningfully addressed. The City Council has…

Was surprised on a work call today as many employees actively pushed back on the use of Ai in development. Management was beating the drum for increased Ai use but employees gave very specific, detailed examples of how Ai was actually *hurting* productivity due to longer code reviews & poor quality.

One favorite bit was when someone questioned the use of self-reporting to measure increased dev productivity due to Ai and the manager said "Yeah, it is odd -- the self-reported productivity scores keeping going up but the amount of code we're actually releasing keeps dropping."

I would be much calmer about "efficiency mode" if windows had the slightest ability to tell what processes are in the background. Instead it just locks firefox every so often. Yes it is using a lot of memory. That is because it is the foreground program, that I am using!

Oh, OneDrive, how I enjoy the message every 15 minutes about a folder having too many files yet that folder has been deleted and is inaccessible both on the hard drive and the website. I also enjoy that the quit option doesn't work and force stop is required to make the alerts stop.

There is an audit at work around finances and it becomes a stark and sobering reminder of how little people understand the processes. The lack of understanding the why and what other people do in the process.
