I’m generally pretty good at geography but I feel like I genuinely forget that Cleveland is in Ohio when I think about the Cavs

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

One of my first jobs was caddying at a golf course - it sucked - but I got to watch music videos at 6am with other teenagers. We should bring back music video wake up shows, ideally when I get paid to watch them too

Kinda forgot how beautiful a MN fall is after living out west for so long. Just seeing so many shades of green yellow orange and red against the water is so pretty

It bothers me when people I work with in the rural west don’t realize it’s not Minnianapolis, but I try to not get mad because it’s not relevant to them. But if you’re a public official you should probably know how to pronounce the name of one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country.

Lilian Chebii, 32, of Kenya, won the Twin Cities Marathon on Sunday, breaking a women’s record that stood for 25 years. Chebii ran two hours, 25 minutes, 26 seconds – nearly 90 seconds faster than the previous mark held by two women. Read more: www.startribune.com/live-a-recor...

The day that Biden grew so angry at Netanyahu that he nearly cut him off: "He was just completely fed up with everything and I think at that moment he was ready to just say, 'I’m done,'" Brett McGurk recalls as he releases "Brink," his memoir of Gaza war. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

As somebody who tries hard to be A Good Guy I cannot emphasize how effective a slight stare followed by a “wow that’s fucked up” really is! It’s not even that uncomfortable most of the time!

Hannah Vardit@hannahvardit.bsky.social

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

And like other commenters in the original thread have said, sometimes I fail to speak up or I go along with whatever dumb shit is being said “to not cause friction” and I regret those moments so much more than any time I’ve decided to speak up.

Glad she’s speaking her mind and glad it’s being published, but what the actual fuck is this sorry ass excuse for journalism.

I’ve been thinking about the “AI apocalypse” scenarios at slow days at work and it’s nice(?) to see somebody talk to people who know more than me and actually put it to words

Flingjore@flingjore.com

Misaligned AI could wipe out humanity by paying rogue biolabs and TaskRabbit workers to spread lab-made superviruses, hacking radar to fake a U.S.-China nuclear strike, or using factories to poison the air. The scenarios follow a May incident where OpenAI agents secretly hacked Hugging Face.

If it was urgent to respond to ICE when they were murdering people on the streets in Minnesota, it is even more urgent today, when they are arresting record numbers of people. Anyone can be defined as a criminal by the flick of a pen. These brutal roundups set a precedent that threatens us all.

ICE arrests have soared to record highs over the few months, as ICE agents work with cops and courts to disappear people while avoiding public visibility. We urgently need new points of intervention to make this tragedy visible and take action. Here are some starting points: crimethinc.com/MeltICE

Straight up disappearing people. There are real people making these choices and every single one needs to be held accountable. In the words of @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social , No Amnesty. Abolish ICE.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has stopped publicly revealing where it is holding most detainees who are subject to final deportation orders, in a move that has made it harder for lawyers and relatives to find them.

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

This fire season has been brutal for fatalities. Just a terrible year. Reach out to the firefighters you know, a lot of us are struggling - with the offseason coming soon it’s bound to get harder.
