I understand why MPD put this on my car (it was available to park there this morning but they covered the spots in the afternoon and allowed me to pay for the spot) but they put this big non-removable sticker right where I’d need to look and see my mirror….

I’m still salty about when I played this game and there was a cash prize for a tournament bracket and when I was close to winning, they pulled me out of the bracket. 😒

I’ve noticed some of the games will suddenly get easier or harder, they play off our brain’s reward centers so we will buy upgrades like gambling. I remember there was a free game that offered a cash prize if you won a challenge bracket in the hour, and when I was winning, it took the prize.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

We’ve been having a lot of small plane crashes lately and it seems like it’s pretty easy to get a pilot license. I feel bad asking this, but do we need more regulation with small planes?

Dr. Oz is on my flight right now. He is sitting in the very first seat, front row. I saw him get on the plane. So when I stepped off the jetway onto the plane I approached him and put my hand out. What the man in charge of healthcare for the people on the very margins of society said…was revealing

The Minneapolis Police Department is on the scene of a shooting in the area of 15 E Grant St. involving multiple victims, including two police officers. Please avoid the area. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.

And even if people don’t lose eligibility, the system is requiring more paperwork to process, more interviews conducted, more mail being sent and received, more medical documentation on file while cutting those supports and funding.

Between July 2025 & June 2026, SNAP enrollment in Louisiana fell by 21%. Almost half of the roughly 170,000 Louisianans who lost food assistance were children. www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

Medium take: Give it a bigger space and just admit you’ve got a smash hit.

Hot take: Crop Art has outgrown the State Fair. The MIA, Walker, or MNHS should be lining up to host a 6-8 week crop art exhibit. Or it becomes MNs best roadside attraction, ala the Corn Palace.

Instagram suggested a new account to follow and it's a guy I long-distance online dating for... 4 months when I was 18 (and he was 29) and I broke with him and moved on. I'm 32 now. I went to his account to block him. Why was this new account only following my account and nobody else?

This is a little silly because I never thought about it, but I just interacted with a Deaf individual and when I handed him a note, he signed it to himself just like how a person who speaks would quietly read it out loud to themselves.

I’m kinda peeved because our local courtroom sketch artist in the twin cities is likely using AI (as it has that piss tint and his style changed from unique and interesting to looking generic) and the press is publishing it. We have so many high profile cases with AI slop sketches.

August is Overdose Awareness Month, a time to honor lives lost, support those family and friends impacted, and raise awareness about prevention and recovery. Join us throughout the month as we build toward the culminating event on August 31, International Overdose Awareness Day.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

I’m happy this guy considers himself part of the Twin Cities but I think I can answer the question he says “we” should be asking: residents of Prescott, Wisconsin paid zero of their dollars to build Metro Transit’s light-rail system, and pay zero dollars to police it.

imagine getting dunked on by Playboy for being weird about women’s bodies

Playboy@playboy.com

What are the incel men up to over on X? Focussing on a quirk of women’s bodies most of us have never even thought about before now. Our take? "Making women mad and getting likes from fellow incels is all they have going for them." Read now: www.playboy.com/read/sex/the...

I was on my way home last night and around a mile or two from my house, I saw twin fawns that I usually see by my yard and was wondering how they got so far away. But then when I turned onto my block, I saw the twins I was thinking of. Y’all, my area has two sets of twin fawns! 🥰

Considering the owner of the lettuce supplier is a HUGE Trump supporter, would I be surprised if the owner called Trump and said, "As a supporter, I have the right to poison people and get away with it," to which Trump said, "OKAY!"? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Yesterday, we had a guy who was likely drunk and needed help ordering a new EBT card and he didn’t like that there’s a $2 a replacement fee. He swore at the agent, accepted it, told the agent he loved her, and hung up. He then said “hey” to security and flipped the bird at them on the way out.

Trump and Republicans radically raised health insurance premium costs -- doubling them on average -- and so 5 million Americans who used to have health insurance now can't afford it. More than half the people who have this kind of health insurance live in GOP districts: www.npr.org/2026/06/26/n...

I had a misunderstanding with a creator on Threads. I thought she was correcting OP and saying it wasn’t a Hmong garment because she said “Ah, Hmong, no.” but I was apparently supposed to know that she’s Indian and uses that as a question (with no question mark) and then she decided to attack me?

The thing is, I am a civil servant and I interact with all kinds of people and I often am with people when they’re not their best selves. Many folks I work with are disabled, experiencing poverty, and have TBIs or mental illness. I give everybody the benefit of the doubt and am polite.

If she really thought I was correcting her, she could have said, “wow, you seem to know this is Hmong immediately, how can you tell?” And I could have said, “the bride posted it was Hmong in the post, and it looks a lot like what I see my Hmong neighbors and community wear for formal events!”

I was asking how it wasn’t a Hmong wedding in good faith. The bride said it was Hmong (which I guess she missed) and didn’t put a question mark. I know she’s an academic so I was curious, she could have said, “I wasn’t telling her it wasn’t Hmong, I was asking if it was Hmong”.

But instead she decided to post me to her page and call out my race, say I must be racist and bad at my job, bring up my marriage and claim that my entire identity is being in an interracial marriage, and also include my location…
