Skyline: I voted early, then moved out of state. Can I change my address with USPS (to forward mail) without risking ballot issues?

If you start up your “AI”, it just sits there and does nothing unless prompted. If you wake up, you pretty much can’t stop yourself from immediately generating thoughts. I think there’s a difference here somewhere but I just can’t figure out what it is…

I’d make at least 25 other Millionaires, or 50 very wealthy people, or 100 wealthy folks.

question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

If I was running (thank god I’m not because I am not interested nor qualified), I’d just say “yeah, fraud sucks. It sucks that people try to do fraud. When we find it, we should prosecute it, like we are doing. Next question?”

I don’t get this whole fraud angle in MN politics right now. The fraud happened, yes, but were prosecuting it, right? And isn’t that what you do with fraud? Like, what would being “tough on fraud” look like other than… that?

This is why it’s so disappointing when Klob takes the bait on “fraud” (and “gang violence”).

UNEARTHED: Ken Paxton caught on video partying with fugitives in Dubai. The fugitives were charged with healthcare fraud and helped bankroll Paxton’s campaign.

I read these history takes, talking about things like Ukraine’s “revolution of dignity” and I just think, why is this entire election branded as a partisan “business as usual” ouster of the repubs? We should be rallying behind some “OBEY” type shit. Where are all the ad execs?!? They asleep????????

Punk klezmer band getting a grape vine started while the Sea Salt line has been 1.5+ hrs long and the sandwich shop ran outta meats. That probably only makes sense if you’re from Minneapolis.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

Imagine if the MPD wanted drones for this reason

Going to the beach this weekend? Our lifeguards are ready for you. NYC Emergency Management, Parks, and FDNY have been conducting life-saving rescue drills with drones all summer to prepare for emergencies before they happen. Have fun. Stay safe. We've got you.

I think it was the “business is booming because we pretended to change the name of a lake!!” post that finally did me in. I am now insane.

Read another way, centrist politics are right wing politics.

Alternative für Deutschland—the German fascist party—received the most votes in today's election in Saxony-Anhalt, though not enough to form a government alone. The polls show that support for centrists is collapsing. Betting on the status quo is a losing proposition. It's time for radical change.

“Person who creates gun is shocked that it can cause damage” this is what all the coverage of OpenAI’s breach of Hugging Face sounds like.

Can we put the MPD into receivership until the exec branch is able to demonstrate that it’s able to effectively lead the department?

Council President Payne with a question for city attorney: what is the remedy to the executive branch's failure to comply with reasonable requests for information as mandated by city charter?

I refuse to be the only one on here that reads more than just the headline of an article, so know that all my takes are 100% vibes based. Disclosed here first.

Let me recap: the MPD is 30 million over budget, helped Lang plan his riot, set up barricades for him, let him drive multiple vehicles into a crowded area, one of the cop had their foot run over, and now we can’t press charges because the cops are in on it in the first place.

Unicorn Riot@unicornriot.bsky.social

Citing “extensive evidence of communication and logistical coordination between the Minneapolis Police Department and Lang’s security detail,” prosecutors will not press felony riot charges against white supremacist provocateur Edward Jacob “Jake” Lang for his latest hate rally in Minneapolis.
