We expect voters to send pics of their ballots to LLMs to get advice - so we built a feature in CampSight that shows 2500 real responses from ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok on around 150 sample ballots. Take a look! getcampsight.ai/ballotsight

🎶 You wish that you could be like the cool kids 🎵 Preorders are live for Xmas delivery!
I feel like the whispering voice of @oldenoughtosay.com was in my ear when I decided this was how to spend an afternoon in October.
Hello! Help a librarian out? I'm doing a #library outreach thing for #unm medieval faire (will have lots of middle/hs kids at it). We are playing MEDIEVAL TRIVIA with low lift silly categories and guessable questions with PHOTOS from @jstor.bsky.social Images cited appropriately! ...

I'm sure we're all aware, but here is a detailed story about more of the bullshit our immigrant neighbors are having to put up with sahanjournal.com/immigration/...
I mean I dipped into my savings during METROSURGE, never mind my actial dedicated walking around money. My $10.00 here $5.00 there budget is gutted already. So it wasn't great but also it wasn't hard to say "I hope they win but I'm not donating if they don't stand up for trans people."
When Democrats do well this fall, we’re going to see a lot of “strategists” trying to take credit for their approach. The trans panic people have been nothing but a drag on Democratic momentum and they need to fuck off into the sun

cc @amyactonoh.bsky.social @jamestalarico.bsky.social It's not that hard, yo.
Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”
I think this is about occasion, not class. The White House is open to the public, Cheesecake factory is low-mid spendy and lots of people go there. The interior of Cheesecake Factory is intended to be taken down the minute the chain closes the location in whatever stripmall is no longer profitable.
Got a fundraising text from @amyactonoh.bsky.social. Hope she wins, her opponent is gross af. But I don't give money to candidates who won't push back against transpanic nonsense. It's real and personal.

She's here! I did not know and now I do!!
One of my favorite fall combinations, ever, roasted winter squash is half-mashed with a tangy mess of vinegar-maple onions then heaped on ricotta toasts and finished with fresh mint. It's great for a party appetizer, or light meal with a big salad. smittenkitchen.com/2014/10/squa...
Bud Nakasone married into my dad's family. When we'd bump into him at family events he was always really cool. We were lucky to know him. Prime Bud story: my brother and I took our dad to the openjng week of Minnesota's Greatest Generation at the MNHC... www.muellermemorial.com/obituaries/e...
Anyway, here's a link to one of his books: www.midwaybook.com/pages/books/...

Ok folks. A food recommendation. For like 2+ decades there’s been a Chinese shop on west seventh in STP called Golden Chow Main. A couple months ago the folks who run TORI RAMEN took this place over. OMG, as you would expect from those folks, the food is so good. GO GET IT EAT THERE!!
Went to the store while listening to a podcast episode about the Battle of Agincourt and without thinking too much about it came home with ingrédients for bouf bourguignon. Now the apt smells like beef stew. Thx @mattlewishistory.bsky.social @goingmedieval.bsky.social
Maybe a phone call to the mayor's office, comrades? This makes me sick to my stomach.
I should have mentioned that my office is Minneapolis Elections & Voter Services. The Mayor's budget eliminates seven staff members less than two weeks before an anxiety-inducing midterm. No more high school election judge program. No more voter outreach.
Oh god. I will probably still be dealing with the clutter my parents leave behind. I am not inflicting the digital equivalent of a bunch of file boxes of old receipts, slides no one has a projector to display, and a few gorgeous items of now-vintage clothing on anyone. Nope.
