The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

2 points are 2 points, but #MNWild never should have given up that last minute goal. Good for Wallstadt to get first win at home.

I have yet to find a bra that really works well in all aspects for less than $75. I did find one Gap Sports bra that wasn't super supportive, but was comfortable and not "un" supportive. Of course they discontinued it.

The art of taking flat two dimensional pieces and turning it into 3 dimensions depends on way more than just the sewing machine.

The math! The geometry! The knowledge of fabrics! The knowledge of seams!

Bo Thompson @gaudipern.bsky.social · 6h

All of this to say: Any sewist who has made more than the most rudimentary projects will likely laugh themselves to tears if you suggest that the solution to clothing prices is to just make "better sewing machines." I'm sure your heart is in a good place, but you definitely have never sewn anything.

Late last month, a local CBS reporter said a masked ICE agent fired a pepper ball at her car, causing her to vomit for hours. The reporter, Asal Rezaei, said there was no protest happening at the time. Police are now investigating.

"In Belém, we have the first COP to take place in a new reality: the first where we can be sure that we WILL cross limits" is a really interesting shift in climate diplomacy-related rhetoric. And look, there've been 29 of these and here we are; might as well shake shit up.

Trying to manage #Eldercare while in the middle of #Vertigo episode is not fun. Of course she's making it all about her, how she's worse. No mum, I can't sit and listen to what was on the View today I need to go lie so my head doesn't move. 😔

The eastbound/northbound A Line stop at 46th & Minnehaha in Minneapolis has finally been repaired after being hit by a vehicle quite a while ago (year-plus?) which damaged the shelter and took out the fare validator and ticket machines

However, the bench and bike hitching posts didn't come back

MPD was fully funded & fully staffed in 2020 and look what we had. We don't need more police, especially the ones we have. We need better Public Safety. More investigators of Domestic Violence as a priority, also gun trafficking investigations.

Alex Schieferdecker @alexschief.bsky.social · 7h

Think this Ramstad piece is spot on.

Critics of Minneapolis for not policing enough need to say *what* they would do differently. MPD is fully funded and hiring as fast as it can.

If they think that standards should be lowered, they should come out and say it.

Nearly 75% are experiencing more frequent and stronger extreme weather occurrences, significantly impacting agricultural output and livelihoods.

i'm not gonna lie, every time a genuine and influential figure dies (Miss Major, Jane Goodall, etc), it feels like the world got a little darker even though I know it's not possible for those same people to live forever. still, im glad to have lived in the same time as them
