I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...

This is me politely asking you all to review this skeet and, as a result, think twice before engaging in "smell-this 'activism.'"

DID YOU SEE THIS AWFUL THING THIS AWFUL MAN SAID

HOW ABOUT THIS TERRIBLE GUY, ISN'T IT HE TERRIBLE

OK, so... why are you his street team? Why are you signal-boosting?
The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Strib quotes its own board member saying disgraced Minneapolis Chamber CEO Jonathan Weinhagen’s downfall “could make a TV movie“ though I don’t think they’d characertize other fraudsters that cutesy. Anyway, Weinhagen pal & beneficiary Jacob Frey ducks comment. www.startribune.com/jonathan-wei...
Former Minneapolis Chamber CEO’s downfall ‘could make a TV movie’
Erstwhile wunderkind Jonathan Weinhagen hastily left the chamber after an internal investigation discovered $290,000 missing. He is expected to enter a plea Monday on fraud charges.

Northwestern and Columbia being famous for journalism and bending over for Trump seems a little too on the nose these days
This is the second largest payout from a private university to the Trump admin yet, second only to Columbia’s $200m

The people want cargo bikes.

Help us ensure we have the resources to grow @mplscargobikelibrary.com sustainably in 2026!

Casual reminder that using fatphobia, homophobia, transphobia, any sort of religious slur, or other hate is not an acceptable form of critique against your enemies either.
