I’m in MPLS.

For work I manage software products; for music I like electronics, hip hop, etc; I watch tv and movies; complain about politics; and I have a cat.

How is this not the top headline? How does this not topple this idiot? Asking for a friend.
Text that says: At today's meetings, Trump repeated Russian talking points, complained about how poorly he is treated, said he had ended six wars, insisted that voting in the U.S. is full of fraud, d suggested he would cancel the 2028 elections. By the late afternoon, the president was unable to recognize President Stubb, who was sitting directly across the table from him. "President Stubb of Finland," Trump said. Looking around, Trump continued: "And he's uh, he's somebody that, where are we here? Huh? Where? Where?" Stubb said, "I'm right here." Trump focused on him and answered: "Oh. You look better than I've ever seen you look." l

Let’s just stop with this shit @semafor.com — this dingle berry’s actions don’t “hint” at anything. Take their actions at face value for what they are and the harm they will cause. There’s no “but maybe this time!!!” and it’s frustrating to be spoken down to like this.
Photo of a bald headed man who looks like he’s mansplaining something unimportant to a group of people. Credited to Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters Newsletter text that reads: The historic funding for immigration enforcement in US President Donald Trump's tax-and-spending bill reflects the expanding power of his top policy adviser, Stephen Miller, a commentator argued in The New York Times. The $45 billion allocated to ICE effectively gives Miller, an immigration hardliner, "his own private army," Jason Zengerle wrote. Miller served in Trump's first administration, but, like the president himself, appears unrestrained this time around: His influence has extended to the administration's battles around higher education, transgender rights, and foreign policy. But Trump has at times walked back maximalist immigration positions pushed by Miller, (this part is highlighted) ‘hinting "at a broader potential rupture,”’ (end highlight) Zengerle noted, and it remains to be seen I whether Miller will go the way of other Trump advisers-turned-adversaries.

Not even close? Someone print this out and send it to Elon. Or ask Grok to do it.

I have worn out most of my other “antique” Doomtree clothing but I still have these uncomfortable socks so I think I’ll wear them today.
Black socks with Doomtree’s “No Kings” emblem.

My favorite part of the parade were these grandmas that continuously stormed the castle.

I know that the Minnesota season of Love is Blind was a little dull/cringe, but this seems like a pretty aggressive swing that maybe went too far?

New insult just dropped, and I’m all for it.
Screenshot of news article that says “The internet quickly started mocking Vance for bungling this PR stunt of a trip so badly. People quipped that "Hating JD and Usha Vance has nited the world," while someone else hoped they "choke on fermented shark" and another person suggested that no one would want to put their furniture at risk around Vance, writing, "Who'd want to put their coach in danger like that?"” With ‘choke on fermented shark’ highlighted.

I’m sorry, what is this take? Journalists are being harassed by friends on X for being too soft on Biden? Huh?

I unsubscribed from the NYTs many months ago, and switched to reading @axios.com hoping it’d be less ridiculous.
8:061 V 46 Axios AM: Mad medi... - the damage was done when 50+ million saw the debate. The intrigue: Don't underestimate reporters' bitterness at this White House. • A natural tension always exists. But this is different: Biden has operated in a protective bubble, often hermetically sealed from tough questioning. Many reporters believe the White House hid signs of Biden's aging, and played them or badgered them when they did push on the topic. • Many are being harassed on social media for being too soft on Biden. In our experience, most reporters are more insecure than people think, and highly sensitive to how friends and foes see them, especially on X. This helps explain the recent eruptions by correspondents at the daily on-camera press briefings. (In this archaic ritual, reporters sit with their competitors and share what's on their minds, in return for predictable talking points. But we digress.) く

This! This is the failing of our media, reporting on the “horse race” of politics rather than, idk, actual life??

From “Letters from an American.”
Text reads: In the midst of this political coverage, a key story has been largely overlooked. Not only does the stock market continue to set record highs, but also, as Jim Tankersley of the New York Times reported, the so-called left-behind counties, distressed after the collapse of manufacturing in them, have “added jobs and new businesses at their fastest pace since Bill Clinton was president.” “That turnaround,” he notes, “has shocked experts.” More than 1,000 counties, mostly in the Southeast and Midwest, that grew at less than half the national rate in terms of both people and income from 2000 to 2016, have surged. From 2016 to 2019—mostly during Trump’s administration—those rural left-behind counties, which make up about 18% of the U.S. population, added 10,000 jobs. In 2023 alone, they added 104,000. Tankersley notes that Trump overwhelmingly won the support of voters in these counties, but their circumstances did not improve during his administration. Under Biden, they ad…

Is WaPo using “Democratic” to refer to just Democrats? Is it fully understood now that Republicans are “Fascist”?

I think the biggest loser is all of us, followed by anyone who likes to publish their work. Idk if Google would even crack the top ten.
Screenshot of Axios email, with quote from Perplexity’s CEO Srinivas highlighted, saying: “In a world where everyone gets answers and doesn’t have to click on links, the biggest loser is Google.”

Welp, after sitting inside for 5 hours at the SD63 caucus, I came out to a clipped bike lock and my semi-new e-bike gone. 😫
