Yeah, that was an embarrassment. I just talked to someone from Australia who brought up the shooting that started these after they found out I’m from Minnesota. I’d like to say that we got better, but there have been a few minor incidents since

Hope it passes! I’m kind of meh on the whole idea of the lottery as a tax on poor people that are bad at math, but given that it exists, I’d rather the money be used for stuff like this.
On a related note, it’d be nice if laws generally had built-in expiration dates like this. Not all laws, but lots of them should probably require people to say “yeah, this is still good and relevant”
They’re also working with browser developers to push htmx into web standards, so that hopefully soon you won’t even need htmx/JS/etc, it’ll just be what your browser does by default
A lot of the web is powered by JS, but much less of it needs to be. Here’s a couple of sites that are part of a trend to not unnecessarily introduce it:
The negative implications for Google requiring JS is that they will use it to track everything possible about you that they can, even down to how you move your cursor, or how much battery you have left on your phone in order to jack up prices, or any other number of shitty things.
King is playing a much less challenging game of Spot, which, yes, is about dogs, with an older man named Richard, whose white beard and flopped red cap are suitably Dungeon Master-y. King describes him as something of a local legend and folks try to guess how many games he has at home. We’re all too low; he reportedly has 7,000.
I’ve been in Richard’s basement before. I think the board games are a structural part of his house at this point, you keep looking around and seeing more games the longer you look
That sucks. I agree with this guy:
Three commissioners voted no, including Tom Olsen.
“If these other organizations so badly want this area fenced off, they should do it themselves. We don’t have to be the ones implementing this, because our constituents do not want it, and it is indeed really important ground jewel of our park system,” Olsen said.
Moomin went woke, unreadable
(/s, in case that’s necessary)
Some background on this comic:
I wonder why the caption in this one has been changed. Gary Larson doesn’t seem like he’d request that
Could very well be a mobile thing. I was pretty annoyed recently when logging into gcal for work on my phone, it refused to let me sign in without giving them my cell phone number. When I switched to wifi, it stopped bugging me, so clearly they pay attention to that sort of signal.
Sometimes, yeah. My default is DDG, and I also use Kagi, but Google is still good at some stuff. Guess I’ll take the hit and just stop using it completely though. Kagi has been good enough, and also lets me search the fediverse for finding that dank meme I saw last week. Google used to be able to do that, but can’t shove as many ads in those queries I assume, so they dropped that ability.
It’s nice to read a fact check that isn’t “everything he said is not even wrong, it’s just verbal diarrhea”. I’ll take someone this wrong over pet-eating bullshit any day:
He has said in interviews and during other speaking engagements that he was in China during the massacre. He was not. He traveled there later that year.
He used to claim he’d been there “about 30” or “dozens” of times, but after APM Reports and MPR News questioned how that was possible, his campaign acknowledged the real number of trips from the U.S. to China was “closer to 15.”
Time to go yell at the city council 📣
Some background on this comic:
Yeah, I noticed that. I wonder if they’re A/B testing on the website, because I saw a physical paper with a much more neutral headline of “More records sought on police”
Jeff Potts, the executive director of the Minnesota Chief of Police Association, said Moriarty’s positioning stands in contrast with other counties in the state and how law enforcement worked with Hennepin County in the past.
“I would say that it’s probably indicative of the relationship that she is creating with the police chiefs,” Potts said. “Most other county attorneys are doing this in a way that is probably equally effective. However, their style is more cooperative and collaborative. This county attorney has chosen to use court orders to obtain information.”
Thanks for posting this! Great idea, feel free to post more like it 🙂
Nice! I read your comment before trying to guess, so can’t cheat and make my own guess. In retrospect, I can pick out details that help make out where this is. I should try geoguessr, I’ve heard it’s pretty fun
Nice! I hadn’t heard of RiverFirst (which handled Hall’s Island) before, but I like it:
Before Minneapolis was the “city of lakes,” we were a river city.
Now open in 2021, two new RiverFirst projects – Water Works at Mill Ruins Park and the Overlook at 26th Ave N. RiverFirst is a vision for transforming 11 miles of once-industrial Mississippi Riverfront as it flows through the heart of Minneapolis into a welcoming place for all people through improved habitat and miles of new interconnected parks and trails.
Yeah, if you can afford it and think of like that, that’s cool
