C.S. Lewis’ incredible observation on friendship

Fyi she's not on Twitter anymore but Isabel Pabán Freed just dropped an essay on her site that settles both art fungibility discourse and Sally Rooney Marxism discourse for good:

woke up mad as fuck at the hill & lake press again

Little is known about what this activity may mean, but there seems to be some kind of federal activity in La Crosse, Wi and abouts.

WotC declined to voluntarily recognize our union by Friday, May 1st. While we're disappointed in this delay, together we remain strong in our convictions. We look forward to sitting down at the bargaining table. #UWOTC unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/wizards-c…

never has minneapolis needed to celebrate the sun coming more than at the end of winter 2026. ICE are not gone completely, but we still won, and it was incredibly cathartic to see this play at mayday about protecting our neighbors, grounding why we did this work. i love this city

Hi my name is Guido Reichstadter & I'm currently occupying the top of the Frederick Douglass memorial bridge in Washington DC. I'm calling on the people of the United States to bring an immediate end to the Trump regime's illegal war on Iran and the removal of the regime power through mass nonviolent direct action and non-cooperation. I also want to urgently warn the people of the US and the world of the imminent danger we are in of crossing a point of no return towards the development of artificial intelligence which poses the risk of catastrophic harm to humanity, including human extinction. I call on the governments of the world to take immediate action to end this danger by permanently banning the development of artificial general intelligence and machine super intelligence. I also call on the people of the world to exert all possible influence through nonviolent action to compel their governments to end this danger with all possible speed.

I’m at the LAPD reporting some dumb shit and next to me are 2 ladies from the Scientology building trying to get whoever started the viral trespassing trend arrested LOOOOL

@yumtapwater I miss the Franklin/Cedar Tbell

My neighborhood is a taco bell desert, so when the bell rings for me I have to head over to Lake and 35W (or midway stp) You can tell the workers here are elite. I always try to eat inside any restaurant but naturally, table area was locked. That's ok, they probably seen a lot.

Wilhelm Reich had a few cool bits before he lost his fucking mind. He was really talking his shit here. (The Sexual Revolution)

A majority-progressive MPLS City Council. A MPLS DFL endorsement of DSA-aligned Omar Fateh. Multiple general strikes. Federal agents kidnapping and killing Minnesotans on our streets. And the DFL rightists' move is to attack their own left flank? Interesting strategy.

Are all locksmiths philosophers? Or just Minneapolis Lock & Key?

Currently prosecuting people who resisted ICE including a woman who leaned too hard into police tape causing it to break. The City should drop charges against those who *actually did something* to resist ICE, unlike Mayor Frey.

BREAKING: You checked the weather this morning. And you just told a surveillance company where you sleep. Meet #Webloc, used by ICE, cops & foreign govs to track 500m+ phones. No warrant required. Our latest @citizenlab investigation + how to protect yourself 🧵/1

I love the Mississippi River. I feel like Minnesotans don’t hype up the riv as much as we should.
