@pookleblinky @sigridellis In Canada we had an orphan crushing machine with built-in orphan maker, and when we gathered as a nation to consider that might have been a bad idea, Senator Lynn Beyak said, yeah, okay, but we’re not considering all the GOOD it did when it ran.

@axl99 How did he manage that, when both Wendig and the Internet Archive say Wendig wasn’t involved in the lawsuit? Are you blaming him instead of the publishing corporations doing the suing, because he called it a pirate website once four years ago?

fuck you chuck wendig the internet archive was a net good and you just took that away from generations of people who need a source of truth

@pronounced_kyle When it melts because space is not cold, it is a thermos, with no heat to give but also nothing to take heat away from your sixteen square kilometer solar heat absorber, how big will the molten blob of goo be?

This is the size of their solar array: 16km² Assuming they're deploying to LEO, it would be larger than the moon in the night sky.

@ErinInTheMorn @chrislhayes Can I get in on this imaginary free surgery deal? Conservatives have a talking point about “you’d be on a three year waitlist in Canada” but I’ve had five years with no progress on my back pain because I can’t afford it, and three years waiting beats never.

@chrislhayes I know a number of trans women who have paid $25k for surgeries with multi-year waiting periods and several letters and apparently Trump thinks teachers are doing them in the nurses offices?

not just imposing the surgeries, but actually doing them...at school?

@Rushthewriter I’m not a religious man but I’ve read some of their stories, and it seems to me you’ve gotta have some balls to quote scripture while abandoning public duty without notice because the moneylenders offered you 30 pieces of silver.

Whoa! Iowa Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg is stepping down.

@wpb003 As a Canadian in Minneapolis, I would advise the poster: - if at all possible, STAY IN CANADA - if you have to move to the USA for some reason, the Twin Cities is by far the least bad part.

@FoundEpisodes What are you using to make the capsule summary images, and would you be willing to share your template? I’d like to do something similar for our Star Trek RPG sessions.

@pikeshorse Gotta disagree with you on that last point, not for any knock against Enterprise, but because we live in a world where WKRP In Cincinnati and Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers are shows that had theme songs. Block if you must. youtu.be/9Se_cC4nvx8

@gaghyogi49 You wouldn’t steal a RATION CARD

If you're old, like me, you might remember that once ubiquitous anti-piracy ad ("You wouldn't steal a car"), seen on many DVDs before the actual feature. Well, turns out it was filmed in Sanctuary District A (#StarTrekDS9's "Past Tense I+II"➡️). youtube.com/watch?v=_FtE0S…

@SpaceBasedFox I don’t know where @TraceBeaulieu went, but I heard @kwmurphy saw him headed down to the Harmony module with a pickaxe.

Starliner crew reports hearing strange "sonar like noises" emanating from their craft. This is the real audio of it:

@MN9_Kels @IanColdwater Your “point?”

@naeisel @IanColdwater Your "lawyer" 🤡

@MN9_Kels @IanColdwater “Mpls was on fire” Two blocks. Two blocks burned. “Never recovered” well my lawyer’s office literally next door to that liquor store sure “recovered” quick enough.

@IanColdwater Mpls was on fire, karen. And, it's never recovered.

@TeaPainUSA No sir, not burnED, still burning after four years. In the ashes there is nowhere to hide from Ilhan Omar’s roving DEI enforcement packs trying to transgender me with a stolen catalytic converter. Only an authoritarian law & order dictator with >30 felonies can save us.

Trump just claimed "Minneapolis is burned down. They never built it back." Can any Minnesotans confirm this?

@NWSTwinCities The WC0HC Hennepin Co repeater usually comes in fine in east Bloomington but it’s barely readable this afternoon. Please consider activating W0BU Burnsville @metroskywarn

@RTodKelly I’m really impressed at how Team Trump is pulling fake drama stunts from late 1990s MTV reality shows. Oh no the host has been building up the whole episode toward an @InSoc reunion as if a member hadn’t declined when asked months before filming, how could he not show up?

Everything about the Trump Arlington story is bananas, but maybe the *most* bananas part was the actual plan itself: to secretly film a fake established memorial event & then claim Harris refused to attend. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trumps-…

@GenericRoblox10 @nadocast Well, when I’m wrong, I admit it.

12Z Day 2 Tornado Forecast for 2024-8-29 (New New 2022 Models)

@NWSTwinCities Sure did, because you pushed a wake-up call to my weather radio. And while that wasn’t the most pleasant way to wake up, I’d rather be awake for it than not.

Anyone else have an early wake-up call this morning? #mnwx #wiwx

@ftw_cool I want this so much, but I have to ask people from Seattle or Spokane; is there any reasonable corridor for HSR tracks through your metro areas? Because I lived in Surrey BC, and short of digging a tunnel from the border right to downtown Vancouver, hahahaha no.

Washington State High Speed Rail

@BostonMassUSA Light rail with sleeper service, you madmen, I’m in. We’re already on it in Minnesota, the green line from St.Paul to Minneapolis is being extended to Eden Prairie, so we can just keep extending off that to Seattle.
