I'm always curious how much a view of what's "necessary" factors into polls like this. Obviously people need groceries too, which are farther down the list, but I feel like many in the US would view housing and gas as essentials to their daily life, whereas a new car could be seen as optional.
Same! Will be eager to sit down for multiple repeat listens!
"Those wussbags of the past believed in some basic rules of engagement and war crimes. Not anymore!"
If I were a vet, I'd be so damn offended by his BS.
Can't wait for the album and pumped to see him in Amsterdam in May!

Sometimes you can get your own souvenir piece when they're tearing it out 😜
Yes.
Cheap and designed to fail - it's the American Way!
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
WHEN: Monday, March 9, 10:00 am Where: Saint Paul Dethloon The blight on Midway that was the former CVS on Snelling and University is going to be demolished on Monday. Come celebrate! Bring a chair. Bring treats to share. Bring a musical instrument. Bring and share with friends. Bring your senior prom dress. Bring your toddler. Most of all, bring joy and your love for Saint Paul! If you are able, consider making a donation to Keystone Community Services, a legacy organization providing assistance to those in need for nearly a hundred years. I'm not sure yet how to do this safely and securely, but I'll get it figured out by Monday. NOTE: Start time is based on hearsay, and will be updated when I can find specific information.
Invite your friends! I have a pretty small #SaintPaul #St.Paul #StPaul reach here, so please share. Let's make this a demolition to remember.
We need better Democrats.
Not a single dollar more for Trump’s illegal war.
I started putting tater tots in breakfast burritos years ago and it's a true revelation.
That was my comment exactly. They're essentially bringing back parking minimums. This current council has been disappointing, from allowing low rise sprawl to this and more.
I think it's the best they could get with a Council that doesn't seem to value walkability or public space.
Of course, the real issue here is a lack of leadership on the part of Bob Fletcher.
A good reminder that police can choose actions that make us safer, or choose to be reckless action-movie-wannabes, and they too often chose the second one, with predictable results.
I feel like we should throw a celebration party at the Loon to mark this occasion.
This morning I was about to have to take evasive actions to avoid getting hit in a crosswalk by a driver turning right without looking my way, but instead he pulled out his phone and started staring down at that.
Win? 🙃🤡
If we get through this, the U.S. will have to dramatically change its relationship with the International Criminal Court and be okay with sending a lot of Americans there.
Instead, when I've done that to people, I've had them literally lose their mind and give me the finger, honk, yell, etc. Driving cars make some people just go unhinged.
Amazing work.
Literally that's exactly what this entire administration is about. Crazy how well that applies in the reverse direction.
clearly the secret correct answer is that both of these are worse than the gen x option: to have cognition so dulled by lead poisoning that you are entirely insulated from any possible impact of these intrusive thoughts.
Beautiful!
This is half the problem with the United States waging unnecessary wars in other places. Americans themselves have no idea how horrible and disruptive this violence is to other people, but instead only feel inconvenienced by how much it will cost to fuel their fucking SUV.
City staff have placed a sign unnecessarily blocking a bike lane
A thoughtful passerby has moved the sign
Quick question for @seankershaw.bsky.social
What's SPPW policy on temporary sign placement? There was more than ample space in the boulevard for this sign, yet it was placed blocking the bike lane, meaning the bike lane wasn't "closed ahead", but closed now.
Are we great again yet?
just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.
you have until March 23rd to comment.
i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.
“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me
