Skyline of Minneapolis, framed by a suspension bridge, reflected in smooth water at sunset
I'm very grateful to have captured this image of Minneapolis related in the Mississippi at sunset
Okay fine we're doing a little origin story thread: how did I become a horse game consultant and what does that even mean? 🧵

No notes 🤌🏻
semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out
I will immediately do a max contribution to @aoc.bsky.social if she primaries Schumer
This *vocalized* moral clarity is so desperately needed everywhere:
They are Peter Thiel linked. I believe he was more involved in their founding than this article states. Many (all?) of his recent companies take their names from Lord of the Rings. It's very questionable how he understands the books.
The reason so many of yesterday’s free-speech champions transitioned so easily into today’s pro-Trump censors is that their definition of free speech never included the right of others to talk back. They were not defending a universal right to freedom of speech; they were defending a right to monologue. They could say what they want, and you could shut up and like it. The cynicism of the effort can be known by its fruits: an administration that issues executive orders “protecting” free speech while engaging in the most sweeping campaign of state censorship since the Red Scare.
The “free speech” and “cancel culture” panics have led to overt state censorship because that was always their purpose. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...
It all started in 1955 with a misprint in a Colorado newspaper and a call to Col. Harry Shoup's secret military hotline. Shoup played along with the tiny voice who called, and a tradition was born. From the NPR archives.
Hell yeah sister.

Reading the news on AI startups and all the claims of high ARR. Always makes me wonder, what is their starting point for the ARR and how often do they adjust this?
lmao
As someone with Norwegian ancestry, while this description is technically correct, I'm not sure most people will consider this as tasty as it sounds when they actually try it.
Today I learned that NASA has a collection of free ebooks that can be downloaded as pdfs or ebub format.
The science books even include a children’s section with fun activites and coloring books!

ICE and CBP will have a heavy presence in Wake County starting tomorrow. These are actions that can be done in under 15 minutes and know your rights information. Please read the information and share with others.
Use Ojonc.org which tracks ICE and CBP activity that is verified.
I'm confused by the piece in the article saying record companies are signing AI artists to deals. How does that work and why would you do this when presumably you could just create your own AI artist? I am very tired of the unserious people in the world.
You are in between their seasonal offerings, so nothing until next month when eggnog and peppermint show up.
I regret to inform you that you have just missed the window for the pumpkin pie shake from Cookout, where they put an entire piece of pie in the shake.
Based on past comments Ford's CEO recognized Chinese companies are absolutely beating them. Ford seems to be massively retooling around a new EV platform and I believe just had a fire at the F150 plant, so that might have hastened this announcement. It's hard to tell what is bluster vs not.
It's really cool that some of the original sit-inners were present for the unveiling of this memorial.

I wish everyone in tech, as well as other fields with a lot of H1-B workers, would read this very clear argument for why the new $100k H1-B fee is a disaster for America. The author analyzes a recent paper quoted by the regime to argue that H1-Bs reduce the salaries of citizens.
ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert
Ah yes, except even in the before times this still wouldn't be inspected since they count as a supplement.
Marco Rubio whispers into Donald Trump's ear.
“A second inflatable frog has now been spotted wiggling through Portland.”
Which taco truck? I might need to give it a try.
All of this is racist and terrible, but the part that kills me: DHH isn't British! He is Danish. He literally isn't a native Brit and can't be! And does he still live in ... Chicago? As an immigrant! He's just trying to follow the Elon Musk play book it seems.
Wouldn't an upholstered wood product be a couch? Guess they didn't want to upset JD.
