It'd be even cooler if, in the accompanying story about Minnesota's business reputation, the TCB house style didn't prefer the phrase "the George Floyd riots."

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

ok so hooray for uncovering good music but these are two completely different genres for completely different moods whose only real similarity is that they are loud.

I am so tired of telling the machine I am not a robot.

Also the "violence is a necessary part of history and you should get used to it" ones are always the first ones to shout "ouchie! I saw a vandalism!"

I was always surprised and annoyed that local papers didn't develop their own low-paid craigslist-style classified sections. It's not that craigslist itself did damage but that media companies trusted 3rd party ad tech instead of creating their own monetization tech.

In high school, my folks drove me nearly two hours to the National Archives so I could research my History Day project, and I enjoyed it so much I eventually decided to organize information for a living. What a shame. "Business need" fuck you.

You CAN design a chatbot to know facts and answer questions with a knowledge graph, but that's not how the genpop tools are currently working.

The MPD targeted journalists and sources speaking to journalists in Minneapolis. We saw it. That military and police continue to do it elsewhere is no surprise.

Sam Altman, who has never had a "novel insight," is looking forward to the chatGPT finally helping him with the concept in 2026.

Who is the UX copywriting genius who originally coined "This might take longer"?

Chris Finch is probably really upset about George Wendt.

"The firing of Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter came after Perlmutter and her office earlier this week issued part three of a lengthy report about artificial intelligence and expressed some concerns and questions about the usage of copyrighted materials by AI technology."

My favorite thing about Chris Finch is that he simultaneously looks like Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson.

It wasn't. Disappointing, much like the entire public life of Mark Zuckerberg.

Tearing through Careless People -- absolutely rubbernecking at the hubris of all involved -- and I really hope this chapter is about Jesse Ventura.

No one has said "Sign o' the Times" so I will be a responsible Minneapolitan and throw it in the ring.
