Mary had a little lamb, Its pelage alabaster; Her omnipresent chaperone Persistently harassed 'er Its chilling uluations! Its wool so strangely luminant! Mary's days were haunted By this unremitting ruminant

Sir Humpleberry Dumptington Reposed upon the summit Of a balustrade, until he made A devastating plummet; The armies of His Majesty, In all their fine regalia, With colts and mares, assayed repairs But came to nought but failure

Ok folks -- what's your go-to spot for a group lunch in the Twin Cities? Can be in any location in the metro, but must have seating for groups of at least 15 people and options for $10 or so.

I’d somehow missed the news that you can now sign up to permanently/automatically receive absentee ballots for all elections you’re eligible to vote in here in Minnesota. So cool! www.sos.state.mn.us/about-the-of... www.sos.state.mn.us/elections-vo... www.sos.state.mn.us/elections-vo...

I wanna light a candle in the darkness & maybe you can help. A tiny local-local publication, Southwest (Mpls) Voices, has tried to fill the gap left by the Southwest Journal, which I once edited.

After asking the government (or private foundations) to pay for the costs of doing research, we conduct the research and write papers about it that our peers review for free, then we donate those papers to for-profit companies that sell them back to us at high prices. This is considered normal.

ok i have another quote tweet prompt. what's something, big or small, related to your job or hobby, that most people don't know that you would like to have them know? it can be a concept, a piece of history, some vocabulary, or something else.

The will do this the minute the bots actually start functioning.

i think we should stop giving our ai bots female names (alexa, siri) and give them names from the old white boys club (john, james, chad) in honor of how overconfident and annoying they are even when they’re completely wrong or making stuff up

As someone who's born and raised in the MENA and I know heat: do not go outside during the hottest part of the day, do not go for a walk, do not decide to do DIY, do not do manual labor, just do not! You can weed your damn garden at 7pm. Go back inside, turn on the ac/fan, hydrate, eat popsicles.
