Taught my kids how to draw the cool S earlier tonight. My oldest just thanked me. You’re welcome, son.

If I was a fundamental $TSLA investor, I’d be disappointed they wasted resources on an unmarketable stunt. But then, TSLA hasn’t been valued based on fundamentals since at least COVID.

I know this is just one piece of anecdatum, but the early voting area of downtown’s Hennepin County Government center was very busy for a 2:45 on a Tuesday 3 weeks before the election.

It’s even more ridiculous at night

I may have found the best yard skeleton in South Minneapolis

The Witness was easily my game of 2016 by a mile and I co-sign.

if you're a moderately competent desktop computer user with the means to buy a few hard drives i think you have a duty to your iphone friends to become "the plex guy"

Despite Plex’s flexibility and general ease of use, I am unable to get it working without spending a minimum of fifteen minutes putzing around and running back and forth between my tv and pc. Every day I become my father even more

Oh wow. I recognize this guy. He posts on Fishbrain literally every day.

Humans are better at imagining risk than calculating it. We overweight rare, dramatic risks and underweight ordinary ones. That’s why we fear plane crashes more than falls or car accidents. AI is similar, governments and scammers use it to harm people today, but an imagined Skynet is scarier.

It’s telling that both me and a good high school friend were math nerds who wanted to get into physics, but both ended up with Chartered Financial Analyst designations and do investing work now. Not quite sure what it’s telling of, but it seems telling.

I find it remarkable that the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom companion app (which I haven’t uninstalled for some reason) is STILL getting updates in late 2026.

The new Metroid looks okay but...really, enough of the gender swapping! Absolutely no reason for Samus to be a girl in this one other than to appeal to the woke gaming crowd 😞

I heard my son say he’s going to do the Great Fairy Fountain. I looked at what that was: standing over the still running bath and peeing into it.

A woman at the state fair caught me looking at her pickle slut shirt, grinned and did finger guns at me.

My family has no problems waking up before 7 on normal weekend days, but of course on the day we’re going to the Fair they all decide to sleep in.

These men shouldn’t be able to walk into a room without being spat on, shouted at, having their teeth knocked clean out. They’re THAT bad. They cannot be part of a civilized society. But instead so many with power have accommodated them, either with support, or simply the presumption of regularity.

My choice to switch to Bitwarden after the Lastpass fiasco of years ago is paying off yet again.

No!

In 6th grade I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, then wrote a 4 page book report on how much its writing sucks compared to Final Fantasy Tactics.

Can’t sleep won’t sleep

I will take solace in Klobuchar winning because my former MAGA boss went to high school with her and hates her guts so I know she’s fuming over the fact Klobuchar will likely be her Governor soon.

My wife took our 4 year old to vote this morning (MPLS 13-10). He loudly and repeatedly reminded her not to vote for the person who voted for ICE

God I wish Klobuchar was DSA.

”Your teeth are really tiny. I recommend cosmetic work like veneers.” I was 15 years old and she was a new dentist for me.

My wife and I are scheduling child care so we can see The Odyssey on Friday. The last time we did this for a movie was 2023.

Before Reporting the text as spam, I made sure to save this graphic from the MN GOP.

Oh my god I think I found the video.

My condolences @iznaut.com

Look at the checkmate I achieved with 0.1 seconds on the clock.

Huge get for NYT

He’s right, BUT it’s important to understand MSCI is the largest seller of climate benchmarking data.

I would be over the moon happy if Hong won governorship in WI. BUT. I wouldn’t be able to maintain my righteous holier-than-thou attitude towards Wisconsin when we elect Klobuchar, so it’s impossible to say if this is bad or not

The Hennepin County Government Center in downtown is also open for all Hennepin County residents. It was empty during the lunch rush today.

Just voted early at the Hennepin County Government Center downtown. I was the 63rd Minneapolitan to vote early there today.

I learned that @naomikritzer.bsky.social has already blogged about all of my down ballot races, and I work downtown, so I no longer have any excuse not to vote over my lunch break today.

I fucking hate this.

Over lunch I was watching two guys play chess on one of the giant boards they put out on Nicollet Mall. His opponent was going to pin his rooks with a bishop so long as he didn’t move the knight protecting that square. He moved his knight to the same diagonal. I had to walk away

My seven year old has gotten so into soccer that he’s started putting product in his hair

Speed. I think I was like 7. My current 7 year-old son can barely handle pg-13.

Have you tested your smoke alarm lately? We recommend testing them once a week and you should have one installed per floor of your home.
