The city auditor raised concerns with MPD’s compliance with the city auditor’s office way before the election.

It is a complete malpractice to not name who is in charge of MPD. It’s depressing to see publications not hold Mayor Frey accountable.
The Minneapolis Police Department is ordering its officers to cooperate with the city auditor’s office amid a probe into how it handled two high-profile cases after a city official raised accusations of stonewalling.
Minneapolis auditor says lack of police cooperation in dual probes is creating costly delays
The police department’s second-in-command has issued a memo saying “Failure to comply shall result in discipline.”

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Y’all. So there is a safehouse full of women in the city. About 10 I think. We’ve secured the funding from private donors and are gonna contact the heads of the safehouse to pay off ALL the women’s rents for a month for Christmas!

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

108 years ago, the US military carried out the largest mass execution in American history. In December 1917, the military hanged 13 soldiers. Another 6 were hanged less than a year later.

Yes...they were all Black soldiers.

It's best known as the Houston Riot of 1917

Trump is dining with top Wall Street executives at the White House tonight — just months after giving them a huge tax cut in his Big Ugly Bill.

Meanwhile, his regime is continuing to withhold SNAP benefits for millions of hungry Americans.

On November 11, 1887, four anarchists were hanged, after being found guilty of murder of a cop in Chicago's Haymarket Square, though the prosecutor admitted that they were actually tried for being anarchists.

I straight up told my boyfriend that this is my worst fear (he doesnt gamble in any way and has no debt).

I could love a partner through anything. Sickness. Drug addiction.

But GAMBLING? I’ll leave you immediately. I’ll leave you over the slot machines at the casino. Gambling is the LINE for me.
Kept waiting for at least one of these stories to end with, "And then I left him," but (of course), nope. The most bonkers through-line here is that none of these couples have kids (yet) and it sounds like every women had glaring red flags *before* getting married. 🫠

Alllllll the time. Spouse and I still say “terrorist fist jab” when doing this
Do yall remember this?

In 2008, Barack and Michelle Obama gave each other a fist bump on the campaign trail.

Do you remember the controversy?

(Why would there be controversy? everyone gives fist bumps!!)

FOX News referred to it as a "terrorist fist bump."

AI tools can be super useful for certain research tasks, sorting and analyzing huge data sets for instance. in some specific areas it makes a transformative difference. but these are all pretty niche use cases compared to the trillions of dollars being invested into the tech

There is a famous mantra from the movie Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come." This applies very well to the punishment bureaucracy. It is not the solution to what ails the human spirit, our collective society, or the desperate planet. Never let anyone scare you into forgetting that.
