No Country For Old Men was released on this day in 2007. Today I write about what it can tell us about how we think about death.

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

Beowulf (2007) is really funny because every character looks like their voice actor except for Beowulf, who kinda looks like Ray Winstone if you squinted and gave him cheekbones and abs

I often joke about the trapezoid in which I live my life (bordered by Hennepin on the west, Hiawatha on the east, 94 on the north and 46th st to the south) and anywhere else is occupied and hostile territory but seeing this election map makes me feel like I've made the right call
I know some folks were asking for something like this (@meshm.bsky.social iirc) So I made a quick dot density map of the first choice Minneapolis mayoral results. This allows you to see two things that choropleth maps can't show... umn.maps.arcgis.com/apps/mapview...

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
