@wentrogue.bsky.social hey when I lived in Uptown in the 90s, I worked in Saint Paul and was often in the Seven Corners neighborhood. I only very recently learned there's also a Seven Corners in Minneapolis near The U. Do you know if the latter was an organic moniker or did they borrow from StP?

when will "help" lead to "force"? when other choices go away due to AI?

gotta do investigations into DHS “waste, fraud and abuse” as pretext for killing the agency
The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Let me reframe the question: How many humans is enough?
The country’s official stance is that gray wolves should live here. Americans are still deciding how many they can tolerate. @katherinejwu.com reports:
How Many Wolves Is Enough?
Now that thousands live in the United States, some people would like to kill more of them.

Then imagine if folks opposed to the world's richest weirdo continued posting on his hate-spewing propaganda social media site, thus providing content for said site, which helps fund his comms net, AI, and army of robots.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.
