Love when I get a weather alert from NWS Spokane and it’s for like, Stevens Pass or Leavenworth.

Yeah bud I’ll get right on that.

Well I’m sure that didn’t help but I have problems with the corn lobby in general.

If you can’t turn a profit on one of our most subsidized crops that’s basically used in everything food-wise, I question whether you should be in the agriculture business at all.

How many more dumb policy moves is Elisabeth Warren gonna have to make before people realize she’s not actually a particularly good policy wonk (and senate brain has gotten her bad)

Stop using so much goddamn fertilizer then

Learn about crop rotation

nobody’s forcing you to strip all the soil nutrients out with corn every year so that you feel like you -have- to bring in fertilizer

Alternate hat for the Texas Rqngers baseball team, in which the team logo (a big T) is superimposed over the middle of the word β€œTexas”

The T blocks the X so it says β€œTetas”

That surj.org endorsement of Platner makes a little more sense when you look into the org and find out its approach is white-centered.

Where in pop culture does β€œknit one, purl two” come from?

I hear that from boomers all the time like they expect me to know what they’re talking about

K1P2 would be a terrible pattern to actually knit

This is false.

Jamal Harrison Bryant, a Megachurch pastor, has said the boycott is over. He is not leaders, plural. He and his church were not the ones to start the calls for boycott.

Nekima Levy Armstrong, who founded the Racial Justice Network, and other Minnesota civil rights activists were.

Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong:

"Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. 
I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. 
The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. β€œPastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. 
Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge.
The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."

also genuinely tragic that kobe bryant isn't alive to see this because he was a huge asshole and this would've made him really mad in a very funny way

Dems in California, Oregon, and Washington have literally nobody but themselves to blame for this.

I hope freezing your neighborhoods in amber was worth the loss of representation and the impending feeling of dread.

I dunno, I have a hard time believing that a toy company spent the resources to make fully-articulated action figures of both the Partridge Family and the Brady Bunch.

And even if they did, that some rando took the time to arrange a diorama of them brawling.

That thing smells like AI slop to me.

I’m reminded of the people who thought they were going to be millionaires selling fidget spinners, only for the fad to die off months before their order of 100,000 units arrived from China.

Fred Meyer would be the worst place to shoplift from

At least my local one would be.

It has narrow entrances and those stupid RFID towers which combine to create a severe bottleneck
