Minnesotan, political nerd, and gardener. I like my winters cold, my dogs snuggly and my politics progressive. @uglydogs @darielled from the bird site.
Carl T. BergstromIf you read one thing today, make it this moving piece from Celine Gounder about the legacy of her late husband Grant Wahl and the grifters who would try to twist it for the purposes of antivax propaganda.
I’ll follow this post with a link to an un-paywalled version.

Exactly this. I’m ADHD and Bipolar and have people on the spectrum among my friends, and while behaviour can be volatile, the default isn’t petty arsehole like Muskrat. Muskrat’s pretty much the epitome of upper class rich twit born into wealth and a social setup that oppresses others. I went to school with people like him…unsocialised, immature twerps who use money to cover for lack of talent and personality.
AnonymousElon Musk, out of personal hatred for public transit, destroyed the California high speed rail project (the thing that would fix traffic) for a failed hyperloop that he bulldozed into a parking lot. He is the reason you’re sitting in traffic. https://twitter.com/teslaownerssv/status/1609410045758013440

Widdershins Smith 🐘🥏Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are Pump-and-Dump schemes, while others are Pyramid schemes. Others are just middlemen skimming off the top. Others are just standard-issue fraud.
Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

A lot of outlets are posting *about* Trump's tax returns being released, but not actually posting his tax returns.

And here’s what it looked like during the -30 temps after the husband had a run in the garage gym. #MNcold
Dan GillmorDear Journalists: Yes, we know that George Santos is a fraud. The latest lie is much less interesting than these follow-up questions that need your concerted attention:
1) Where, and how, did he get those millions of dollars? Follow the money.
2) Why are Republicans -- especially leaders -- not denouncing him? You have access, so do your damn jobs and ask them, repeatedly, until they respond.
