On this day in 1974, the Minnesota State Fair hosted the first pair of four shows over two days by the New York Dolls that arguably launched the alt/indie music scene in the Twin Cities ... like a flaming paper airplane flying straight into the Heartland. @mplsmusichistory.bsky.social Thread:
It is remarkable how precedented everything we've experienced in the last few years has been. I like to catch up on the legal and historical analysis of a lot of this stuff, and we've been doing all this to various people for various reasons for 250 years.

"Freeman didn’t disclose his role with Fusus in conversations with at least 14 other cities during a period spanning at least two years, and at least nine of those cities went on to make or amend millions of dollars worth of contracts with Axon Fusus" theintercept.com/2025/09/02/a...
"Lafayette... wasn’t alone in deactivating safeguards. Documents obtained from another department piloting the Axon software, in Fort Collins, Colorado, shows police similarly disabling footers acknowledging that the reports were produced using AI." www.motherjones.com/criminal-jus...
I say spaghetti, but all of these things are working in other cities.
Why do they never swing on anything other than this one very politically toxic idea? IDK, give money to community violence intervention groups. Improve employment. Fund after school programs. Provide childcare. Give access to mental health services without insurance. Some spaghetti has to stick
In fact I didn't know there was a speech.
No, this is about a future stolen from all of us because we oppress Black and brown folks, oddly enough.
Oh, wait I can do this for real.
Aliens are Jesus. It's the same apocalypse narrative over and over. People look around at suffering and oppression, say "this is the bad place" and are waiting for suffering and oppression to be brought to an end by an apocalyptic force which is the only way they can imagine it can be done.

Which is to say, it will be what David Lyon calls liquid surveillance. It will melt into existing systems to the point where we stop seeing it as separate or disruptive technology.

Another day, another big US news story seen entirely though memes and jokes.
The thing about AI and social media is it's just the latest iteration of people solving for "how can I get the clout of an expert without having to learn a craft, profession, or discipline" and producing the dumbest possible shit.
Does this framing not accept the premise that crime is a rising problem, that policing works to prevent crime, and that the military is better at policing than counties and municipalities are? Because I think we all reject this premise wholeheartedly.
This is what criminalizing cocaine stole from us.
Walking on eggshells actually sounds pretty fun, assuming there's nobody around to get mad at you about it

I am about 80% less likely to attend your conference if you decorate and market it using Gen AI imagery.
AI is the clearest example of the way white supremacist capitalism extracts the talent, labor, and life out of millions of people for the enrichment and psychological enrapturement of a few. There is a pleasure there in saying you've beaten those with a talent you never had and never worked to earn.

Best Buy posted its first substantial sales increase in a long while, announced at Q2 earnings. Not gonna lie, I've been buying most of my electronics at my local Best Buy this year to avoid Amazon. The prices are comparable, and good in-stocks a few minutes away. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/28/b...
AI but for the pasta sauce stains on your favorite food container.
AI but for getting up to pee in the middle of the night.

AI but for ridding your house of wasps.
Not to fearmonger, but considering the state of reproductive rights in the US and Oura's new partnership with Palantir, I don't think anyone with a uterus should be using one. Or any other device that can track your period.

Based on my time volunteering with high schoolers a few years back, a ton of kids seems to experience their always-on connection to their peers as oppressive and exhausting, but don't feel like they can opt out. Phone bans are a gift. "I get to turn off Hell Mode, but you can't blame me for it."

Not a single problem in this country is new or interesting.
Critics say that sugar is bad in the quantities used in US processed foods. But millions of people will eat an entire sleeve of Oreos in an evening -- and grocery stores are grappling with what to do about it.

Your moment of Zen: a bunch of recently hired ICE agents on a certain subreddit are big mad they still don't know where they're going to be assigned this month. Some might not be able to take the jobs offered to them/move their families because they've received no communication from HR

TUIs suck but this is AMAZING.
1) Johnson's EO is not a mask ban. It's a strongly worded suggestion. 2) CPD are always allowed to mask "for medical reasons" (despite vehemently fighting vax requirements). 3) They've always been required to display badges unless undercover. 3) Here's the FOP tonight mocking the entire order.
