Woo Gatorland! Best school field trip ever! (Okay but riding Space Mountain with the lights on was still neat...)

Okay I kinda want this as a sticker for my bike

Wheels that size shouldn't exist, and neither should those critter trail enclosures. I used to have pet mice and nothing about that setup would be appropriate for them, and I can't think of an animal that would do well in there. They're not even small enough to run comfortably in that wheel (they get similar back problems from running in wheels that small). But while hamsters are low on the "give a fuck" scale, mice are even lower.

There's a local queer cafe/community center that has a (non-alcoholic) drink called programmer socks. The main component is an energy drink, because of course it is.

Got a high temp of 46°F here in Minnesota today, the thunderstorms brought in a cold snap. I don't miss the Florida swamp ass at all.

Could have also been !taneggs@lemmy.ca

(Nice to know that kind of community link now works on Jerboa)

Some form of translation, ai or not, along with an image description option (that users would proofread before posting) could actually be cool.

Isn't the catcher supposed to be on the bottom?

If they're in a kickboxing class it sounds like they are.

I spotted the audience much less in the final and I felt the camera was much closer in on the performers than the semis. My thought on the flag changes was that you can just avoid broadcasting an audience flag with some work with camera shots, but not if a performer pulls a flag, and they're trying to avoid ruffling the feathers of more bigoted countries while banning as little as possible for the audience, and that might be what we saw happen.

For performers, which is still fucked. But they did loosen the restrictions on flags for the audience - I definitely spotted Palestinian flags during the semis.

It seemed like they had audio issues with the broadcast for that song on top of audio issues at the bar I was at, it really didn't show the song in the best light but I suspect it was their best performance of the entire contest and it's a shame the audio issues hurt it, I'll have to rewatch it. I'm not sure they deserved 0, but I thought it was bad enough it was funny they got zero.

 

Stolen from Mastodon.

Don't stop boycotting, but it may be a factor in what we saw today, at the very least it's helping the Israeli government's advertising to be more effective. ESC really needs to do something (ideally ban Israel) because Israel has made Eurovision​ even more explicitly political than it was before.

 

Hope this is okay here, I read the community description and I'm still not clear, but now I want to see someone slap an electric motor on and commute to work in an office chair.

 

The nips have been freed, kinda.

 

Another favorite pastime was digging a tunnel under his home; he attributed the secret of his success to "visits by elves" while he worked in the tunnel: "While I'm digging in the tunnel, the elves will often come to me with solutions to my problem."

Wikipedia cited a rather entertaining Time article as a citation for this.

Edited title, realised it worked better this way

 

2018 article but feels relevant now

 

The question definitely used to be "Have you traveled outside of the country recently?"

 

Based on what was posted on the Twin Cities Pride Facebook page, Target may have been kicked out.

 

And if you'd decide to leave, where would you go?

Context for why I'm asking: I'm trans and currently live in Minnesota, I moved here from Florida so I have some idea of how miserable big moves can be. I can get EU citizenship which makes me very lucky, but... Do I sit here and hope Minnesota can protect me from 🥭 or do I try to build a life somewhere else, again?
