Part of it is that I’ve been on vacation since Wednesday so not watching the games in my usual environment, but this Wolves start feels completely surreal.

Want to make sure Minneapolitans know they can early vote TODAY (Saturday) & Sunday 9a-3p at 980 E Hennepin, 2100 Plymouth Ave N, 4120 17th Ave S. & at Hennepin Govt Center. Saturday only at Higher Ground Residences, 177 Glenwood Ave noon-3p. Sunday only at People Serving People, 614 3rd St noon-3p.

I’m not the first to notice this, but that Copilot commercial is saying that you should use AI to steal and take credit for your co-worker’s hard work. At least it’s honest about AI’s uses, I guess

I voted. If you can vote early, please do, if for no other reason than that it makes voting on Election Day easier for other voters and poll workers.

I’m a peaceful man but anyone saying “shut your mouth and show a little gratitude” moves me straight to violence

Good opportunity to remind folks to VOTE YES on the constitutional amendment on the ballot. It will increase funding to our schools without increasing taxes. If you leave it blank, you're voting no. www.kaxe.org/elections/20...

kaxe.orgMN constitutional amendment to boost school funds has support across party lines, geographyIn the 2026 midterms, Minnesotans will vote on a constitutional amendment to increase the yearly allotment from the Permanent School Fund. For some, the measure is decades in the making.

Turned on the football game and these throwback uniforms for both teams are just infinitely better than their current unis. I can’t be the only person who thinks this.

The nice thing about the way the Vikings have gotten to 5-0 is that they haven’t completely sucked me in yet because I’m not ready to be hurt again.

The thing about the guy using AI to run his fantasy football team that I can’t get over is that people view fantasy football as a social obligation. I mean, I sort of get it, but it’s also just weird that it’s gotten to that point.

My feelings on Lanterns: Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler are both good. The story is kind of a convoluted mess that takes itself way too seriously and tries way too hard to be “prestige televison.”

I’m a firm believer in leaving the past in the past, so I’ll just sat that this particular group of guys seems like they like playing together.

If that’s how they’re going to call the forearm push-off, certain players are going to need to make serious adjustments to their games.

Notice the overlap between the people who support ICE and the people who jump in to defend the Cornell 7 rapists because they don’t want young men’s lives to be ruined?

I don’t know much about Sciambi (heard good things though), but getting Calabro is awesome. He was great with the Blazers.
