I can get myself to the polling place and don’t want to take a spot from someone who needs it. But i also really want to go for a ride in this.

Really too bad I was running late this morning and had to stop and take this call at Annie Young Meadow. A real shame.

Showed this to my kids and they were both clearly bothered by the realization that this sort of manipulation is possible. Had good chats about it afterward, and plan to have more.

Pretty happy with the start of this year’s Halloween mask. I’ve been asked for selfies by strangers the past two years, and I love a streak, so I’ve got lofty goals. First sanding is done, filler is drying, then I’ll sand it again tonight. Need to do the first paint coat tomorrow.

I'd like to have a drink at a bar where Tom Waits might hang out. Nighthawks probably the obvious answer, but I can't walk there.

Wishing we had high speed rail and I could just decide to take a last minute weekend trip to Chicago and be there by 8pm.

Wasn’t prepared to get emotional while I ate my dinner tonight. My copy of The Rebel Loon Archive arrived today and it’s so well made and looks incredible, but I’m going to have to take it all in slowly.

@aurinmpls.bsky.social I know at least part of our ward has not been covered by HourCar, but I would sign up in a second if it was saved and they found a way to expand south. Regardless, this is such a valuable asset for the area, please try to help find the funds to keep them running.

this morning I was walking out the door to bike to work at the same time as my kid is headed to the bus stop... “Have a great day buddy, I love you.” *pause* “Hey siri open the garage”

I’m operating under the theory that the Mississippi River now flows *under* Longfellow and is the source of Minnehaha Falls.

This is very well said

What a school library in Roseville, MN could do with $10,000: #LocalAngle Also: “Nothing shows more privilege than when people say, Can’t people just buy books?”

How is this the first time I’ve seen They Might Be Giants live? Pretty excited.

A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Big cheer from the crowd as the 4:20 pace group passes by near Nokomis #minneapolismarathon

Wore my Make America Minneapolis hat to meet a friend at Turtle Bread this morning. An older person approached me and asked to buy the hat from me. I got them the website and they later came by our table to say they’d ordered a hat and two shirts to their home in Michigan. #Megasota continues

Conditions are perfect for soaking up the sun for a few minutes, perhaps as part of lunchtime.

I PAID TOO MUCH FOR THESE DIRTY DEEDS!

Happy to continue not knowing a single song by this guy

I haven't had a Scott Seekins sighting in a while, but it's reassuring to do a quick search on here and know he's still out there doing his thing.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

Coolest thing just happened at the shop. Guy walked in and wanted to donate a glove. He said the glove belonged to Paul Feiner. Most Minnesotans know Joe Mauer only struck out once in his high school career. Paul Feiner was the pitcher and this is the glove he wore when he did it!

lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

I've thought it must be Thursday all week this week. Third time's a charm.

Wishing my father-in-law a happy birthday by opening Messages and copy/pasting the last thing I sent him, a year ago.

Made plans last night with my neighbor to walk to the bagel shop this morning and little things like this are so good. And not actually little things. Also the bagels from Asa’s Bagels were great. Not a surprise.

Woke up with an urge to wander around a big old bookstore. Somewhere with overwhelmingly narrow space between looming bookshelves. Discover some unexpected things to read, smell that old book smell, just get lost in it for a while.

Watching this live Less Than Jake video and I think a guy in the audience has a forearm tattoo that says SKA NOW MORE THAN EVER And I am in to the commitment to the cause youtube.com/watch?v=gYOf...

Annoyed that I can’t figure out how to watch the Lynx right now.

9am and I am starting my fifth listen of the new Orville Peck album... www.youtube.com/watch?v=gatk...

Update: I WON. I beat those evil fucking fucks at ICE. There is a small measure of justice in this country still! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Speeding doesn't actually save you meaningful time. All it really accomplishes is aggressively increasing the chances that you kill yourself or someone else outside your vehicle. It's a mathematically flawed, entirely selfish risk.

The choices we make in life are lessons we are teaching our children. If I pull my kids while leaving our neighborhood kids behind, what am I teaching about individualism vs commitment to a strong community? If I pull them after a difficult strike, what am I teaching about solidarity?

These babies will start shipping next month. Very limited supply available. Lock in now if you want to be a part of art history in 2027.

Notice how those “apolitical” people ALWAYS end up siding with the oppressors

I just wanted to eat my lunch outside on a nice day and now there’s a wasp in the tortilla chips

I’ve seen two Robotaxis in south Minneapolis this weekend. Wtf?

PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE TWIN CITIES: This is the neighborhood your uncle who you dread seeing at Thanksgiving calls a “no go zone”.

Some absolutely incredible trash talk between some senior citizen Vikings and Packers fans on the light rail right now. “He tried to teach me ‘go pack go’ but all I can say is ‘skol’” “That’s that Minnesota education system for ya” Almost sad that we’re getting off at Cedar-Riverside.

Minnesotans who want to know what to do with their PCR: I've got you. Here's a list of a bunch of close legislative races you can donate to (or volunteer in! some are close to the metro!) naomikritzer.com/2026/09/12/e...
