I know we all love to be macho about this but here is your permission not to have to: If you’re cold, you can turn on the heat. My heat is on. It’s fine

At a show at First Ave last weekend, Daði Freyr casually said he was glad to be in Minnesota and someone yelled, “Fuck ICE!” Then more shouts of “Fuck ICE!” rang out. Happens everywhere people gather around here now. Contrary to caricature, we don’t say “Ya sure ya betcha”. We shout “Fuck ICE!”

I’m pretty sure I don’t have “moderate” friends that are considering republican candidates, but just in case don’t let the door hit you on your way out

The Jack of Kingfield@thejackofkingfield.bsky.social

This is probably preaching to the choir here but please tell your “moderate” friends who are on the fence this year that the MN GOP convention held a moment of silence for convicted murderer and tax fraud Derek Chauvin and no republicans on the ballot condemned that. All of them were there.

I also support abolishing the property tax but I’d replace it with a wealth tax so I don’t think me and the anti social heehaws in this piece would vibe.

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

I'm going to do my best to go this time! I'm loath to admit that I've never been to a conference of this kind in the twin cities and I'd like to correct that!

Hey, guess what? I’m keynoting BSides Twin Cities on October 23! My talk is called “We Keep Us Safe” and connects local community defense and protecting our neighbors to cybersecurity and fighting for the users. Local community conferences like this are so important. Come show up and support!

A mobile sauna, a vehicle to pull it, and storage for both of those.

question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

GREAT NEWS! ‘After nearly a month of widespread outcry toward plans to close some schools, Minneapolis Public Schools Superintendent Lisa Sayles-Adams announced Tuesday the district won’t move forward with any school closures “at this time.”’ Gift link 🎁

startribune.comMinneapolis leaders decide not to move forward with controversial school closuresThe school board was slated to vote Nov. 10 on redrawing attendance boundaries and closing up to 16 schools. But the plan met fierce opposition from parents and teachers.

MPS superintendent changed her recommendation to not take any closure steps this year. I did not see that coming. Almost an unprecedented level of listening to community really.

if you don’t keep up with the youth i want you to know they’ve renamed “tramp stamps” to “cake toppers” which feels like the first advancement for feminism in a long time

Want 2 free tickets to see hip-hop legend Rakim w/ Room 3 Collective (late show) on Oct. 15 at the Dakota? Hit repost for a chance to win!

I'm stuck on the FBI knowing about this guy for two years and giving him the echo chamber to radicalize himself more until he did just enough to be arrestable, apparently? why is this the motivation instead of trying to de-radicalize people?

we’re open for a variety of transportation options that make private corporations money, just not 24/7 bus lanes

thankful for small wins: despite being a bottom-tier basic fare ticket holder without seat selection on my upcoming flight, I got a window seat. I'll take it over middle seat.

One tangible reward of becoming an Unrepentant Vibe-Killer For Unsafe Men is that your social circle will rapidly contain fewer Unsafe Men.

you gotta have deliberatley low-information days sometimes. recieve the amount of stimulus your ancestors would receive. no phone no tv no radio no books just vibes. brain vacation. just you and the homies picking flowers, makin soup.

Listening to a segment about how Trump wants to rename Artificial Intelligence as Super Intelligence and my brain smeared them together as Superficial Intelligence and... I think my subconscious is on to something

Entroducing... really is an incredibly good album. Glad I revisited it today, won't let it go so long next time. Will probably pick up the 30th anniversary reissue on vinyl.

CNN pulled a clip of Michele Tafoya recently saying "I've never said I was embarrassed to be from Minnesota" and then displays an unearthed and deleted tweet of her saying "I am embarrassed to be from Minnesota" 🥴

Which, I mean, yes. We lived that. We witnessed it. But still, the validation of that label is powerful. The confirmation of the pervasiveness of the “systematicity” of the attack and messaging. So important
