#OnThisDay Oct 8 1926: The Heights Theatre opens on Central Avenue NE in Columbia Heights, MN. Built by brewery heir Arthur Gluek as a real estate venture during Prohibition, the small Beaux Arts theater was designed by famous Minneapolis architects Liebenberg & Kaplan.

@tmbg.bsky.social Dear Messrs. Giants, I've been a fan for 35 of my 41 years. Thank you for visiting the Twin Cities so often. I made it to three shows this year, including a box seat at the Fitz. I was very impressed by the jazz rendition of "O, Do Not Forsake Me". Thank you for always innovating.

Different flavor of Con Crash this year. No depression, just physical exhaustion and angry bones.

I can tell it's been a good #DragonCon2026, my voice has dropped an octave and a half from pure vocal fatigue.

Poshanka! Making friends at #DragonCon2026

Worth mentioning: "Mango Sticky Rice Refresher" can be sung to the tune of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

Oh shit I need this as well

This except Pogo and Bloom County.

My costume for #CVG2026 really came together this year. I couldn't wear it around for very long, because it was quite difficult to hear and see, but I hope to fix some of those problems before the next convention.

Poshanka! (Mask and accessories still being worked on)

So much this. I'm having to cut 5 mg gummies into quarters with a razor blade. But also, root beer? Blech.

Time to go join the people to do the thing.

My @dhstein.bsky.social art wall above my desk is currently asymmetrical and that makes me grumpy. Oh well! Guess I'll have to go to Dragon Con this year and buy more!

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Still waiting on the paperwork, but I just had my hearing, and the name change is now official!

How do they rise up?

For the eastern European BG3 fans: Karlach kolach, a sweet pastry filled with strawberry jalapeno jam.

Would you like your figgin* toasted? Or placed upon a spike? * A figgin is defined in the Dictionary of Eye-Watering Words as ‘a small short-crust pasty containing raisins’.

I'd love to buy an ebike, but...

@amyklobuchar.com 's DC voicemail box is full. @smith.senate.gov 's isn't yet. Not sure what that says about them or us, but it's certainly something.

What the fuck, Spartans? statenews.com/article/2025...

okay i think today's column is a banger, it's long, but give it a chance buttondown.com/theswordandt...

I did the thing. My anxiety made it difficult just leaving voicemails for senators' staff, but I did the thing.

Trying to learn the ropes of a new social media platform. But I figure I can't go wrong with a video of my cat snoring.
