The Funniest Dad Ever (/s)

Had to say goodbye to our bestest friend tonight. Hold your pups tightly. We were so lucky to have him be a part of our family. RIP, Charlie aka Chuck, 2016-2026 #SchnauzerGang #DogsofBluesky

Cracking up at catching “Big Ten FB in 60” (or whatever) on BTN of Iowa-MN from Saturday. How they can even get more than three minutes of watchable football is beyond me.

Perhaps someone with experience/expertise can weigh in @dbrauer.net for example. I’m pretty inured to media-speak but is this just AP-style guide to characterize the ad as “controversial” because that’s a “neutral” term? It’s both technically accurate and wildly understated.

Nope.

This Gopher game going exactly as I predicted. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@boisefootballdude.bsky.social Broncos gave the Ducks a good scare, yesterday.

All human behavior has purpose. Very little human behavior has conscious intent. Most common primary purpose is safety (emotional/physical, etc) but almost all have more than one. Unless we are one of the privileged few with actual mind-reading abilities, we are only guessing about others’ intent.

Happy Election Judging Day to those who celebrate. Count is 18 voters in my precinct but all is well.

I’m confused. My AI-generated alert said the Wolves had traded Raz Neid for a ball of jello? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦‍♂️ #timberwolves

Let’s go!!!!

On my feet here in the double-five 305! Let’s go Wolves!!

His niece with the last name of Tuscadero* took on his nickname. *deep ‘70’s cut.

@randball.bsky.social When Michael Rand says your snarky Bluesky name and reads your comment on the Daily Delivery podcast YouTube stream:

The Denver has crashed out for this game narrative on Bluesky is giving me way too much PTSD vibes. Hey, MN sports fans: We. Do. Not. Count. Wins. Before. A. Clock. Hits. Zero. With. MN team. Leading. Ever. Never. Ever!

@blindeke.bsky.social @vincempls.bsky.social Unsure if you were able to attend given No Kings but I was lucky enough to catch this fantastic presentation via Zoom by James Garrett, Jr. this afternoon. North Star Voices: "Uncle Cap" and Black Architectural Excellence www.mnhs.org/events/36763...

@tarantical.bsky.social Wanted to share that I just finished "The Outrun" based on your post awhile back. It was lovely and amazing! Excellent recommendation!

@randballsstu.bsky.social is it my imagination or did I pick up the name of singer “Bryan Andrews” from you via an episode (of a 3-4 month vintage) of The Sportive?

@normcharlatan.bsky.social Was really hoping this turned out to be “Federal Way” in the photo but alas…

Murdered guy “not pictured.”

@chrissteller.bsky.social Headline suggests “bars” = “bans/limits/restricts” until I reread it as “bars” = “establishments”.

Cars like this always remind me of living in San Francisco in 1990 and parking a little Toyota Tercel and thinking how on earth did anyone park a car in SF in the ‘70’s?

A “scuffle?” No, no a scuffle is when one drunk bumps into another a they both shove and posture and maybe a glass is broken. Skull fractures arise out of a full beat down or at worst a fracas.

Hear me out. Every other Wednesday ICE agents are greeted this way just to totally fuck with them.

I like the term “peddler” here. Like, he just had a little cart or stand set up somewhere where he peddled knickknacks and narcotics. Bring the term “peddler” back!

He’s signaling a touchdown or field goal. 🤷🏻‍♂️

If DHS is now barred from tampering with/destroying evidence, how would anyone know — other than them — whether they had done so? Like, doesn’t this assume some super efficient and reliable chain of custody?

Minnesota is the best of us.

Did a wicked Herbert Hoover impression.

Let’s go Wolves! #timberwolves #wolfpack

Chuck’s Day 2.5 at the hospital with acute pancreatitis. Finally got to go home with Mom and Dad today! Lots of medications and a tube down my nose (yuck!) but at least I’m with my BFF Cow who came home with me when I was a puppy. Keep good thoughts for me, friends. #SchnauzerGang #DogsofBluesky

Chuck’s Day 2 at the hospital with acute pancreatitis. Good to get some pets and love from Dad. Kind of groggy but hopefully healing. Keep your fingers crossed and good thoughts for me, friends. #SchnauzerGang #DogsofBluesky

Really interested to see how Leo Farnsworth fares against the Bears at Soldier Field.

Vikings didn’t need Bo Nix.

Why don’t we see any 2-year old “Mildreds?” We’ve got Lilies galore but no Mildreds. Beatrice? Sure. Chock full. Gladyses? Nada. Makes ya think.

@support.bsky.team You’ve added a button to “follow back” in a single click. Yet, 90% of new “followers” is blocking bots and useless empty accounts which requires me to click multiple times to block. Add a one-click lock button! Don’t ask me after the first 10 blocks if I know what it means!

As another poster pointed out is the value of “bearing witness.” To know that their suffering is visible and known and meaningful is the “doing” most of us can do and give.
