Tapper Foul (he/him)

Their definition of fraud at this point is clearly just “when people I don’t like have nice things.”

What scene makes you emotional no matter how many times you see it?

Alright, here’s how I remember it. In the immediate aftermath there really was a broadly held desire for unity in the face of tragedy. But within a day, that desire was actively being subverted by those in power and turned toward jingoistic nationalism.

Minnesotans love our third spaces, we love our special events, we love our little treats, we love Doing Our Civic Duty, and we love anything we can claim is *distinctly Minnesotan* whether it is or not, and the MN State Fair is like the center of allllllllllll those Venn Diagram circles at once.

After two decades in retail, there are few phrases that instill less confidence than “I know exactly what I want.”

If you exclude the blown saves, the bad starts, the games where they couldn't get a damn runner in from third, and all the losses, this has been a great Royals season.

Which is better: cold day foods on a cold day or hot day foods on a hot day?

The article touches on it, but it’s rarely mentioned how much this trend was a response to how everything before was beige. So much beige. Cheap, cookie cutter solutions that are misapplied to spaces without thought to the design or architecture are nothing new.

We needed this rain

The Uptown I knew is dead. Of course when I was there the story was that Uptown was dead. And now the Uptown that replaced the Uptown I knew is also dead.

It’s fascinating watching the term rules lawyer shift to something completely unlike how I used and understood it.

I would kill or die for Larry

You’ve been trampled by your last turtle

This is like if Dan Quayle became synonymous with misspelling potato only because he spent all his time as sitting VP talking about how he misspelled potato.

He’s like a proud farmer showing off his prize-winning onion

trying to play peekaboo with my child but he's a European diplomat: me: where'd daddy go? baby: we must articulate a post-daddy vision of strategic autonomy me: peekaboo! baby: my historic relationship with my father is stable despite recent troubles

On the topic of Twin Cities subways, my truly unhinged dream is a SW-NE route that intersects a bunch of rapid routes. You could even make it lake themed. Harriet/Nokomis/Como/Phalen.

They are talking like traffic engineers haven't been trying - and failing - to fix traffic congestion for the last 70+ years It's the wrong question to ask And a good part of the reason we're in the mess that we're in

There are plenty of cities with winters just as bad as ours that manage a decent mode share. We are a metro system away from being Stockholm.

What if Guffman didn’t show because he was seeing the folk reunion show after a gig as Spinal Tap’s new drummer

SD65 convention is winding down. It was definitely long but props to the team that ran it. The length was mostly due to a big agenda, straddling two CDs, two counties, and a big first timer presence. Glad it wasn’t derailed by a lot of the petty stuff I’ve seen at other conventions.

There are so many programs I use for work where it used to take 30 seconds to click through to the function I wanted that now take 35 seconds because I have to work around a giant prompt for an AI assistant that might save me 5 seconds.

@audreyii.bsky.social I wonder if neighborhood canvassers know about this.

We are bags of wet meat without armor, claw, nor fang. I do not gleek corrosive acid. The reason we’re the dominant species is our intellect and the systems we create with them.

Overheard from a passing 4yo: “Jingle bells, jingle bells…gah! What’s the next line?”

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.
