There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

I was worried I’d feel lonely in uptown after being away in NE for 10 years but basically every time I step outside I see minimum one person I know if only slightly so I guess I can definitively say I was wrong

I think I need to create a garbage day for myself because previously I had to take the cans out and so I would take it out that day but now I don’t really have to do that so it’s getting done whenever

Just walked into my kitchen going what’s that smell…turns out I really need to take the trash out

It’s extra annoying I have to work in stp but out of range of efficient bus service

Just took the 94 xpress bus for the first time and we are blasting down the freeway like traffic is not real hell yeah

Some good news: Hennepin County Library's current hours will continue through 2027. Advocacy works!

Guy who works at the laundromat and does a call and response of blessings on everyone and says the Lord works through us all when people help unhoused folks out with $$ for washing has clearly not noticed I read gay smut while I wait but he’s delighted I always tell him I already know he’s blessed 🤷‍♀️

“Sysco’s proposed acquisition of Restaurant Depot is not some dull antitrust story buried in the business pages. It is a direct threat to the economic survival of independent restaurants across America,” writes @andrewzimmern.bsky.social.

Minnesota!! Don’t forget to register to vote!! It took me less than 30 seconds to update after moving and is equally quick to register. MN does same day registration at the polls but if you’re trying to save time cannot recommend enough www.sos.mn.gov/elections-vo...

MPD was lurking in my alley this morning when I was leaving for work in case anyone is wondering they spent their time/money today. No apparent reason for this

Job loss, nudification technology, data centers, the end times — a recent southwest metro forum on AI underscored the low-boil anxiety of Minnesotans about this unsettling technological change, and the many policy questions emerging from it.

I ate a lily pad

I went to Frattalones in uptown and it was nice but not quite what I needed

S Minneapolis: what’s your go to hardware store? I’m specifically looking for the one where you’re pretty sure everyone who works/hangs out there has a special interest and knows everything there is to know about obscure shit

Dropped off a huge stack of cardboard today and the Republic folks who staff the south Hennepin drop off are always so nice

Let's all call Tom Emmer's office (202-225-2331 or 763-241-6848) to ask where he buys his groceries as we'd all like to find that ground beef he says costs $2 a pound. www.minnpost.com/fact-briefs/...

That is not the look of a person who has any idea where they are or what’s going on

Happy tattoo season to my fellow lizards

You probably recognize the first three names as mayoral best friends. But you may not know Catherine Shreves. She was co-chair of Charter for Change in 2021, the PAC funded entirely by the chamber of commerce and devoted to changing our government structure so Frey could be a strong mayor.

Back on my bullshit apple season edition (reposted with alt text sorry)

I have been doing a lot of putting myself out there lately which is not easy for me but in the last few weeks I applied for a job (round 2 interviews this week) and put my name in the hat to be on the board of the queer sports league I play in - I won’t know the results of that for a couple months
