My front yard looks overgrown and there are weeds growing in the cracks of my beautiful driveway because of antifa vandals.

"Negotiations with the algae are going very well, and we expect to be able to announce a final deal within days, possibly hours."

Taking bets on how soon Trump will suggest he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for surrendering to end the war he started.

Cedrick Frazier is DFL endorsed for Hennepin County Attorney on the first ballot. 235 - Frazier 62 - Folk 82 - Nguyen 4 - Pelikan

Garofalo's column reads like it was written by a 10th grader convinced he's way more clever than he actually is.

Best comment I've read: You can't blame them for booing; after all, Trump has been a spurs fan since Vietnam.

Prediction: in the 2nd half Trump lumbers out on the court to try to get a selfie with Brunson or KAT in the hope that it will boost his favorables

“Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.” – Trump likes to imagine every professional woman he has to deal with as just some floozy he's chatting with at a ball, who'd better charm him or else he'll find someone else who will.

"Where is this leading, and who will be this party’s next champion? The man who killed Melissa and Mark Hortman?" – David Pederson of Excelsior, in a LTE to the Strib about the MN GOP's moment of silence to honor George Floyd murderer Derek Chauvin

I find it totally bizarre that no twin cities outlets even mentioned this in passing. People were fired from jobs for criticizing Charlie Kirk, but praising a convicted murderer isn’t a scandal?

To imagine Minnesota under a Governor Klobuchar, maybe we need only look at Virginia today.

JD Vance: not necessarily the "hair apparent," as Christopher Moltisanti would say

Tilda Swinton or 1930-31 "Self-Portrait with an Orange" by Kate Diehn-Bitt? The Minneapolis Institute of Art says it's the latter, but I'm skeptical.

This is a stupid idea for countless reasons, but one is that no one will be more delighted by the precedent it sets than Xi Jinping. Taiwan is only 10 miles farther from China than Cuba is from the US.

I love I Love Boosters, the dazzling new @bootsriley.bsky.social comedy that fully answers the question of how he could possibly top Sorry to Bother You.

When I read about calls for Ken Martin to resign as DNC chair, I briefly wondered if the Democratic Party had unexpectedly grown a brain. Then I saw Terry McAuliffe mentioned as a possible replacement.

the sooner the better

Matt Damon's ancestry is English and Scottish on his dad's side and Finnish and Swedish on his mom's side. I am absolutely outraged that he has been cast as a Mycenaean Greek. Clearly Christopher Nolan just "wants the awards"!

“The Democratic brand is not predominantly woke, but weak.”

Gerald’s fresh kill

“From now on when a student asks me a difficult question that I don’t have a good answer for, I’m just going to reply, ‘You’re a horrible person’” — @jasonmcgrath.bsky.social, catching up on the news

All the places reviving the old genocide flag – which, let's be real, most of those folks were almost certainly utterly indifferent to in the past – is really depressing and reflects very badly on those towns. After the ICE invasion, I've never been so attached to a flag as I am to the new one now.

Trump will send Rubio to negotiate next time, then agree to roughly the same deal he destroyed in 2018, claim a win, and blame Vance for not getting it done earlier.

Jesus was WEAK on crime

Why won't one of my Democratic representatives in Congress introduce a bill to construct a 1000-ft-tall golden dildo monument to Donald J. Trump, explaining that once it passes he may find it acceptable to stop obsessing on monuments and ballrooms and instead focus on his day job?

(gulp) I agree with Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Candace Owens, and Marjorie Taylor Greene (shudder)

the all-around absurdity of having been forced to save for retirement only by investing in the stock market and then hoping the market crashes since it's one of the few possible brakes on the impulses of a mad toddler-in-chief

Just ‘cause you can’t hear ‘em don’t mean they ain’t out there

"Sorry not sorry" – Angie Craig

Trump Accounts: And just this for y’all

Prediction: at least 50% of today’s “Board of Peace” meeting will consist of all its esteemed (well, dues paying, anyway) members taking turns praising Trump

"These crackers suck" – @wentrogue.bsky.social, speaking about a snack from Aldi she's just opened, but because we were watching the PBS NewsHour, I initially thought she was referring to the Trump administration

When these antifa domestic terrorists get paid as professional agitators, they clearly are also steered to a costuming department to make them look just like ordinary schmoes. So devious!

"'Democracy dies in darkness' my fuckin' butthole!" – @wentrogue.bsky.social on Bezos's destruction of the Washington Post

the foreign descriptions of what is going on are hilarious and terrifying www.youtube.com/shorts/SfzuV...

As usual, the Guardian is quicker to call a spade a spade than its closest American equivalents

Gavin Newsom is being an ass in Davos. Assuming we even manage to get through this, let’s not follow one arrogant American narcissist with another.

This is shockingly out of touch, please donate your money to the communities that are being attacked by masked federal agents. Also, in-person precinct caucuses are a terrible idea, there are immigrant families who haven’t left their houses in weeks.

How about we *all* get an old trophy or certificate we don't care about out of our closets or attics and send them all to the White House at the same time? I bet he'll at least assign some flunky (Vance, Patel, etc.) to sort through them in case there's something really impressive to display.

“get the fuck out of minneapolis”

“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression." – Mayor Mamdani

“IT WAS MURDER” Several hundred people have formed a human banner at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach today (Sat Jan 10, 2026) 👏👏 (📸 Erik Castro)

Translation of official ICE statement on this morning's murder: "ICE agents in Minneapolis: feel free to shoot civilians at will. We will not investigate to collect facts; we will just immediately construct a fictional narrative of what happened that completely absolves you of any wrongdoing."
