Shoulda called up DiJonai to come hold up a towel.

This is well worth your time (seriously). If you don't want to read something on substack (understandable, I avoid the place too), you can find this same piece on Patreon here: www.patreon.com/posts/beyond...

Hey MN when are we joining this? @governorwalz.mn.gov

Where are the best breakfast burritos in Minneapolis? I'm assuming somewhere on Lake Street?

Love to start my day off by being refused service by a company's call center because I use a different name than my legal name and "that name doesn't make sense as a nickname" 😡

Welp, I'm officially the target demographic for the grocery store and the airport restaurant based on the music they play.

Multitask! Help families in Gaza while annoying Cathy with our new shirts/stickers/totes. Two designs to choose from: - Everyone wants better refs - Everyone hates WNBA refs everyone-for-gaza.printify.me

I say Lynx come back and avenge their teammate and coach. #LosLynx

If MN counties accept federal funds for ICE detention facilities they should be ineligible to receive state transportation funding.

Not only is it possible to believe that political violence is bad AND Nazis are bad (and not to be mourned as part of public life), it’s… a very consistent worldview

The thing about investing in public transit is that it *scales* — the more people use it, the better it gets. For everyone. Whereas the more cars there are, the *worse* everything about driving gets. Traffic. Parking. [Ever noticed that in just about every car ad it’s alone on the road? Yeah.]

Mascot dodgeball at the Lynx game

Me watching all of the backed up traffic on the interstate to get into downtown while I pass them on the bus:

If you’re sick right now, please test for Covid. Stay home if it’s at all possible, and wear a mask. Ideally an N95. It’s not over. It was never over. No one is coming to save us so we must save each other. One of the best ways to do that is to commit to breaking chains of transmission!

Target has a giant billboard ad up in NE (Broadway/Central) for fluoride free toothpaste 😡

I’m just saying, what if we blocked off streets from traffic so neighbors could chat and kids could play more often? Is that too much to ask for?

I hope Prowl is taking notes.

I feel like we don’t talk enough about how Metro Transit has a mascot named Skip Traffic.

You can tell it's a new pick when the bus driver misses their turn and the regular riders coach them back onto the route

Trans Lynx merch raising money for TIGERRS, when?

I sure would love to see the Minnesota Lynx offer something like this seattlestormteamshop.com/products/pro... Ideally in all sizes so I could get one. What do you think, @minnesotamunn.bsky.social?

But after a turnover, Hiedeman hits a three to give the Lynx the lead with 5.5 secs left

I personally won’t stand for a DFL/Democratic party that doesn’t fight for Trans people. You protect all of us or none of us.

The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander. It led me to seek out most of the other influential non fiction books I've read.

Minnesota State Sen. Alice Mann (DFL-Edina) calls out the slashing of MinnesotaCare in the state budget: "There is no fiscal responsibility when you do this. When we take away people's health care, they end up in the emergency department. It costs more money for everyone in the community."

If you're in the USA, you can no longer watch the Dutch TV special about my theories on fascism and pro wrestling on YouTube! Oh no!! But fear not, for I have uploaded the full thing to my Vimeo for American viewing and sharing Go forth:

If you're over 30, quote this with some life advice. If you can afford it/budget for it, hire professional movers.

It's another Wednesday that feels like a Friday 😞

This is incredible. This computer science professor makes his students play a game that simulates the risks and repercussions of getting Long COVID, and then he's like, hey anybody want a mask? And: "approximately 95 to 100% of students who’ve played the game now wear masks in his classroom."

WNBA pre-season starts today!

The Minneapolis City Council voted 12-0 to expand civil rights protections, barring discrimination against people on the basis of their height, weight, housing status or criminal record.

incidentally the whole point of stuff like having a federal dept of health and human services is instead of each of us all figuring it out on our own, we all chip and and hire the best scientists in the world to do our research

I'd take it one step further and say all Microsoft products are hell.

That's between god and wendy

📣 Catholic March Madness starts May 7

No.

Hell yeah, MN! www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

People who've biked for decades may not realize how daunting it is for a novice to even understand what options exist. (I've experienced this myself -- I was in my 30s when I bought my first bike.) Nice to see AARP offer this primer.

"It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help... If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." - Pope Francis

Update from the Campaign for Size Freedom! Next week, Minneapolis City Council will consider an update to the Minneapolis Civil Rights Code to include height and weight. Shoutout to all of you Minneapolans fighting size discrimination by supporting this bill! Learn more at naafa.org/sizefreedom.

We're so glad to see Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive. We thank @vanhollen.senate.gov for fighting for his constituent. It's the type of leadership that we need to see from Congress for ALL immigrants disappeared to CECOT without due process. We shouldn't be sending anyone to a torture prison. Full stop.

I'd love to see a Highway 36 BRT from Minneapolis to Stillwater. (Dashed lines mean every other trip would go on this segment)

This might be a naive question, but why can't Sen Van Hollen just take Kilmar back to the US with him? He's there illegally. What are we waiting for to bring him back?

I personally think the thing about prison that is unsafe for women is that they are in a prison

You know things are going great when your therapist tells you to go get a massage lmao

America’s auto arms race which results in ever bigger, heavier cars has enormous economic, climate and health costs. These cars have poor sight lines and result in much higher lethality when they are involved in a crash. We could save so many lives and so much money with smaller, lighter cars.

this is wild: vehicle capacity of freeway lanes dropped 10 percent as SUVs took over the road -- not just bc they are bigger. they also take more time and space to slow down and obscure other drivers' sightlines. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
