@msmaas.bsky.social this is the story i was pointing at my phone about when @mollypeonies.bsky.social was calling about how fucked up our local media is

DFLers hate to hear this but one of the biggest impediments to progress is the Democratic Party and its true believers. Example: we *elected* Mary Moriarty to be a progressive county attorney—and she had barely started fulfilling campaign promises when bigwigs in the DFL tried to shut her down.

THANK YOU, Bill!!! This story is not a story. They may as well print an exposé of the rot that appears in the online sewage immediately under their own articles.

Our colleague Angela Davis is taking a leave of absence after a recent breast cancer diagnosis. Thank you to all who have checked in and shared kind words. Angela is touched by your support as she focuses on her recovery.

again this person once got so mad that the kids on his dorm floor were circulating a birthday card for a janitor that he wrote an entire column about how college kids should not be forced to "touch the animals" who live in the towns where schools are located. he is utterly triggered at all times.

"modern english"? the book isn't even 100 years old what is this "modernized by" slop

I really really wish I could’ve managed to get a photo of the person wearing a tshirt that says ABOLISH ICE ABOLISH ICE ABOLISH ICE ABOLISH ICE ABOLISH ICE at the exact moment that Kristi Noem’s detestable face was positioned on the video monitor just above

lol this kid in the boarding area is asking his grandma to give him a treat and his mom is performatively goading him (for whose benefit? grandma’s? ours?): WHAT’S THE MAGIC WORD, JORDAN? Jordan. Jordan! What’s the magic word? Jordan, looking anguished and confused: ABRACADABRA?

The talk at @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social takes place at 6 pm on Monday, 10/6. Go enjoy a beverage beforehand next door at Arbeiter first and hear from + support Minnesota’s longest-running abortion fund, Our Justice, and then head over for the talk w/Alec, Molly, & @marymoriarty.bsky.social!

Kelly & Kim Deal as tweens

1. MSP is not the only place ppl do drugs no shit 2. as long as we treat our addict/unhoused neighbors poorly, they will do unsafe things in the only place they can - in public 3. the moment you actively choose not to be afraid of your neighbors ur time gets so much easier i promise

Middle class, mostly White people, believe they have a right to not see human suffering. They think they can complain their way out of their proximity to poverty and addiction. The world isn't set up that way beloved.

I have heard from many of you about your woes and: I do not care. My issue actually isn’t with people reporting potential problems or hassles. Go ahead! Let a professional decide whether it’s a real problem. My issue is with the Strib’s breathless coverage as if transit in MSP is somehow unique.

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

marques jones should stay silent after riding off on his lawn mower, dropping out of ward 9 rather than face defeat to jason chavez, instead of appearing in all of mpls ads with his ward 9 ass talking about katie cashman in ward 7. but he is a firefighter and so is elizabeth shaffer’s son

“We would like your feedback” I seriously doubt it.

You do Monday your way. I’ll do Monday my way.

That American Robin stance #birds

imagine going from cronkite and murrow to bari fucking weiss.

Pretend it’s a city, transit riders.

Spectrums don't have corners.

Thank you to the Alaska Raptor Center for telling the truth that birders already knew: every bald eagle cry you hear in an advertisement is a red-tailed hawk.

It’s really wild that we live in a time when I can answer the doorbell while standing in the middle of a Walgreens

it’s never a mistake to go visit ponyhenge 🐎 🚲 🐎

Went to a party hosted by an absolute icon

Oh no we found the best cat tv channel

Hate how La Croix cans say that their seltzer is "INNOCENT" because it has no sodium or sweeteners or calories, why are these crimes to you La Croix

Man Ray, Obstruction, 1920 (edition 1961)

holy shit i am 11 years older than ross douthat

One of the takeaways of all the Mary Moriarity bashing is helping me recognize that John Choi is a boss - she'll propose something and catch a bunch of flak and meanwhile Choi is already doing it

The perfect kitty doesn’t exi—

We’re simply not the ones the charisma is being aimed at

it's really funny for the dev team to talk about the TOS as if it's some sort of natural objective truth and not a list of rules they made up that they could change at any time

jesus, I’ve seen what you’ve done for other people and I want that for me.

“Methinks” is implied

Gonna slip thru the cracks.

I, too, am interested in a career path as a “full-time kitten influencer.”

I am thrilled that Molly will moderate this discussion with Alec. If you read, “Copaganda,” or hear Alec talk, you will recognize so much of media coverage and establishment talking points here in Minneapolis and elsewhere.

We're out now but should have more again on Monday!

Paying respects to the woman who made it possible to safely cross the former 10th Avenue Southeast Bridge.

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

I pretty much assume that all Twin Cities TV people, except Jana, are MAGA.

The waffles-vs-pancakes gag applies to average posters. It breaks down when CEOs and executives get replies asking them to address safety issues, especially when they have been ignoring or mocking these issues in on-topic posts

This episode of We Don’t Have to Choose with Mary Moriarty features civil rights attorney Alec Karakatsanis. Alec talks about his new book, “Copaganda.”
