Imagine watching politicians do the things on which they campaigned and being upset with those politicians. Payne and Moriarty really come to mind. You don’t need to make up some fraudulent story how they lied to you! Maybe you’re the problem!

this is one of the abundance agenda heroes? guys we don’t need to platform the ideas of weird pests, look where that got us

if Taylor and Travis’s kids aren’t taller than Barron Trump I stg

The rumors about Minneapolis being a burnt out hellhole where witches and spinsters thrive are true. That’s a hell yeah from me www.startribune.com/witch-paddle...

Rent seekers just bum me the fuck out man.

Just want to note this is the same guy with the enormous tear down and boulder wall on Cedar Lake. Sure interesting the guy who got a variance to develop public land maxed out a donation to a park board member.

This is a nice working paper showing that traffic noise creates a pretty large externality. Near major roads, people are willing to pay ~6-10% more for homes after a sound barrier is built. They estimate that traffic noise has an aggregate externality of $110 billion!

This is exactly what I think of when our Park Board votes to keep a parking lot over developing public green space, paving over programming, and turns their back on labor Just foul

In an interview full of quotes this one really stood out. Also, Coates: “you might call them racially resentful, I call them racist”

Also, special shoutout to Onion fans in Minneapolis. We didn't even announce this screening publicly and enough people found it on their own last night that it sold out immediately. The Trylon, whose staff have been incredible, have already added a second screening. www.trylon.org/film/the-oni...

This is gonna be like the most homoerotic kumite ever (high bar)

My lil homie says come and take it mfer

All of Mpls sure knows how to pick em! Embarrassing

Median Wayzata Man

one of my favorite parts of psalm for the wild built was this quote that felt so radical: “it is enough to exist in the world and marvel in it. You don't need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live."

Hell yeah brother

Harrowing stories: I was stiffed by We Love Minneapolis

As a W13 person, the thought of a representative with a positive message seems detached from reality. Leadership by defensive positioning, finger pointing, and decorum scolding has (in my circles) led to an erosion of faith in moderate city politics.

a while ago i became obsessed with the 2013 mayoral race in mpls: 35 candidates, yes, but also the city’s first real test of ranked-choice voting, + the race set up our current political landscape in both predictable and surprising ways. jay & i interviewed lots of people about it—here’s a 🎁 link!

*extremely Sabrina Carpenter voice* Oh boy 😬

we should probably start devoting a bunch of space for the safe operation of these vehicles

The Mercury coach is… a man? 🚩🚩🚩

The highest, best use of our scarce MPD resources. Supervising Michels as they dig holes

Not the point at this stage of the game but I think it rules that Thomas and Bonner are engaged. The NBA would be cooler if the players dated.

Got that new edition Fateh sign installed ✅

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

Looks like the mayor’s PAC is having a good time funneling money to Google to pay for sponsored search results.

What if…we could have both? The Strong Mayors Ystem

I bet Allan Klugman knows where this switch is but is too honest a civil servant to pull it, even as a prank cc @wedge.live

Shit sucks. Post your ridiculous flowers Here are our 3 tithonias that got obscenely large: the monarch magnets, the pollen perch, the queens.

I gasped www.startribune.com/mn-capitol-g...

TNC with precise analysis as always. And closing with an absolutely haunting question burned into my skull now. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

9-0 postseason. Book it.

It’s me, the guy about to be responsibly goofing in this LIMITED RUN sweatshirt. Buy buy buy

Show us our cheerleaders damnit. I want to see what everyone is so triggered about

Hell yeah

Lynx are inevitable. This rules

Yo what is all that racket in south Minneapolis? Some Eddie Van Halen sounding ass (complimentary) perhaps in the area of Washburn HS?

Oh hell ya Upton from 52nd to 50th got a fresh layer. We had been skipping this portion of the “bumpy bike boulevard” so long I didn’t even realize it was happening. Now do 52nd to 55th and 50th to 44th please.

Willie Nelson took the side of the workers, and within hours the strike was over. That there is what we call solidarity.

dinner du nord is downtown as playground: the elites dine on steak on nicollet mall while cops collect OT looking at their phones and an 81 year old woman asks me why buses are gone and she had to walk home to loring

This plus the multiple HBCU’s closing due to bomb threats, pretty clear what this guy meant to people. Sowing bigotry, division, and violence nets you: -your corpse rides on Air Force 2 -flags at half mast -Medal of Freedom -statues? This is just embarrassing shit

This book could tell us why we have dozens of good, bald, white dudes in local progressive politics. Will report back.

Courtney makes it so easy to be a fan.

i just sent this email to @ezraklein.bsky.social

“Regardless of what he was advocating for, he was *winning* and I envied that” Isn’t this exactly the type of illiberalism that Klein rails against? What a swing and a miss.
