“Never start a land war in Asia” needs to be modified to “Never invade Minnesota in Winter”

I love it here! ♥️

Having a moment of silence to start our staff meeting. Totally normal shit here.

He was a lawful gun owner with a permit

I already didn’t care about the winter storm, and I’ve reached a new level of not caring about the winter storm.

constitutional observers are not protestors

Re Opus Development pulling out of an ICE deal to create a Shakopee concentration camp: am told this was due to broad pressure from electeds beyond hero @bradtabke.bsky.social, including Tina Smith, US Reps Kelly Morrison & Angie Craig, and the guv’s office. The ”corporate lane” got involved. 1/

1° colder than the coldest inhabited place on earth

I tried Animales' new location for the first time and loved it. Same great BBQ as the old spot, but with an expanded menu and in a nice big space. Perfect place to go with a group and order way too much to share, especially. Can't recommend it enough. animalesbbq.com

Starting January 30, Miyazaki's masterpiece, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind in 35mm. Andrew Madetzke designed this gorgeous poster Posters will be $25, for sale in the Trylon lobby. All proceeds donated to The Food Group, who supplies food to our neighbors most in need right now.

New podcast! This one is probably more like "urgent care" than "emergency." But don't worry, we've got a special intro song for that, too. Taylor Rogers is reuniting with the Twins, adding the left-hander to a bullpen that needs all the help it can get: www.patreon.com/posts/twins-...

Trylon Update: SHAKEDOWN IN 35MM and ROAD HOUSE will screen this weekend on Saturday and Sunday. We have decided to close on Friday in support of the general strike. Stay strong, Minneapolis.

Can’t imagine anyone who follows me hasn’t seen this, just want to be clear that I agree.

The January 24 Winter Meltdown at Smorgie’s is officially full, with LaTroy Hawkins, Derek Shelton, and BlackStack Brewing headlining a night built for Twins fans. See you there! #twins #minnesota #mntwins

All we had to do was take our responsibilities as voters seriously and not elect an obvious raving lunatic to the most powerful office on earth. It was an open book test, one simple question, and we failed it.

D&J Glove Repair will be closed Friday. For a one man shop like me this isn't as much of a sacrifice as other businesses are making but what's happening in Minneapolis/St. Paul and across Minnesota can't and shouldn't be ignored.

It's always strange when 14 degrees feels balmy.

Excited to announce our guests for Saturday's live Gleeman and The Geek podcast at the Winter Meltdown: ⚾️Twins manager Derek Shelton ⚾️Twins bullpen coach and 21-year MLB veteran LaTroy Hawkins And if the audio gods abide, Patreon subscribers will get a recording of it, too.

Gave out all my whistles at the VFW tonight!

At a brewery and a dude was taking his toddler to the rest room and I gotta say, I love when dads call their kid “Buddy.”

Shout out to Large Lads everywhere. Nice catch, big fella

No context John Bonnes: “Ready to go get poked?”

New podcast! Breaking down the Twins' surprising two-year, $14 million deal with free agent catcher Victor Caratini and the domino effects on Ryan Jeffers, Alex Jackson, Trevor Larnach, the bench, the bullpen, and the payroll. 🎧Listen: www.patreon.com/posts/twins-...

There's no telling how many hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised to pay rent and for food and other supplies for the many people who have to shelter in place and it should not be this way but I'm proud as fuck of everyone who is helping in any way they can.

Who wore it better?

I’m hanging out alone in Des Moines waiting for Giles and Jamie to arrive while they record this podcast. I think I’m the one with the emergency.

Packing for a road trip to Des Moines, and I thought to myself, “Should I bring my passport?”

The fact that one of the ways you can fight back against these fucking bums is getting delicious takeout from immigrant-owned restaurants feels like a cheat code.

One month from today: Pitchers and catchers report to Twins spring training in Fort Myers, Florida.

Currently explaining to friends why “Wait for Me” by Hall & Oats is possibly the saddest song ever written.

Yes, it’s impacting all of us. “Won’t be at mahjong this week. Granddaughter’s daycare is cancelled for three days, at least, so we will cover. Fears of ICE by staff. They want, need, and deserve to be safe.”

PEAK Minnnesota 😅 #iceout

God the postgame call-in shows In Wisconsin last night had to be incredible

Pretty snow globe night downtown! If you could ignore what was happening on the street.

I do love this city.

I think Indiana somehow scored during halftime

The Wolves 3-point percentage is better than their Free Throw percentage and that seems odd.

The United States is one of the four most important baseball-playing countries on Earth. After they launched an attack on another of that Big Four, big questions loom. #twins #minnesota #mntwins

Happy I’m No Longer Paying MTG’s Salary Day to all who celebrate. Like me. I’m celebrating that.

I’m sure all 5 boroughs will unite in a hearty “fuck off, Edina.”

Gingerbread Wonderland at Norway House is completely worth the $10 admission (though on Thursday it’s free with a sauna!) You should go!

I believe there are only two kinds of families: - those that believe in sharp, unquestionably effective steak knives - those who believe something that looks like a butter knife will do the job

Vikings game neighbor (in a Very Minnesotan Accent): “Oh Geeze.” Me: “In a lot of cities, you’d have said something much worse.” Him: “Can you imagine what they’d say in Philly?” Me: “Are you…trolling me?” Him: “No! What? Why??” Me: “You didn’t notice my earrings?”

“Don’t play with your new toy. You’ll break it.”

Same!
