We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.

Mpls Council Member Linea Palmisano alleges colleagues opposing a $38 million police/public safety wellness center “want to see police fail.” Notes $38m can’t be used for things like rent relief, without noting could be used for housing, George Floyd Square, etc. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

despite being concentrated in ameria’s largest cities, america’s media is terminally car-brained

Hey folks, today is the last day to bid on an @erikahall.bsky.social chicken! It’s a fundraiser for the people of Minnesota! Get in there! givebutter.com/c/chicken-ou...

How can this go on for another 3 years?

Meanwhile, in Paris, the new left-wing mayor is giving his first media interview since he won *WHILE* he biking.

“City Council leaders — frustrated with the mayor’s refusal to support pausing evictions in the city — now say they will propose $2.8 million instead of $1 million. Wilson said he stands ready to match that, too.” www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Okay, I just want to point out that if you have been considering an electric car, I would really consider doing that quickly because things do not look good re: oil availability and cost. Used EVs are currently a screaming deal. I have a feeling this will not be the case for too much longer.

Peggy Flanagan for US Senate: Tired of Democrats fighting from a defensive crouch, nibbling around the edges, governing by sternly worded letter.

after today's court ruling, there is even less justification for Children's to refuse to treat trans kids, and even less justification for the MN Attorney General's office not to sue for this blatantly discriminatory policy www.reuters.com/business/hea...

"USPS posted a *$9 billion* loss in 2025." did the US Navy post a profit last year?

Wife just told me this one: What’s the difference between Iran and Vietnam? Trump had a plan to get out of Vietnam.

Caught a couple of bunnies playing in the backyard this morning. Great way to start the day.

The designer of this bridge, Siah Armajani, was a Minnesotan who came from Iran

It’s the season for questionable surfaces on the morning bike commute. What’s coming up? A little water? Some dirt? Sheer ice? A weird stain? You can’t be sure until you’re on top of it, and then it’s too late. And every minute you get to play again.

mind-boggling to me that i still have yet to see a single democrat utter the phrase “every republican president of your lifetime has destroyed the economy and started a war”

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

Sure the USA might not win the World Baseball Classic, but they’ll also have had zero fun along the way, and isn’t that what’s truly important in the game of baseball

Lovely turn of a phrase

Wilhoit was right: it's "my group is special" vs. "everyone is human." Everything else is noise.

“Bitch, what?”

This is why I get furious at the "AI will solve climate change" crowd. AI will just tell us to do what scientists have already figured out! But it will burn a shit ton more energy to tell us that!

OK. I'm gonna do something here with this discourse, and it's not ~really~ about cars. It's about the mindset of "I deserve this" and how that preempts the logic parts of the brain in ways which can hurt you. Here's a crotchety old man thread: (1/10)

Someone needs to send an ambulance to X

Saying ”No” to sidewalks is saying “yes” to your neighbor kids, pets, and elderly walking in the street with moving cars and trucks. Not only is it anti-poor, it’s anti-human. www.startribune.com/sidewalks-in...

You know what? Yes. This is the way. Let the narrative decide.

Video I obtained through a public records request on behalf of MN50501 shows Liam and his dad boarding a Delta Air Lines flight at MSP. Delta was silent when workers were being snatched up by ICE at MSP, but was a vocal supporter of the Big Beautiful Bill, which increased ICE’s funding.

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

Even the GOP is saying “the media is sanewashing us. We meant the terrible thing”

PSA: if you’re somebody who runs air purifiers in your house all the time and you ever smell gas in your house even a little bit intermittently, get your house checked for gas leaks. They can apparently go otherwise unnoticed for a really long time if your HEPA filters are good enough 😳

Media & police commonly report that “speed wasn’t a factor in a crash.” What they mean is the driver wasn’t technically breaking the speed limit, or at least not too much. But speed is ALWAYS a factor, in how much distance is needed to stop, how well crash victims can be seen, and whether they die.

Trump just declared that he’d ban trans women from the Olympics. Only one openly transgender woman has ever competed in the Olympic Games in its history. In 2020. She did not win a medal. This is fabricated controversy to fuel bigotry. Like banning trans women from owning nuclear weapons.

42 people. millions of trans people are being tortured by their governments because of 42 people.

The FAA Administrator made a point of being in flight at midnight of December 31, 1999 / January 1, 2000, to project confidence that the agency had adequately dealt with Y2K problems. This feels like the least the current cabinet could do ...

I've also been watching all these depositions and every time I try to write about it I just get angrier, so glad Joseph got something out about it.

No lie, I really did think this was an Onion headline, but no. @bencollins.bsky.social, I'm so sorry your staff's job is this hard now.

Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.

Target I'm sorry that was a breakup not just a boycott baby.

I have $700 still needed to complete an urgent $2400 rent need for a family in South Minneapolis. Anyone (particularly any non-Minnesotans?) want to chip in to help get it over the finish line?

I had no idea what the context for this was but found it in J.S. Pillsbury's wikipedia article 😲

i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid
