It’s hard to describe to normal people the years and years of work that was scrapped over all of this.

Anyways, this event has been going on for about 20 years and is organized by the Friends of the St Paul Library. Support your local literary scene. Support your local libraries. Support your local book stores.

So it didn’t feel right to share this earlier, but I got to do something pretty awesome this winter. I was a MN Book of the Year awards judge. These are the 13 YA books I read in about 2 months. All by MN authors. An overall great experience.

How my wife describes me:

I hope this can fill the hole in my heart after the end of Harvey Birdman

Cosmic basketball would be amazing

Very sad news. For years preventive standard for colorectal cancer has been first screenings starting at age 50. We’re seeing it more and more in people in their 40s, 30s, and even 20s. The American Cancer Society recently dropped their recommendation to 45. Be aware of potential signs and symptoms:

The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

“I don’t use pronouns. I just call everyone ‘girlie’” -one of my students who just called me girlie

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

me with 2 years of spanish study when I recognize a word during Benito's halftime performance

The city of Minneapolis, where you can genuinely say "but WHICH dildo related anti-ICE demonstration in 2026 did you mean?"

Why didn’t the Jamaicans try curling instead of bobsled?

He just tweeted it out …

The only good thing the CIA ever did

We Minnesotans want you to know we are proud and fierce… and we are also super fuckin’ horny!

are you telling me tom from succession’s last name was real this whole time and in fact his wasn’t even the most ludicrous spelling of it

Oh so it IS possible for police to protect the citizenry from federal thugs? Does MPD know this?

Do you know how f*cked up you gotta act to get banned from Xbox Live in *in 2013*?

cancel all your streaming services and tell them why. buy one independently produced album, book, comic book, piece of art, ticket to a local play every month. support your local library. I'm deadly serious. This is becoming a moral imperative.

Minneapolis is NOT in the verge of going up in flames. The movement here is focused on protecting the community, not destroying it. If the city burns, it will come from outside forces, not inside ones. Abolish ICE

The whole interview is worth it

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

What do we call this? Willful impotence? Intentional waste of air? False outrage?

Waltz and Frey seem like nice men but we’ve reached the “over taken by events” part of their careers

It is genuinely insane to watch capital decide that allowing this shit to go on is better for them than having to allow the FTC to do mild monopoly investigations and require cancellation buttons on websites.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Time to bring back the Murderapolis label. Murdered by our government.

Minor point here but Eat Street, where this happened, got that official nickname because it's lined with restaurants from all over the world. It's a beloved symbol of immigrant cultures and a place that showcases pluralism in a state (wrongly but frequently) stereotyped as a land of low-key Swedes

It just keeps getting worse

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

The majority of Americans are demanding to abolish ICE and democratic leadership stroll in like:

Anne Boleyn? The same one who lived during a time when all the female theatrical roles were performed by dudes? That Anne Boleyn?

they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.

If you’re not in MN, you may be unaware that this current weather is WARM for January. A high below zero is not uncommon. These goons are NOT ready. Also, read quotes of the tweet below to put a smile on your face.

The Kyle Farnsworth-Iowa mystery might have been just been solved 🕵️‍♂️

Say her name: Renee Good. ICE out of Minneapolis and Minnesota now.

Alright children, time to learn about the food merkin!

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

Erica says my hair is too long (it probably is), but I kinda like my waves 😔

I learned today that the trombone used to be called the sackbut. Now you know that too.

“Why are kids getting into comics” I dunno, dude why are fish getting into swimming, why are birds getting into singing, why are clouds getting into raining, why are plants getting into photosynthesis www.bbc.com/news/article...

Pretty sure this lady was a villain in about a dozen Stephen King novels

Teaching tip: have tons of post-its available for students to doodle on. Improves focus, reduces destructive behavior, and some kids make some real neat art.

It's always nice to have data about who is actually replaceable in the workplace.

Relationship tip: do a puzzle with your spouse. That way you can rage at the stupid fucking piece of shit. Together, as a couple.

Perfect time for a nice warm sausage

1985, a very good year.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
