Pelicans are awesome! One of the handful of things I miss from Florida

You do it by zoning pickleball courts to only be near things like refineries, rendering plants, munitions testing grounds and the like

/80 When I open Microsoft Word, the only thing I want to see is a blank page and a cursor staring back at me. Why don't you "take a tour" of my nuts. What is any of this? I've never clicked on any of these but "BLANK DOCUMENT"

Small building Wharton, TX

Felted fall landscape!!

Single-Stair Sickos might like to learn that a lot of European cities used to produce detailed books on their built environment, including complete floor plans. Here's a snippet from Hamburg und Seine Bauten (1914)

When Groundswell opens back up I’m gonna buy a whole loaf of their banana bread. I miss it so much

If you are an archeologist with sinister intent is your RESPONSIBILITY to rush to Washington D.C. and start digging around — you need to discover some sort of dangerous, bloodthirsty ancient cryptid, up to and including a primordial life spirit the discovery of which triggers some sort of cataclysm

People say bad things about nepotism, but I kinda get it. Children get a lot of unteachable skills from their parents that allow them to exceed in the same field. For instance: I've become really good at drinking 4-7 beers and complaining about the inferior quality of modern consumer appliances.

excuse me??

Gotta keep that family tradition of insider trading alive and well

Trump learned an important lesson here. Nothing will make multi-millionaire, privileged Democratic congresspeople (and their most vocal donors) cave faster than messing with air travel before a holiday. He arbitrarily cut flights, and Dems immediately folded. What a bunch of country club pansies.

Cars might work fine in California or Florida, but they’re not practical here in Canada. We have winter.

Genuinely such an interesting long thread on why these suits look crap and yet how a particular type of crap suit has become a cultural signifier for right-wing men.

Minnesota Appellate Court Watch: a quiet week on the docket overall, but punctuated by one of the loudest cases I've seen in a while. A reversal of the denial of an Order for Protection that is as searing as our appellate courts ever get. CW: domestic abuse, sexual extortion, housing instability

Happy November 10th

Let’s retrofit this onto the former Midway Walmart

I found a bunch of cool photos from the Hennepin County Library (Whittier Alliance Records collection) of the old Sheffield Elevator Company grain elevator. It stood between Harriet and Garfield Avenues along the 29th Street railroad (Midtown Greenway), now occupied by the Soo Line Garden.

woah plot twist

reminded of the only good essay from daily kos. almost 20 years old and nothing has changed. www.dailykos.com/stories/2007...

Until the sun burns out

I do not think a single constituent has ever said that to her. I do think she hears it a lot from people with net worths over 8 figures that she meets at fundraisers though

Reminds me of this 1910 postcard, depicting St Paul as the "center of the earth"

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

turned the heat today so I guess it’s finally be-cold-for-the-next-5-to-6-months season

Charlie Brown-ass logic, smdh

overheard in minneapolis: “new place opened in north loop” the place:

The core problem is Democrats want the government to function and Republicans want it to cease existing

The explosion of the atomic bomb was so intense it burned "shadows" into walls

Saint Paul

oh wow the Barriger Library posted the press kit for EMD's release of the GM6C and GM10B, imagine the future where these panned out @sandypsj.bsky.social @a320lga.bsky.social @rustbeltenjoyer.bsky.social

we have been conquered by the Irish and the German

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

This is why the Winged Wheel represents Saint Paul

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

They meant 15 year mortgages, right? RIGHT?!?

A 50 year mortgage would just cause house prices to increase, right?

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

Me in the @startribune.com today on the moral obligations of elected officials: www.startribune.com/twin-cities-...

must be getting late in the year - the orion nebula is visible. at semi-reasonable hours, even.

Kinda weird seeing so many green leaves on the ground like this

The hard part’s over: we’ve already built the neighborhood-to-neighborhood rail network that connects the city, as well as the suburb-to-downtown rail network that brings suburbanites in and out of the urban core. All we have to do is connect them all together. That’s why we need to #BuildTheTunnel.

Eight Minnesota counties have signed agreements with ICE minnesotareformer.com/2025/11/07/e... Every single county that signs such agreements should be automatically and immediately excluded from *all* state transportation funding, County Program Aid funding, and Community Corrections funding.

This absolute unit

I feel like I just found a gold nugget! During my daily streetview ambling I just now discovered a 1925 apartment building designed by RM Schindler that was thought to have been demolished for the 101 freeway. But it wasn’t! It was *moved.* (first screenshot is from US Modernist)
