Which one of you forgot to tell me that Amsterdam is doing proper shows now?

Wowowow incredible thunder. More!

Has Mayor Frey been south of downtown for anything celebratory or positive this year? Or last year? I saw @dewayneforminneapolis.com and @jchavezmpls.bsky.social at Powderhorn’s Porch Fest, seems like a great spot for Mayors to meet with their constituents.

Maybe we need to flood the socials with CK quotes. Maybe if they’re paired with AI slop images, they’ll actually break through the algos

Look, mechanical watches are great. I’ve never cared enough to own one. And it seems like because of that, I’m $8k richer.

🤭 They also have a trans flag flying 🫡

The radio claimed that millennials were optimistic overall and idk man

Let’s link up with Wisco and Illi! Build a moat along our western and southern borders? Eventually get absorbed into Oh Can!

Y’all know that Mayor Dingus is actively ignoring East Phillips and their requests to buy the old Roof Depot site for an urban farm and housing project, right? They’re offering over the appraised value, and the Mayor is ignoring them completely. Email or call or shout at him if you get the chance.

Anyone now why Homeland Security is stationed outside the State Fair bus exits?

Idk how I feel about the white out state population of the state fair chanting along to “how I could just kill-a-man” by Cypress Hill…

@sarahdope.com that seemed like a lot by Lupe

Just putting this out into the world, but if anyone comes across someone with an extra GA or other standing room ticket for the Atmosphere show at the State Fair tomorrow, I’d be happy to pay face value for it. 🥸

chelsea mcfarren says keeping park board endorsements but not mayor shows the DFL is unhappy about results, not process

I’m so glad BlueSky is still pissed about the DFL. Reddit quickly went to “both siding” the situation.

How does he expect to govern (if he even wins) after repeatedly alienating, in some of the most gaslighting and problematic ways, anyone who opposes him?

When JID gets going, he nails it music.apple.com/us/album/gz/...

Idk if there is a play here, but what if Anthropic could settle the copyright class action in such a way that it admitted to its stealing, offered compensation to the creators, and drove a stake through the heart of OpenAI? Might set them back a bit, but could they end up stronger than competitors?

“See you at the State Fair” says my bank, my grocer, my mailman, my pet groomer, my laundry detergent, my …

How is this not the top headline? How does this not topple this idiot? Asking for a friend.

Did they learn nothing from HBO

Mayor Frey's 2026 Budget Address (Only the Flubs)

Do not trust the “Best of MN” magazine that the @startribune.com put out. None of the categories or winners make any sense.

“Have a pretty good time” perfection

The best thing Frey has done for the 2040 Plan as mayor is not get in its way. And his City Attorney's Office bungled the defense to the sham environmental lawsuit so badly that he had to be bailed out by a state legislative solution spearheaded by.... Omar Fateh

Wait wait wait, have we just entirely dropped the plot line that the president doesn’t actually have authority to set tariffs?

Wait, you can’t really sell renewable energy to other countries, can you? Like you can with oil or gas. Maybe you could if you’re connected to their grid… but I doubt it’s really possible via battery. Is this why conservatives, many of whom are rich from oil trades, are so against renewable?

It’s like we can’t win. It’s either excessive heat (with super high humidity), raining/thunderstorms, or high AQI levels. I’m not easily motivated to do my yard chores and this weather pattern is making it ESPECIALLY hard.

Remember when .ai just ment it came from Adobe?

I’d lock into a lifetime contract if my cellular provider blocked all these bullshit unwanted marketing and sales texts (and calls) that come through. Responding with STOP to every offer of small family funding turns out to not be very effective in actually getting it to stop.

We briefly discussed naming our Nuclear Pasta factory something like ‘Buca di Nuclo’ but decided,

This is such a weird hill to die on, since this endorsement does nothing to block Frey or anyone else from the Nov ballot. Also, if this guy doesn’t identify with “the left” maybe don’t caucus with the DFL? I know this is like yelling at the cat to stop knocking over water glasses, but still.

Anyone have a guest link to this?

Voicemail transcription of my pizza delivery from yesterday: “hello, this is Pete Luce, I have pizza for your front door”

I don’t want hallucinated AI junk at the top of every search. I do want links to short, succinct, human generated info about the topic I’m looking for. But Google killed that version of the web when they convinced everyone to write a full romance novel at the top of their beet salad recipe.

I know we can’t talk about parking in Minneapolis without risking getting sued, but where’s our parking reform around transit?? As much as I love the messaging from the non-Frey candidates, I still feel like we’re missing big bold visions. Like what if Jazz, Davis just did that for the next 3mos?

I bet if Frey had won the endorsement he would have started spouting off about having a “mandate”

At a certain point we have to stop reacting to all the dumb WH and DHS memes and stuff, right? Like, the dumb dumb stuff. Eventually it’ll just look weird for them to post these things. But if we react and fume then they’re serving their intended purpose.

That was a big boom.

I bet Colbert could win a presidency

Every social media post should start with “this is opinion, proceed with caution”

I think GenAI would be much more engaging if it made sounds like a dot matrix printer

hear me out — duluth, but no water

I like drummers who aren’t afraid to crash their ride

I would bet that the energy of a Zohran-like campaign here in Minneapolis wouldn’t be too hard to do @omarfatehmn.com @dewayneforminneapolis.com Get out for an hour every day, surround yourself with some good people (not suits) and ride the bus, or pick up trash, or just walk up Franklin Ave.

This should flip any repub in TX who is on the fence. “Your reps are actively working against keeping you safe, and because of that children died. Demand they do better.” Follow that up with “oh wait, the BBB slashed any funding they could have used to protect you from disaster…”

Can you imagine if “human intelligence” (ok whatever that is) was just predicting what to say next? Like no non-verbal thought?

Let’s just stop with this shit @semafor.com — this dingle berry’s actions don’t “hint” at anything. Take their actions at face value for what they are and the harm they will cause. There’s no “but maybe this time!!!” and it’s frustrating to be spoken down to like this.

Can we ask the MPLS mayoral hopefuls how they feed about commercial vacancy/land value tax? There are so many vacant store fronts, and I’d really like to see incentives to fill them that don’t put all the risk onto small businesses.
