Hey Twin Cities, do we have any worker-owned or union moving companies in town?

Roth IRA: A retirement account that allows contributions of after-tax dollars, with the potential for tax-free growth and withdrawals in retirement. David Lee Roth IRA: Bozee count contribyoozy after-zabbadow here to party! growth withdrawal zow.

Sidewalk Diamonds are psyched for this show, it’s gonna be a rockfest

Excellent post-storm rainbow in the 55104

Absolutely the thinnest skin on earth, science is baffled

This is all very good. The point "you are projecting your own competency on to them" took me so long to internalize, but they are indeed a bunch of scared babies who want everyone else to be just as scared (so they can make a buck off of it)

“Fine, we’ll install the air conditioning! I never want to see your thighs again, Dave.”

So cool to have a national gravel championship stage here this year, a great recognition of the gravel history in southern MN. I rode the Almanzo 100 twice along with many other gravel races in my faster, fitter days. www.startribune.com/minnesotas-g...

Love to spend all weekend fighting off a head cold (my first in a few years, not COVID) only to feel better in time to work on Monday.

Some days it’s more fun to find the longest invalid words

"We are told that AI is inevitable, that we must adapt or be left behind. But universities are not tech companies. Our role is to foster critical thinking, not to follow industry trends uncritically." www.ru.nl/en/research/...

My pet pop culture conspiracy theory is that Criterion Channel gets a cool million every time it finds a way to feature The Long Goodbye

Well it's started. I got a work email from someone who said they tried and failed to get AI to do their job for them, now asking me to do it for them instead. AI is going to enable a whole new level of people who just want the bullet points and can't be bothered to research and understand a topic.

Jacque Tati’s My Dinner With Andre

Doctor i trust more than rfk jr

I stand for language

To be fair, the only thing computers are bad at is math

Rewatching Klute, and Jane Fonda is not a great actor. Every line sounds like she's practicing in front of a mirror.

I had to see 2 cybertrucks yesterday, if you're wondering how my holiday weekend went

This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor. Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1996...

Tossup: Wayne Kramer at 7th St Entry, 1995, coming back with his excellent album The Hard Stuff Viagra Boys at 7th St Entry, 2019, we left that show saying "these guys are going to be big"

This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Need a space of respite, Twin Cities? The Grief Room is opening their doors. "..a warm, private sanctuary on Grand Avenue—a space created for reflection, care, & community. Here, you can sit in quiet, light a candle, journal, or simply allow yourself to feel and be supported." www.thegriefroom.com

BTW. Identities and motives of shooters don't matter. They serve two purposes. 1. To distract from action on gun violence. 2. To spread the shooter's messages, increase notoriety, and encourage copycat shooters. Do not fall into the identity conversation trap. This is about guns, nothing else.

sorry to be obnoxious about this, but: my main band is playing this Saturday night and all signs point to us kicking a lot of ass; the other bands playing with us are also great. You should come! It's Saturday night! C'mon!

After a short summer break, Sidewalk Diamonds has shows coming soon! We're part of an afternoon of music at the farm, opening for Roe Family Singers at 331, then part of a total rockshow at Pillar with The Hobbled and Creekside Ruffians.

We rewatched the Watchmen movie yesterday and today restarting the series from 2019. So good, so depressingly good.

New song! I had to grit my teeth and hop through a few excerpts through the Frankie Valli section (I hate his singing voice) and trust the storyteller, and it’s paying off nicely

I love the light rail but it’s hard to keep recommending it to people when the stations are consistently filthy and there’s someone using meth on the train every other trip or so.

the white house does not belong to donald trump

There's a whole site about Microsoft news now?

The Herbergers and TJMaxx spaces have been empty for years. Midway thrived because of the number the business density we once had, big and small stores. A single big box is not enough to carry the neighborhood.

When I’m sent to hell I will find myself on multiple email threads with committees that are a little too large, where nobody reads past the first sentence of an email before replying all.

Doubleplus ungood

The German and Swede work crews who applied stucco to Twin Cities houses in the early 20th century have at least one thing in common with the Mexican work crews installing roofs and siding today: a boundless appetite for oompah accordion music.

If you’re a cable host interviewing a Republican this week and you don’t come prepared with the crime stats from their home state or city, you’re missing the easiest dunk imaginable.

You just know if he saw white kids poppin' wheelies in Myrtle Beach or whatever the fuck this post would be about the joyous exuberance of youth

cool, next legalize kei cars & trucks

Minneapolis & St. Paul, please keep an eye out for Mary’s stolen bike!

I wrote about Saint Paul's Ward 4 special election. tl;dr I would vote for Molly Coleman, despite some reservations. naomikritzer.com/2025/08/08/s...

interesting how some tech bros claim college is overrated and people should drop out but “Ph.D level” is a marker of expertise

From this month's edition of The Onion.

maybe the real problem is that she's unconcerned

7/ St Paul's restrictive zoning is straight out of the 1990s: eg University Avenue is limited to 2.5 stories from Snelling to Capitol, on $1Billion of LRT infrastructure. The CVS intersection in particular that everyone is upset about won't amount to anything unless this is radically changed.

My wife is a mortician and wanted to see Museum Vrolik on a recent trip to Amsterdam and it was amazing www.museumvrolik.nl
