Glad to see the Avs go down. Just need the Habs or Carolina to beat Vegas, then things will be a little less bad.

Well… huh… I’m very curious what he did. (Mpls police chief)

I firmly believe most professional athletes are, well, not the kind of people you’d want to hang out with. It’s fun to learn about the ones who are interesting outside of the sport. Joey Votto’s post-retirement life: Sushi chef, yoga instructor, world traveler www.nytimes.com/athletic/730...

Oof… enough. So, anyway, no Diego Luna eh? That’s sad, this is a very uncool team, it needs some coolness.

Whelp… I guess Mollach the Destroyer is on their way. We had a good run.

Lazy person’s margarita: mezcal and lemonade. Delicious!

The only real sporting dynasty in MN is Carleton Ultimate. I’m not an alum nor do I care for the game, but they are dominant.

This seems way underpriced. www.facebook.com/share/19ziA2...

Guy doesn’t allow replies by anyone and extolls virtue of platform owned by nazi. Fun!

Today my son accomplished something I was never able to do: he won a sectional doubles match against a team from Blake. I lost in doubles to Blake at sectionals 4 times in the early 80s. Sadly, for his efforts, he has to play a team from Edina tomorrow. We’re hoping for a #miracleonconcrete

Beach Boys at Midway Stadium (I think… 96% sure that’s where it was). Went because I got free tix. Odious in every way. Left after about 20 minutes.

Introduce yourself with 10 acts you’ve seen live. ELO The Eagles Prince Clash Kurtis Blow/Fat Boys Ministry Dead Kennedy’s Shriekback Radiohead Andrew Bird

Wanted a small backpack for knocking around. Bought a 12L. Turns out 12L is very very small. But, maybe? I don’t know… I hate the rigamarole of returning stuff.

This is a cat checkpoint. Relinquish your most recent cat photo from your phone.

He could’ve won had he been more erudite and less, well, dumb-fucking-baseball-player.

There’s a post on the musicians wanted craigslist page titled “Very Electronic Metal.” That would be a pretty good band name.

So… I’m cheering for the Spurs. Used to go to SA for work in the Duncan era. Watched some playoff games at a super fun outdoor bar called The Friendly Spot (it had a play ground for kids and a giant inflatable screen). It was very good vibes.

We’re in deep doo-doo if the thesis here is correct. Because the ‘ol USA is filled to the brim with mediocre. I think any of us in Minnesota recognize this phenomenon based on our recent visits with ICE. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/w...

I like Sinner, but find his matching coaches supremely annoying.

Avoid Lake Harriet for a bit. HS prom kids from the western suburbs have overrun it. Park police could make a mint in parking tickets.

Just listened to this while doing some chores. Simultaneously horrifying and a little inspiring. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

My ability to get emotionally invested in sporting events/teams I have zero connection with is unmatched. Goddamnit Hearts!

I just looked it up, the NBA does still have a 3-second violation rule.

Do you ever read something and have a complete Beavis thought and then feel ashamed for such a tacky, childish Beavis thought?

The chortling about those Waymos is fair. Shit is funny. The conclusion that self-driving cars are dumb, unsafe, or somehow inefficient compared to cars driven by humans is, at best, premature. If we’re going to have cars, self-driving will be safer and more efficient.

Sheesh… While I was sure the Wild would lose, doing it like that is like… like… MN men’s pro sports distilled. An extract of failure.

Lots of people struggling with that Nicholas Kristof article on various socials. Trying to construct retorts. I’m guessing a lot of pulled muscles from the contortions. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

I’ve made the mistake of thinking about improving my home stereo. I have a nice, but older all-in-one NAD receiver/CD player and Epos speakers. I think I could improve how I get streaming music into it. Anyone waded into these waters? Any advice?

Blargh… Frost out, Wolves headed that direction… Wild probably cooked. Guess I can spend more time with my family soon… sigh…

This item was in the pics for an estate sale. I’m not going to that estate sale, nosirreebob

In 1970 I had 897 billion sperms. I was 4. They have dwindled to 1–his name is Carl. God bless RFK Junior

Slightly increase a band. Dinosaur Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeahs Husker Du Du Sonic Young Adults The Terminal Kennedy's

Sebastian Gorka is a nitwit. My one-eyed cat would fuck him up.

The wild just had a shift for the ages. Shame it didn’t result in a goal.

@bestshow4life.bsky.social Quiet here on b’sky, but, I just wanted to say I’m still chortling about RoBots vs. RoGan. A jeans wearing, shirtless RFKjr. wrongheadedly dropping Ivermectin from a plane on the robot hordes… very very funny.

It kind of feels like the South is looking to secede again.

Bauer Brothers closing is sad. That place was cool and fun. We got a very handy, narrow/tiny radiator there for our bathroom. Saved a ton of moola.

Opening night of my geezer soccer league and I’m up in my attic rooting around for some running tights. Yeesh.

“He killed my dogs. So I gutted him."

Found this working backwards after watching the Broken Social Scene documentary. It’s pretty great. music.apple.com/us/album/val...

This is a fascinating read. open.substack.com/pub/loscampe...

Listening to a podcast featuring the owner of Old Blood Noise Endeavors and now I’d like to give him a hug--I’d say buy a pedal, but can’t justify one at the moment.

Nothing happening at the moment, but bookmark and thank me later: www.nps.gov/dena/learn/p...

I’m watching this on Peacock and what. the. actual. fuck?!?!? What is the video game nonsense?

@scuffed.bsky.social great interview with the guy from 703 warriors. I loved his belief that you can organize great practices such that volunteers can run them. I firmly believe that. I know you’re familiar with Joy of the People, but check out SOL of the Cities as well.

I’m not 100% sure why this band hits so well for me, but they do and I’m super excited they have a new record coming out: music.apple.com/us/album/you...

If you’re in the Twin Cities and have a dirty car, my son’s high school tennis team is having a car wash fundraiser tomorrow (5/3) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Washburn High School. $10
