Fresh in from the snow.

The first teaser for “Avengers: Doomsday” is out:

How much stress from your job is the acceptable amount? Like when it affects your health. Asking for a friend.

Reading a lot about the healthcare subsidies debate. So far I’ve seen ONE article mention that this vote is the only deal that Dems agreed on to end the shutdown. The busy news cycle lost the thread and isn’t mentioning this important detail. www.npr.org/2025/12/11/g...

Minneapolis has declared a snow emergency. Day 1 parking rules will begin at 9 p.m. tonight, Dec. 10. More: https://www.minneapolismn.gov/getting-around/snow/snow-emergencies/snow-parking-rules/

Dang, the Minnesota Yacht Club is getting to be quite legit. www.minnesotayachtclubfestival.com Might need to look into tickets for the fam to see a few of these...

SNL currently deciding if it’s even worth dunking on this, as there is little absurdity that could be added.

Some crazy total moves here. More crazy is that a mail rental DVD company has continually evolved to the point they can buy one of the most heralded studios in history.

In case you were wondering about the impact of Trump’s racist rhetoric and its impact at the local level, here is how it’s impacting Minneapolis Public Schools.

I’m going to get back into my creative writing with mini-challenges. Come read if you’re into short fiction. #creativewriting open.substack.com/pub/michaelr...

#AppleMusicReplay is out. Honestly surprised my kids jamming to songs on repeat didn’t totally skew it like normal. “Feel It Still” is all them for most played 😂

Photos from St. Paul today captured by MPR photojournalist Kerem Yücel. He filed them even after being hospitalized after being injured by a less lethal munition.

I am very happy to see snow again. 😊

Sad end for #MNUFC, another year, another loss in the semifinals. And maybe the end of DSC’s run with the club? Fun year, gotta wonder what could have been?!

😩 #mnufc

😂🤘🎸🥁

If you’re wondering why MTG is waiting for January 5 to resign….it’s always about the money

They line up perfectly.

Maybe I’m jaded or broken by how fed govt works in 2025, but sure feels like all upcoming released files are going to be a big nothing-burger, leading to a day of hype, and no consequences for anyone.

I know some early hot takes are this is bad for #MNUFC, but think of the warm weather gear they can push with this news! apple.news/ATwg2hMG8T1m...

It’s back!

Hey #Minneapolis, go outside! There’s an amazing aurora borealis clear to the naked eye. Never seen an aurora before, simply beautiful.

Monday night at 9pm Central! No national TV! No other game that night! I simply cannot believe this league’s inability to make any sense! #MNUFC

UNREAL. DAYNE ST. CLAIR SCORES A PENALTY IN THE SHOOTOUT, ANDREW THOMAS HITS THE BAR, THE LOONS WIN THE SHOOTOUT 7-6 AND ADVANCE, EVERYONE IN THE STADIUM IS SCREAMING SO I MIGHT AS WELL DO THIS IN ALL CAPS #MNUFC #SOUNDERS

CUE WONDERWALL - Keeper on Keeper and Thomas hits the crossbar, #MNUFC are through

BREAKING: Jacob Frey wins reelection as mayor of Minneapolis, defeating challengers including democratic socialist and state Sen. Omar Fateh.

Because Frey didn't get more than 50% of the first round votes, no winner was declared yet and won't be until tomorrow at the earliest.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

#MNUFC will come home to try and finish off the Sounders in G3. Weird start time at 3 PM! Gonna check for tickets later this week.

Best of the best 🧤 Dayne St. Clair has been named the 2025 @mls Goalkeeper of the Year. 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 » https://utd.mn/3X5NQZo

From Oct 1-31, it’s all Halloween music. From Black Friday to Dec 25, it’s Christmas music. From Nov 1 to Thanksgiving? Soooooo much Vince Guaraldi, jazz, and folk music.

Money DOES buy you championships, in fact it can buy you a few. Bring on the salary cap.

Friends have sent pumpkin photos and two (so far) have done 67 ones. All by adults. 🤣 I truly believe millennial parents will gladfully take 67 to the intentional cringe level just to annoy our kids.

Scientists have found the first compelling evidence that cognitive training can boost levels of a brain chemical that typically declines as people age. n.pr/4o0QwmO

After 5 more listens, including one on headphones, I can confirm that this album is actually super fun and I’m super into it. Go listen and have fun! #TameImpala

Here’s a fast how-to for those interested in blocking the accounts on the lists.

Well that’s not the start you want. It was a fun season to be a Brewers fan, not sure I can force myself to endure watching us get crushed again to end it.

Go Brewers

And just like that, a New Yorker article confirms I'm not crazy thinking that www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Kevin Parker, the musician behind Tame Impala, said that his new album was shaped in part by the spirit of Australia’s bush doofs—all-night dance parties thrown in rural, off-the-grid locales. “To me, that’s musical Nirvana,” he said.

New Tame Impala album out today. I've listened to the album once through and I need another listen before I decide what I really feel. It feels like two totally different albums. The first half is exactly the TI you expect, and the second jumps straight into a DJ set at a rave.

Jacob Misiorowski makes Tommy Edman look foolish and then freezes Teoscar Hernandez. Two big outs to settle this down. The Brewers can have all the belief in the world, but what they need right now is some runs.

Ashby has gotta be exhausted, right?! He’s pitched a million innings during this postseason.

Credit to Dodgers pitching. Back to back absolute gems from their starters. Brewers bats are struggling to find good contact, meanwhile Brewers are burning arms. Still not giving up though! Need some sun and warmth to turn it around.

Dang, what a game. I’m honestly not mad. It was a ridiculous pitching game, and a remarkable feat to get bases loaded with two outs in bottom of the 9th. Hope we’ve got enough fresh arms for tomorrow.

Saving this one for all kinds of future use

That insanity goes down officially as a grounded into double play, making it the only batted ball hit over 350 feet for a GIDP in the pitch tracking era (reg. + postseason). Max Muncy grounded into a 404-foot double play.
