It’s wild to me that Frey got away with literally RUNNING during every public event I saw him at this year so no one could ask him pointed questions. Constantly in motion so constituents could not speak to him.

“If you like tasing kids at Decemberists shows you are gonna LOVE working in Houston”

What's happening in TX-18 is more obscene than not seating Grijalva during pro formas. Turner died in March. Abbott delayed the special election until yesterday, and now it goes to a runoff early *next year.* Congress can and should require special elections to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.

I like to stave the void by mulching my leaves one thousand times.

No but srsly Mpls. If staring down the barrel of another 4 years of Frey’s got you down, use that energy to put pressure on MPS. There is a still time for a BIG WIN in Minneapolis. Settling the contract w/ enforceable class sizes would be such a bright spot in this city and we can do it!!!

I hope @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social can use the energy from his win to put pressure on the school board to settle the contract with enforceable class sizes!!! My calls to his office go unanswered but perhaps this will work!

If he does pull this out, there's a book to be written about how he and his cronies transformed one of the most democratically engaged cities in America into a bitter, cynical place where a widely despised mayor can somehow magically win three terms.

*taps sign*

I am always bouyed when I see someone’s solo protest and this piece helps put that feeling and the why into words. Here’s a car I saw at the park yesterday “In other words, we are not primarily trying to convert those who do not agree with us; we are trying to reinforce and rally those who do. “

The officer Sandwich Guy is charged with assaulting testifies that he could feel the impact of the sandwich through his ballistic vest, and it “exploded all over my uniform.” He says he could “smell the onions and the mustard.”

WAKE UP DUMMY DICK CHENEY IS DEAD

this is such an all-timer when it comes to photos of losers.

whatever spiritual practice I’ve cobbled together includes BareBones

me eating cornbread: cornbread, ain’t nothing wrong with that

Can’t ever imagine Jacob Frey doing this. “And there was Mamdani again, sitting quietly in the front row next to Lander. He didn't take the microphone. He didn't try to center the event on himself. He was just listening. Bearing witness.”

these people are NASTY. they’re always acting like petulant, hateful little babies. same with Emily Olson’s nasty comments on Mariah Samuels murder. Frey and his ilk move in lockstep with the Trump admin when it comes to not knowing how to fucking act.

the quilters were on to something when they came up with that knot

if The Gong Show was American, why is “gong show” only used as slang by Canadians???

for halloween, i wrote about how dressing up as madonna for halloween made me realize that i could actually just transition, open to see my bad madonna costume open.substack.com/pub/myownsum...

they made scrub mommys because moms can be scrubs too.

wow, barf

call me crazy, but $23.99 a pound for Peace Coffee is too much.

macklemore hearing this song for the first time: “this must be about people thinking you’re gay”

this is such a funny response to someone asking how to convert a number to text within Cognos.

this is funny because the city of minneapolis actively makes it difficult to raise children in the city. no public restrooms and 30+ 6 year olds in a class. we’re not going to have politicians who can pick on transplants at this rate.

growing up in Houston, one of my favorite parts of the commute to school was looking at the Mary’s murals and window art. My favorite was always the Easter displays. I loved hearing my mom tell stories about her coworkers who performed at Mary’s. texas has always been queer as fuck and always will

is there anything more perfect than a 45 degree day? a 23 degree night is a close second.

I want new snowshoes but am worried that the amount of power the universe has imbued in me means if I get them we won’t get snow for the third year in a row.

“Sometimes I wish I could boldly go where no man has gone before... but I'll probably stay in Aurora.”

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull” First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided. With me so far? 1/x

really beautiful words from Victor Bernal about Big Moe here. he’s put so much care, thought, and respect into this project

I’m glad throughout my time on council, I’ve refused to rubber stamp Frey’s constant attempts to get his allies and donors insider access to City Hall. City Hall should be the people’s place—not used as a personal piggy bank to payback political favors.

I get high off the thought of you on fire I don't know why, but it's true You must be a special kinda stupid You can't see all that you've ruined

any adult who refers to themselves or someone else as having haters is unwell. honestly it’s one of the best red flags out there. if you refer to a group as haters, it’s safe to assume you have a simplistic, uninteresting worldview centered around being a victim

what a career!

I am devastated by this news.

thankful for the fired up people

I started using duck duck go and honestly it kinda sucks ass but it made me realize accessing the internet shouldn’t be frictionless and should kind of suck so that you keep your head screwed on straight and log off

this and the expansion of Houston’s Emancipation Park are good, important news. Frey’s unwillingness to understand the importance of George Floyd Square is so fucking baffling and will be hard to explain in the future.

I can never get over the fact that this song is about Heroes’ Nathan Petrelli. And that he cheated on Natalie Maines on Natalie’s boat!!!!!

it’s a balance sheet, not an income statement

“Doesn’t that water look like root beer? I wish it were too. Unfortunately, it’s just colored by tannic acid bleached from cedar swamps upstream.”

Andrew officiated an impromptu wedding at the 2023 Wikimania conference between a couple whose romance sparked in his Wikidata trainings! After saying “I do” they updated Wikidata to say they were married. I cried commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wi...
