Rage against the Regime. Turf Club

Spurs are one point from relegation on March 5.

There's still some people who wish Al Franken was still Senator because he was funny. But no way he comes close to something as hilarious as this by Tina Smith.

Mom was going to meet my eventual dad for a first date right after work. She got cold feet when she saw him in his car and asked the janitor to tell him she had left already. Janitor refused saying you promised that young man, you have to see it through for at least one date.

Hey @wentrogue.bsky.social only Feelies show of 2026. Crazy Rhythms and Good Earth played in entirety. Plus others.

This is why Angie Craig regrets her pro-ice vote.

As usual, Tom nails it.

Funny this didn’t apply to Republicans when they expressed contempt for Biden, Obama, Clinton….

It's not the main takeaway, but Craig's piece in the Strib is a classic "shit sandwich" response. Bracket the bad between two positive statements. It's actually quite effective if you want to give a friend/colleague bad news or answer a job interview question seeking negative info. Example:

It's pretty disappointing in all these local media stories about Bill Guerin and the US Hockey team that it's not mentioned that Guerin was the one who invited Patel to the locker room. Guerin can't control whatever ever odious thing Trumps says, but he could control that one aspect.

Woot!

Is the St. Paul jacket becoming too cool for St. Paul? I’m worried there’s some serious #KSPB violations happening.

When Backlash plays at this off the main drag Florida club, the County Public Health Dept sets up a STD clinic right in the parking lot.

Monday night jazz in Naples with the olds

🎶 We will take off our clothes And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine And when all is breaking everything that you could keep inside Now your eyes ain't moving now, they just lay there in their climb 🎶

Chelsea had been sleepwalking the last 15 minutes. They deserved that result

Early in the new U2 song One Life at a Time there’s a pretty blatant ripoff of a Joy Division bass riff.

Bruce not shy on ticket prices. Last row upper bowl was $165. $200 behind the stage and mid-way upper bowl. $400+ Lower Bowl and $1000 for the floor.

If you are looking to get in line for the Noon Springsteen show tix on AXS, it's listed under Springsteen & E Street. Searching for Bruce Springsteen or Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band on AXS will not pull up the show.

Wow, Wrexham hosts Chelsea in 5th Round (final 16) on March 7. That should be a blast.

Me: that guy from The Association called today. Girlfriend: Oh man, I’m sorry that must have been rough. Sorry. Me: Oh I wasn’t home. Gf: Phew! Me: He left a voicemail.

I know it’s not the most remarkable thing about this photo but I hope that dude in upper left hoops, he’s tall as hell!

Shut up. Just shut up. You had me at hotdish and chill. You had me at hotdish and chill.

Hey Bluesky fam:

I'm afraid to admit it's Kevin Sorbo. (Please don't shoot the messenger).

Ironic Wordle today NYT.

I read once that typically there were 150 ICE agents in the metro area (or state?). Someone should ask Homan if they are going back down to that number.

The state patrol, county sheriffs, and local police know(!) ICE are illegally switching out license plates, running red lights, driving like maniacs, and causing mayhem on local streets while doing nothing about it. Only a matter of time that some bystander will be killed.

This is a must read for anyone who loves Patty Smith and wants to experience what it was like to see those shows in Chicago, NYC, and Boston. My only issue is that after reading this I'm kicking myself for not making the effort to go see one of these shows. #FOMO is real.

I wish one "journalist" would ask those who claim protesters are getting paid to explain the mechanism of how this could possibly be done. Anyone who has tried to get legitimately paid/reimbursed by their employer knows it's not easy. If people were getting paid, it would be so easy to prove.

Post a banger that’s not sung in English.

The New England Patriots have 50% more Super Bowl loses than the Minnesota Vikings.

I saw that Dunkin commercial with sound down and Nick Cave’s Mercy Seat playing. Folks, heaven and hell is U shaped and I touched both ends.

If Billy Joe was punk he would’ve included the sieg heil to President gasman.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. “Did you call 911?”

I get that the Strib loves them some Jacob Frey but jeez @rochelleolson.bsky.social get a room already!

I get there are more serious things happening but does anyone think it's strange that The Guthrie has a new production of Macbeth playing for almost a week now and no review in @stribgoingout.startribune.com? I guess I'll have to review when I see it on the 21st.

Hey if you want to support Camp Bar and adjacent restaurants for doing the right thing and canceling an asshole comic, here's your chance.

Frodo at the apiary is Lord of the Stings.

Reporting from St Paul 2-1 (basically downtown/lowertown). Over 50 people there. Mostly older and white. I’m a delegate and got a pro-trans rights resolution passed. I think lots of uncommitted for Gov. Abolish ICE resolution passed too.

With my February payment, my mortgage payment crossed over from more $$$ going to interest to more $$$ going to principle.

Besides Puerto Ricans ARE Americans, this "international stuff" is partly fueling the increase player's salaries.

Are there a list of resolutions (or sample language) that address support for trans people both in DFL and in general? I’d like to bring those to my caucus tomorrow. Can DM me too.
