KEEP SOMETHING IN RESERVE FOR EMERGENCIES

Keep the X-Men in X-Mas.

I initially didn't know what it could be but looks like this might be the cause

Santa Tweet! Santa Tweet!

@mattfugazi.bsky.social Look around for other good versions of this joke structure.

Watched the holiday classic "The Limey" with my kid yesterday. (Love that movie and now my son does, too.)

Important pre-Christmas election news from SE Minneapolis.

People should attend a formal observer training in their area if they would like to help. Everyone that joins and can donate some time can potentially improve the effectiveness of efforts.

Some parents attended a Minneapolis Families for Public Educators meeting about raising money for families impacted by 🧊 who need rent assistance on 1.1 They've created a fundraising campaign on Give Butter to raise money for families aiming to raise $10,000

Minneapolis, why in the world is someone out there with a leaf blower cleaning a couple wet leaves off of the sidewalk. It is not necessary. Or pleasant.

Got an Angie Craig fundraising email. Gotta go take a shower now.

It’s that time of the year when we celebrate one of James Stewart’s best roles. He was never better than as incorruptible cop John Hartigan in Sin City (1952)

Liam is right—people on central are really scared. Go eat at Maya and El Taco Riendo and please please be kind and caring with our neighbors. I adore living off central and I can’t stand how this is going.

My shameless Xmas week advertising post: Last Minute Gifts for everyone plus Stocking Stuffers! Low low LOWER prices! You can't afford not to buy! Etc. Etc. Thanks for looking. I'm home now 'til Xmas morning so we'll be able to work out a pick up time minneapolis.craigslist.org/search/sss?u...

Hey Minneapolis pals, I know someone who needs some help with moving on Monday or Tuesday this week. This family has a kid and they are scared about being profiled while renting a truck. Does anyone have a pickup truck they can help out with for a little bit of time?They need about three hours.

This poster is a favorite around the holidays, and is also available as a note card or button. Search "Cardinals" on our website RlmArtStudio.com to get yours!

Dropped keys on the Blue line ~12:40p If anyone in Mpls finds keys on the Blue line, @metrotransitmn.bsky.social said they won't know if they're found until Monday at the earliest

There's never been a better time to do this ICE WATCH/ Community Defense training than TODAY (Friday) at 2pm tinyurl.com/y7arm8t9 Because 🚨‼️ICE is not slowing down, there is enough information from multiple sources that tell us they intend to AT LEAST DOUBLE their operations... (cont)

Has anyone tried Vivaldi browser and/or email? Thoughts?

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

For a contribution of $50 or more, I will mail you this abstract paper collage on vintage book board. 90% of the elements come from the June 1976 issue of National Geographic.

Latest from me in the Spokesman Recorder: 1.) ICE has reportedly the parking lots of Target stores in Richfield and Lake Street in South Minneapolis spokesman-recorder.com/2025/12/17/i...

Protest in Uptown somewhere-can hear it but not see it. Ambulance is parked outside and I saw a fire truck (no sirens) as well. Anyone else got news?

Re: the ICE actions in south Minneapolis Monday. DHS said "rioters" attacked officers with rocks and pepper spray. Note: I received lots of evidence and didn't see any rocks, the only pepper spray I saw was ICE agents sometimes spraying each other. I did see snow and possibly ice being thrown. (1)

Remember kids, if you buy boxes, shipping supplies, office supplies, or industrial supplies DO NOT SHOP ULINE.

It's election day in 64A. Make good choices!

i thought if i just kept busy the grief of losing my two best friends wouldn’t consume me. but i think i do need some supports. not sure what i am looking for, but probably a grief group where it’s ok to be really sad and cry. resources are appreciated. 🤍🤍

Never hurts to ask: anyone looking to unburden themselves of a ticket to Aimee Mann/Ted Leo/Josh Gondelman/Paul F Tompkins at the Fitzgerald tonight? Is so cold—surely you’d rather stay home, all warm and cozy?

I get such a thrill every time I realize I can make a quick detour and stop there on my way home! This place is a delight

we did this today, the coldest day of the year. it was great and easy and they’re so organized that even though some volunteers couldn’t make it in to pack up before we got there it was still painless once we got going it was SO QUICK! we could have done two routes tbh 11/10 would do again

PLEASE donate to our Venmo! We have trusted friends and collaborators bringing heat sources to as many people as we can find but we are running out of money and it is unbearably cold. Your neighbors need your help. @supplydepotmpls 💕💸

If you’re asking yourself, “should I avoid getting whatever terrible illness is going around the Twin Cities,” the answer is yes, yes you should.

@supplydepotmpls.bsky.social Hi! Wanted to let you know we dropped off a donation at b.resale that includes some blankets and some boots, amongst other things. Just passing along info in case you need them tonight-don't know how the lines of communication or pick ups work and all that. Thanks!

In call with clinicians, CDC recommends flu vaccines widely Both the CDC official and the WHO said preliminary UK data show that the current seasonal vaccine offers strong protection against subclade K. www.cidrap.umn.edu/i...

My kid got home earlier than usual from school because the new E Line is so zippy! @metrotransitmn.bsky.social

Aisha Chughta, budget chair: The controller's office pointed out that the $20 million overspend in MPD was something the city knew at the beginning of the year, "but nobody up here was planning for such an overage and its impact on the bigger picture. This is about bringing line of sight."

Stay safe, US friends. The FBI is compiling a list of domestic terrorists and I for one satisfy the criteria in all five possible ways. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/leak-fbi-l...
