Happy St. Pat's! 🍀 I grew up listening to the taps of my dad's feet on the floor while he listened to Thistle & Shamrock on Sunday nights, finishing up lesson plans for the coming week, so that's my soundtrack while I work today.

Greenfield Village, Williamsburg of the Rust Belt

Hey electric snowblower buyers - if you have Xcel, don’t forget to get your rebate! #mnwx

Same people who also have the overly-aggressive "NO PEE ZONE!!" signs for dogs.

Video I obtained through a public records request on behalf of MN50501 shows Liam and his dad boarding a Delta Air Lines flight at MSP. Delta was silent when workers were being snatched up by ICE at MSP, but was a vocal supporter of the Big Beautiful Bill, which increased ICE’s funding.

HIT US WITH THE MOULIN ROUGE, BABY!!

Hell yeah Michael B Jordan!!

I love PTA, but no.

Raphael Saadiq does NOT get enough credit or awards. Really bummed about that one. #oscars

Javier!!! 👏👏👏😭🇵🇸

Everyone who worked on Sinners seems rad as hell - must have been such a great experience to work on that film and with Ryan Coogler. I just want them to win everything. #Oscars

Sigourney is so good - even when she has to do a dumb bit she kills it 🔥 But also, how have they not fixed the sound yet???? #Oscars

They typically kind of fumble the In Memorium segment - I’m glad they didn’t this year. That’s one of the better formats I’ve seen. 💔 #Oscars

Okay, HERE we go!! 👏👏👏

Oh ma gawd this production situation is a mess 😂😭 #Oscars

Do the Oscar audience vibes feel weird this year, or is it that the reactions seem a little off due to the really distracting sound issues they’re clearly having? #Oscars

A Winter Haiku for Dogs: Do you even know how much extra time I spend clearing your nice path

Vivid(ish) memories of college parties and plunging solo cups into the industrial tub filled with room temperature Hairy Buffalo.

Yesterday was a bread day, so (naturally) today is a cheese day. All cheese, all day. The beauty of this setup is that the leftovers absolutely *necessitate* Fondue Monday.

This is where I'm at with every app/site - increasingly finding that the reasons to *not* use something outweigh the reasons to stay - usually a relief to delete! Next step is dropping all of my Meta accounts. Will lose access to groups + business presence, but just doesn't matter as much anymore.

And so begins another 12 hours of my dog whining at the back door to be let out, only to walk outside for 2 minutes and turn around to be let right back in.

Despite the dramatic face, it is NOT windy yet. Perfect time to shovel/snow blow. Seems like so far we’ve had maybe 7” in Mendota Heights? #mnwx

Went out for a 1st pass since my snow blower is a lil guy (electric 21” single stage) and it’s absolutely gorgeous out there. Probably 4-5”? #mnwx

Your semi-regular reminder that a Twin Cities weather feed exists and you can pin it up top for easy access and updates. Local mets + weather news + anything tagged with #mnwx (and use the tag if you’ve just been on the road! Wondering what the driving conditions are like at the moment…)

Steady flakes flying in 55120 #mnwx

NOW we're talkin. Charge your devices, find your flashlight, gather your carbs, pick out your books, and start building your blanket fort.

A March weekend snowstorm: The exceptional decennial circumstance that throws households into total anarchy. For a brief moment, rules only exist to be broken. The natural order is upended. Chaos reigns. And out of the snow-capped pandemonium…a new utopia is born. Breakfast for every meal.

Gold Medal reflection

Happy National Loon Day!

One of my favorite posts from the old site was someone recalling that whenever they asked a coworker how she was doing, the coworker would reply, "I'm hanging on like a hair on a biscuit." Such a great turn of phrase.

Welp. It was my neighbor’s dead pine tree. Could be worse. #mnwx

Just heard something sizable hit the house/ground outside. Now I am laying here playing “get up to check it out, or go back to bed…?”.

When it comes to terrible travel experiences, Miami International Airport's South Terminal (looking at you, Delta!) remains undefeated.

Sometimes you forget that the songs you sang at 12-ish years old were maybe a little more suggestive than you remembered - like when you’re on vacation with your extended family and choose Salt-N-Pepa’s “Shoop” on kareoke night. But no going back once I started that one.

Going to preface this by noting, not only did many of us check to make sure this gentleman was okay, as the day went on we realized it’s simply his style. Anyway, it the closest Weekend at Bernie’s situation I’ve ever seen in real life.

Enjoying the spring porch sounds before 3rd winter. Meditate with @alleysofmpls.bsky.social ✨

I have the office windows open and there's so much drip happening today that it sounds like the house is surrounded by exotic water features.

Other than Naked Gun, which was great, this was a baaad run. But if you're into Edith Head designs, A New Kind of Love has some of the best I've seen (the hats are absolute 🔥🔥🔥). #lastfourwatched

Ok this looks awesome...

Watching @jackiekashian.bsky.social ‘s new special live! It’s a day that demands some good laughs - come on over and forget about everything else for a little bit

I-94 is the state's largest public works project and the current designs are just awful. Time is running out. Ask for a project pause! better94.org/Take-Action/

I made a Twin Cities weather feed a while ago and it's particularly helpful on days like today. Local mets + TC weather-related news + NWS alerts and advisories. You can also use #mnwx to add a post to the feed. Stay safe out there today! #TwinCities #Minneapolis #SaintPaul #StPaul #Minnesota

Just heard this song at the pharmacy and had a flashback to hearing it 40 years ago at the pharmacy as a kid. This substantiates my theory that all pharmacies share one singular playlist that's been used for decades. Songs can be added sparingly, but once on the list, they can never be deleted.

All gun ownership does is result in: people shooting their relatives by mistake, shooting someone in road rage, getting their guns stolen, or shooting themselves during a crisis. Almost never for self-defense (sub-optimal to pepper spray anyways) and never in U.S. history to stop authoritarianism

Pizza Luce is matching donations to Pillsbury United Communities through 22nd, which is pretty neat (also the current seasonal pizza is very good)

Guys, I am planning a St. Paul bike bread crawl (Tour de Bread) for spring, and I just thought I'd tell you that the locations are represented on Google Maps with little baguette icons. Just thought you might like to know.

That little monkey got me, goddammit.

Ye gods 💀 Get on the waiting list for @offprint.app
