tough day to be a boundary waters fan

And yes, I know Diet Coke isn’t good for either one of us But Target, if we’re going to you to purchase things, you have to have it in stock at the very least This is a lot of your ongoing issue - empty shelves on popular products

Total traffic got 62 east right now came to almost stand still for how many probable National Guard men are driving in. Probably not a good sign

I think my biggest ongoing gripe with Target is that they just can’t keep things in stock How do you run out of Diet Coke? How is that possible

I remember talking to my father after study abroad in France during college, saying that I’d love to see the ornate mosques of Iran to compare and contrast cathedrals. I remember *vividly* what he told me: “Hopefully in your lifetime you’ll be able to visit. I don’t think I will in my lifetime.”

More politics today here in Winona

Winona Caucus time

I've seen a lot of people worried about using AI logos for ICE OUT protests. While I can't personally verify which logos are AI and which are not I did make a human-made version of the Minnesota Rebel Alliance Logo. The logo is under Creative Common License CC0. Source files🔗⬇️

"ICE OUT" on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, as seen from my flight leaving MSP airport

I’ll be on the ground in Minneapolis for the next few days for Rolling Stone. If you or anyone you know is helping to organize your community to protect itself from ICE (or just helping them cope with the tragedy of Renee Good’s death), I’d love to speak with you

I'm not giving Mike Max a goddamn thing.

Opening night artist talk with @michaelkareken.bsky.social at the Minnesota Marine Art Musuem.

"If we are only peaceable venues pacifying the preexisting views of our publics or ourselves, then surely we are not educating."

“By layering environmental issues with social justice messaging, my art emphasizes our alienation from the environment and each other, our willingness to waste, and our subsequent need for healing.” — Erik Jon Olson Don’t miss your chance to see “Erik Jon Olson: Waste Not” mmam.org/erik-jon-ols...

Minneapolis Animal Care and Control is offering free animal adoption events every Wednesday through September thanks to a grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. https://www.minneapolismn.gov/news/2025/august/macc-adoption-event-fall-2025/

One of these days a smart fundraiser will write on why the wealth transfer never happens at large and why it’s been theorized since the early 90s. Health care and recessions every decade-ish are largely the reasons. Anecdotes do, generationally they don’t.

@olsenforparks.bsky.social good speech

ran into rep aisha gomez who is unhappy about having to leave the mayday parade for the ward 8 convention for the record, josh bassais’ campaign refused to move the convention

If you’re at a DFL convention, wearing throwback wolves gear with blue is like wearing a cooler band t-shirt to the band you’re watching
