Got my mail in ballot today! That’s it, that’s the news.

also boosting for today, also stolen yesterday during the car break ins by powderhorn park in Minneapolis

Good morning.

Who else is biking to the Minneapolis tree pickup this Friday?

Super cool to start off my day with a can of Baja Blast exploding in my bag, soaking everything. I am not, in fact, having a blast right now.

I saw two separate cybertrucks today; pray for me

Damn you Scalzi, I did it.

Saturday project complete. Bringing some love back to Lake Street!

I love that people are running all over the neighborhood for the LOLA art crawl - but please don’t park in bike lanes you guys, come on. It makes it so much more unsafe for everyone enjoying the crawl not in a car.

It is with great honor to have the support of State Representative María Isa Pérez-Vega. I am excited to continue building together.

OH MY GOD THEY’RE DOING IT

I just got this flyer at my door and I SWEAR TO GOD YOU GUYS HAD BETTER NOT. I have had a BAD WEEK and if you starting banging pots outside next week I will fucking LOSE IT.

Finally decided to get an iPod, maybe it’s time to put away the Walkman for good.

Wow - woke up to a lot of love on this, and multiple folks offering to pay for more. Honestly - I really just want to get the city moving on this; they can’t leave basic infrastructure to crumble for years! I hope the attention raised gets them thinking of temporary solutions in situations like this

Yo @racketmn.com long time listener, first time caller how do we light a fire under the city’s butt here.

Had to ride past these three solar lights after the rain to see how they were doing. If the city gave me a grant of like a grand I bet I could do the whole stretch from W River to Minnehaha.

THIS IS CORRECT. Absolutely the Park Board needs to raise parking fees, and work with Metro Transit to improve park access by transit.

Question for the Bluesky hive mind. We have some big letters that are plastic on the outside either foam inside that were vandalized. You can see how they were connected before - so my question is: what’s the best adhesive to reconnect these? I was gonna use liquid nails?

To check if you are on Minnesota's list to automatically get an absentee ballot for each election. I suggest starting with the one link everyone should remember, mnvotes.gov, selecting the "check your registration" tool, and looking which of these responses you get.

Early voting starts this Friday - does Becka live in Ward 12 yet?

I need to find my old CD of Today’s Empires, Tomorrow’s Ashes, because the “reissue” that’s on Apple Music has a bunch of weird changes.

A 228 unit apartment building at the former CB2 at 31st and Hennepin (Uptown's Seven Points) is scheduled to begin construction this fall. The last piece of financing will be tax increment financing ($6.2 million public subsidy) approved by the city council's zoning committee today.

The murals under Hiawatha have started going up, and they look like they’re going to be stunning.

Finally remembered to eat today

Is it just me, or do new books cost way more nowadays?

Thanks, I hate it

Thought I was on the wrong mailing list for a second.

This Shepard Rd detour is such a wildly indirect route, dang.

Showed up drenched in sweat, carrying a backpack and bike helmet, and was offered a parking voucher. Uh.

If you find a $5 bill on Charles Ave, that’s mine, I dropped it.

As the person who updates all the devices in our household, I’m still recovering from the new Photos app reactions. Not excited for how Liquid Glass is gonna go over.

We’re such a weird country sometimes

Riding up Ford is always such a mess, I hope they can continue to separated trail up past Cleveland in the future.

Got a haircut today, and without warning the barber buzzed the inside of my ears with the clippers, and I’ve never been as offended or felt as old as I did at that moment.

👀

Should I put up the second solar light

Does the B Line have wifi??

Hey @racketmn.com add a Bluesky link to your emails please, not that I ever click these things but what if I did one time?

Is it weird that my kids English class lets kids listen to audiobooks of the class reading assignment novel (provided they “follow along” with the book), or am I just getting old and curmudgeonly.

I mean I own a pressure washer should I

Glad that the 38 is upholding the important 23 tradition of being super, super late.

This is such a highly specific sign.

Someone put up what appears to be a mostly AI-text website for Hard Times and I don’t know why but that’s very funny to me.

Photos app doing some interesting stuff here.

Update - I showed this photo to his vet and she told me to get pet insurance for him, based on how many foreign object removals she’s had to do.

The sigh I just sighed

I gotta get him a little bowler hat like a tiny 1920’s gangster.

Taco Tour on Lake Street is an opportunity to stand with our small business owners and immigrant community, enjoy our amazing cultural heritage in Mpls and meet new neighbors, and of course…have some amazing tacos.

I will never get over being able to download 50GB in 15 minutes; I used to leave our phone disconnected so it wouldn’t interrupt my overnight download of a song.
