Ok time to respond to a text that I am not sure *how* to respond to and then go to bed. Tomorrow we continue on.

Shits creepy as hell. Even knowing this sort of thing existed before its creepy that they just come out and say it.

One thing that I am being forced to admit about myself is that at my core I am an idealist. I do believe a better world is possible and I do believe in dreaming and aiming big.

And something I wasn't expecting to come back around today certainly did anyway.

I am not familiar with bad bunny's music but that was a dang good half time show.

Me, who has never downhill skied in his life: ski jump looks straightforward

I don't want the half time report, I want bad bunny

Big drop from the initial results for Amy but I feal like she'll still call it a resounding win. I can say that unless someone else gets in the gov race won't get any of my energy. There are races where people I believe in are running at the city, state, county, & federal level.

I wasn't gonna go to Costco today because I have next Monday off but also 2.35 a gallon? I just might.

Cocked and loaded

Whatever happened with that armed protest thing today that was totally not something else?

I see people saying mpd when it's actually state or county. It's important to show that this is happening at all levels: city, county, state & federal. And to hold those leaders accountable. Accuracy matters.

I could maybe do summer and winter Olympics.juat need a month or two to get in shape.

Rob lowe doing ads for some app store game.

Once I clean up after dinner it's either #svengoolie, an old James Bond or Godzilla movie, or just wasting time some other way. This really didn't end up as an either/or

One of the reasons I am *begging* everyone to stop using “Minneapolis” as a synecdoche for the entire Twin Cities metro area is that leads to inaccurate reporting like this. These are Minnesota State Police, who are under the command of Tim Walz, and this is not happening in Minneapolis.

Getting ready to book my tickets to @artsmia.bsky.social and realized they will be on "young adult night"

I have a surprising amount of intoxicating beverages in my house right now.

Prometheus was around for a long time.

At what point will the u cut ties with this guy?

Let's see if I remember to charge my gym headphones when I get home.

Oh man, seeing a rumor that headflyer is going to close and the new dangerous man will go in that spot? Hoping that rumor doesn't come true.

Ok, its Saturday. Lets make an #Agenda so I feel like I accomplish something: * Gym * Groceries * Meal Plan * Tidy * Finance * Light pucks * Outdoor lighting ideas * Meatballs * ? I am sure it will grow.

Looking at resume trends and its fascinating. People are using AI to write their resumes so the AI system then parses it better.

Oh man the @trylon.org has some winners coming up.

How is it that I used to stay up til 3-4 am?

Sitting on my couch eating handfuls of peanuts: I Could be an Olympian.

Wait, wasn't the last Fast and the Furious movie supposed to come out like 2 years ago or something? I already saw the first half on an airplane.

These graphics are too realistic. We should have known back then that gaming would cause problems.

ITs remarkable that Angie is at least trying to go to Whipple when @amyklobuchar.com won't

When I went through legal observer training (Again recommend it because you never know when that will become your lane unexpectedly) a thing that was brought up was "We are the ones we are waiting for" If not us then who?

I think about these a lot.

Time to hit the hardware store, gym, liquor store, and pick up an order. Happy Friday.

In the bikemn email today they linked to @naomikritzer.bsky.social a year without sunshine which is a fantastic read and also helps tell you where MN is at. Community strong and won't quit. But also we're kind tired. Or at least I am.

In a word where Nazis weren't part of the equation the klob would be running as the blue dog democrat she actually is.

I don't often wear shirts with designs so it's not clear how often I'll wear the "fuck ice" shirt I bought from bench pressed but the number won't be 0 and the profits go to help immigrants.

The light on my garage was flickering some so I go out and take a look. Of course it appears to be an integrated led. So the option is to go without or replace the fixture. For now we go without.

Snagged a ticket to see @sugarcopperblue.bsky.social this September at first ave. Good to have something to look forward to.

His chemical romance involves tear gas.

A thing I have really noticed this week is how many fewer school busses there are. And the ones I do see out and about are almost completely empty because the kids can't go to school.

I had honestly forgotten Jensen was running again

Took a bit of time for myself tonight and went to the Walker Art Center's Dyani White Hawk exhibit that's on view till 2/15. Great exhibit, really enjoyed it. If you get a chance, it's worth it.

So republicans are willing to meet the demands of MN. Nice.

I'm so sad this is happening during the month I don't drink. Go drink hamms for me.

Once again cardio helps my mental health

I could be trusted with a giant mecha.

It solves zero problems, in fact it makes many existing problems harder. It also creates whole new problems because all the hardware is, you know, in space.

I can't speak for tomorrow or for the rest of the country, but I feel like I can confidently say that here and now, the hatred of ICE's ham fisted immigration enforcement is roughly as popular as petting dogs.

We can go ride bikes and grab a brew

Maybe its because I am in MN but this is on my mind right now: In my life there have been a few times when change seemed possible. 2008, 2020, 2020 again. And Now. Each time the government managed to prop up the system either through shitloads of money or promises that went nowhere.
