The older I get, the more I love sitting down. Great feeling when you need a seat and then you find one.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE LOVE OF GOD GOES WHEN THE WAVES TURN THE MINUTES TO HOURS

I somehow got caught up in going drink-for-drink with some LiUNA guys last night and man, I wouldn't recommend that.

It would be stupid to plan a roadtrip that's just driving in all the northernmost counties of the USA all the way to the West Coast.... right?

I know some folks were asking for something like this (@meshm.bsky.social iirc) So I made a quick dot density map of the first choice Minneapolis mayoral results. This allows you to see two things that choropleth maps can't show... umn.maps.arcgis.com/apps/mapview...

NEIGHBROHOOD OFFER

I'm sorry about my posts and opinions lately. It's been over 16 months since I drove a car further away from here than Chicago and it's really messing with my whole vibe.

Officially endorsed franchise opening 🪵

Now that that's over we need to focus on the upcoming Night Mayor election

Elections are one tool in the democratic toolkit - yesterday it was voting, and tomorrow we will keep organizing. I am proud to have run this race with the support of @twincitiesdsa.org, and to continue building with my political home (Join DSA act.dsausa.org/s/3311.R6gRaz).

very disappointed to see michael wilson did not win for parks at large. he ran an incredible campaign and i thought he was the most exciting park board candidate with such passion and knowledge. did not expect this outcome

Quick! Get Weekend America back on the air!

If you’re in the fine city of Duluth this weekend, we are having Stump Party

Disappointed about the Mayoral race. It's been hard to break through to folks when the Mayor and media align to blame some sort of nebulous "dysfunction" on problems that are clearly Frey's alone.

Well, well, well, Saint Paul. Not so easy to elect a normal Mayor, now is it?

Just a fair warning: I'm willing to throw hands on here today over bad RCV opinions. I'm warming up, shrugging off that silk boxing robe, etc.

Would generally say that the Minneapolis outcome is on the high end of my expectations. The right wing had a lot of money and consolidation, but progressives didn't cede much ground and there's still a real shot at the mayorship.

I see a lot of you dipshits are operating without one of these.

Here are some numbers I'm hearing out of Minneapolis: 48 16.5 81 12

Actually, I don't drive the car of our nation's most famous murderer. There are a few differences in the trim packages if you look really closely. Vote for me to lead America's largest city.

[Taking a screenshot] okay now let's do a goofy one

Presenter: The game is called TransAmerica! Bluesky Crowd: *raucous cheering* Presenter: It's not about gender tho... Bluesky Crowd: BOOOOOOO!!!!! Presenter: It's about trains! Bluesky Crowd: *raucous cheering*

I know that some portion of this is just that I am now older and have more perspective, but it reminds me of how crazy the current gerontocracy is now that I thought Dick Cheney was a pretty old guy in politics and he was like 58 when first elected VP.

Good luck to everyone who is campaigning on their belief that a better world is possible! Jeers to all candidates promising orderly management of the decline!

I just got a Jazz Hampton ad on ESPN+???

The tortilla wanter on the zoom chat.

Pre-election day bump for the curious.

Daylight savings is nothing to me. Every week, I have many hours that I consider either missing or forcefully added into my experience of linear time.

It's election season in St Paul. Every few years the whole town gets together to debate the pressing political questions of our time -- Is a small business an autonomous nation? Do garbage cans have rights? If I'm rich enough, do I own the street in front of my house?

They used to have a really uncompetitive trivia mafia game on Saturday afternoons that I would take first dates to. Easy to win a $30 gift card and pay for the date!

Two and a half weeks before we head to Peru for two weeks.

Went to Bare Bones last night, took an edible and had an S-tier experience. I swear to god they had a band doing what sounded like GY!BE covers while I watched giant skeletons and animals defeat carceral boars.

Oh NO!!!

Oh God, Ben Brahmer

hell yeah brother

GONDOR CALLS FOR AID

Not sure what's wrong with the Cyclones right now, but something is quite clearly Wrong.

Best XP attempt of the season, after a botched snap Iowa State's kicker went for it anyway

Kind of a stunning movie in this moment, which asks how we can ever trust the character of men, when the violent past of American masculinity is forever seducing them by offering to resolve their internal contradictions.

Jacques Tati lives! @garyhornseth.bsky.social

Watching The Shining for the first time

gave out old Bluesky invite codes to trick or treaters this year. they set my lawn on fire and called me a bitch

If you need to buy dry ice in the Twin Cities metro, consider the one store that's made it their entire personality.

Bring your kids by my house for trick or treating.

These fucking Europeans just looooove to crow about how much holiday they get compared to us

If you're 37-42 American and this video doesn't immediately activate something within you, then I don't know what to say.

My preferred voting system is when a candidate with my exact ideological positions, who is also very handsome, runs against a dumb idiot who voters hate and who doesn't campaign whatsoever. All other elections are unfair and hide the will of the people.

To my elected candidate and campaign friends: I am deeply sorry I have not knocked more doors this year. I am truly in work hell this Fall.

NEW: @uniteherelocal17.bsky.social, which has had success organizing the Twin Cities' craft-beverage and hospitality industries, is accusing bosses at Indeed Brewing at intentionally dragging out the bargaining process with its unionized workers over their all-important first contract:
