Remembered that my bud @kevinmcclean.bsky.social has an unreal comic collection and now I've got my hands on the Uncanny X-men Compendium Vol 1 🤑🤑🤑

Happy Pride Month.

Once we deal with all the other social problems, the revolution is going to circle back to the "ordering food with a QR code" issue.

I've been a little surprised by some of the breweries that have closed this year, but I've been even more surprised by some of the breweries that have stayed open.

Happy Monday, bozos.

Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and Lakewood (Ohio)... what a set of hometowns! Don't miss it this Wednesday at the @blackhartstp.com! Free and fun. tcsidewalks.blogspot.com/2026/05/your...

San Antonio and New York City are finally gonna put it all on the line and determine which city makes the best salsa

Cheers to the freakin weekend

Went to the crow picnic and no one knew you.

56 Brewing is being forced to demolish their amazing patio and I’m going to need @racketmn.com to do some investigative journalism on this immediately and tell us who is responsible so we can direct our rage accordingly. 😭😭😭

Garfnut

Personally, I think many of my best tweets are still ahead of me.

"DFLers! Thank you for making democracy happenby spending this beautiful day at a convention!" *crowd cheers, candidate checks poll numbers* "...but you're all out-of-touch party elites" *crowd boos, candidate looks startled* "...who I'm counting on to get out there so we can win in November!"

Vertical scrolling video is just the most humiliating shit in media history. Humiliating to watch, should behumiliating to make. "POV: You're an elder millennial with ADHD who was a pleasure to have in class" I'd rather exfoliate with lye.

BEANS

I love places like this, stores that are older than the brands that would otherwise sue them. Nevada, IA has a restaurant called "Starbuck's" that sells a good pork tenderloin and GREAT soft serve.

I'm not sure I really have an opinion of the running mate pick by Klob that isn't downstream of my general opinion of Klob. I will, however, happily point out that any of your favorite DSA-aligned Minneapolis city council members have represented twice as many people as the Fergus Falls mayor.

Hi. My EP "Vernal Pools" is live: stonecirclempls.bandcamp.com/album/vernal... If you like ambient, new age, dungeon synth etc.. you might like this. Thanks.

Teaching my daughter and her anemic boyfriend how to skip stones

I’ve got good news…….

I bring two depressing heavy doom albums to the vinyl night at the local pub. The whole bar groans at my bullshit.

BREAKING: Janice, last surviving member of rock group Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem, disavows any connections to 250th anniversary concert promoted by WH 👇

Me: "...and as I got closer to the light, I saw all my family and friends that had already passed away, my dog Sparky. An overwhelming feeling of love spread over me like warm sunshine." The urbanist who has been hiding in my ICU room: ACTUALLY, YOU JUST LIKE HEAVEN BECAUSE IT'S A WALKABLE COMMUNITY

I don’t want to overstate it but I have been shown the funniest website I have ever seen

Bums me out thinking about how little we're trained to expect from the leadership class of this country. Police chiefs can't be expected to move their entire family for a job! University presidents need to also serve on corporate boards! Congress people have to do insider trading to make money!

I should keep some Q-tips in my office, for when I get to work and suddenly become very aware of my ears.

putting this here: MSP people, I'm teaching a workshop at MCBA on June 27. Would love to have you join. And also, maybe let's find a way to get a bunch of us in a (non-paying) room and make something together on June 28 mnbookarts.org/events/and-y...

Taco Bell Spicy Potato Soft Taco

Many are calling it the Shirt of the Summer... PRE-ORDERS ARE LIVE!

cant find a screenshot but old classix tweet - @DinkMagic: if u have a shitload of money you can buy a special other house by a lake with shittier versions of all your stuff and go there to eat chips

I have no positive feelings about going to lakes.

Year of the Bean.

Year of the Bean.

Honestly, why even sell this with the sleeves? It's clearly destined to be a cut-off.

Coming soon to the Racket merch shop... limited run 👀

I don't think it's realistic or desirable for the Minneapolis left to have a police chief that we support, but I do think as a bare minimum we should require someone who believes in democratic oversight and civilian government, and I don't think it's obvious that O'Hara cleared that bar.

BREAKING: brian o'hara has resigned as the chief of the minneapolis police department o'hara was due to face the city council next month for a confirmation hearing to reappoint him, the same process community safety commissioner toddrick barnette has now failed twice

Changed the string on the stringtrimmer, put down some mulch, watered everything what needed watering. Now drinking a beer and trying to do some writing. Ain't all bad out here.

I actually hope this place becomes even more of a caricature of itself. I love it here. I believe that True Bluesky has not yet even been tried

last night i dreamed i was picking up beans on the sidewalk. deep muted purple, with white specks, like scarlet runners but as big as a silver dollar. "look at these beans," i remember thinking. "from just one bean i can grow countless hundreds"

Subscribing to and reading Racket is like a cheat code to meeting cool people in the Twin Cities and finding cool things to do. If you are new to the area, or are in a moment of transition in your life, truly can't recommend it enough.

BEAN FACT: Beans have never done Bluesky discourse posting on a beautiful summer day.

Locking in for the Year of the Bean.

Average Girlfriend Opinion

So far in my 40s I've bought a larger, more rigid case for my android phone and thought seriously about whether I would look good in a bucket hat.

Come to Wisconsin's highest point if you want an asskicking.

Year of the Bean!!!

Okay, but let’s not get in the habit of shaming people for posting too much.

a memory that has resurfaced unbidden but demanding acknowledgment: I once saw John Elway absolutely crush his son at Arctic Thunder, that snowmobile game, at an ESPN Zone in like 2003. He had a security detail surrounding him while he rode the plastic snowmobile and he was cold as hell at it

if you are in MN and have notes, scraps, photos, noticings, spreadsheets, text threads, redactions from the past six months, I want to include them in #AbundantNumber #7: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
