Looks like my dad was helping with the stocking stuffers this year.

Santa subbing out Blitzen for Twohighsafeties

With ten hours to spare, I've finished the felted slippers for the niece

Going to Welch Ave Station later. Anyone need anything?

i had to drop what i was doing to make this

Hello, I wrote a big ass thing about property taxes. It contains personal details and so it's juicy. leaflet.pub/0588a2f0-b7a...

Jeanne is watching Deepwater Horizon (2016) with "Director's Commentary" (my 40 year oilfield veteran father explaining the realism of every scene)

Is there a way to silence "name changes" getting listed in chats in Signal? Asking for reasons that will be obvious to some.

🚨 northeast stay alert today 🚨

Greetings from WFH at the AirBnB in Nevada, where my dad has found a TV show that's about the Bogota Airport Security finding cocaine.

@eireannmor.bsky.social Abundant Number is a delight to hold in one's hands!!

You're going to WISH that the colorless green ideas were only sleeping furiously.

UOOATM

"AWS is down again. Get a rain barrel."

Are they the *best* Racket stories of 2025? Impossible to say. But they are our favorites!

Listen, mine is The Craft which could be bad (dead teens) or good (goth girls).

What's the weirdest thing you've gotten this holiday just to push an order into the free shipping price range? For us, it's this cocktail spoon

Not me. If you want to be the best, you gotta beat the best. Harper has three years before she's competing in the big leagues, and she best believe Lisa isn't going anywhere.

Went to PILLLAR last night for a beer and they had a cool emo show going and there were a lot of young folks there, and they were all pilling their coats on a table in the back like we would do on a bed at house parties. It was really cool to see how that space had grown and I'm glad it's in NE.

However good you think it feels to have ice in your moustache, you're wrong. It feels even better.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Making Seasonal Affective Disorder my entire personality until May

"Are you still going to call it the Kennedy Center?" This may shock you but it doesn't come up that often in my day-to-day

Update: got this instead

Came up with a good bit about how Metro Transit should post as though Skip Traffic is a malevolent presence and enemy of Metro Transit. "Skip has been banned off for smoking on the LRT." "All of our operators pass mandatory drug tests. That's why you'll never see Skip behind the wheel again."

Still extremely funny that the University of Minnesota has buildings called both Anderson and Andersen and they were nordicpilled enough to think that people should intuitively understand the difference.

Anyone have experience/thoughts on the Duluth Trading jackets? Thinking about one to replace my busted-ass Carhartt jacket. Open to recommendations. I'm not really a layering for warmth guy. More of a 👏one👏big👏coat guy.

mods are asleep post rare stubs @mplsnightmayor.bsky.social

Discourse is bringing up a good question: what do you think your posting HAS tangibly affected? For me I count the following wins: - Stump Party - partially responsible for increase in the "Come to X if you want an asskicking" format - free trip to Winnipeg - pronouncing this website as "bloosky"

This is $12.50. Never forget what you had, Dinkytown.

Twitter sucks but I shan't get caught up in concerns over user count, or Bluesky this versus Twitter that... I don't care where my posts go, I just need to post them for some reason. If they found my skeleton on an island they'd see a sheet of bark (?) with "dick stuck in frond" scrawled on it

Who wont me

when the server delivers breadsticks to the table

Being a good-natured doof who likes to party is one of the most important skills for building community

totally forgot to mention but you can get 18% off a purchase of $40 or more with code JULEKATTEN Also if you are local to me (Mpls area) I’ll be at Odd Market on the 28th! Marvel at my amateurish display setup and watch my neurodivergent clown ass try to make small talk

It costs $0 to retweet this photo of Sy Ableman on the cover of Wife Magazine

Letting that magazine get in on your Friday Mindset is a rookie error, but forgivable. Just gotta keep it moving.

"No one should ever be fired under socialism" is the offspring of the anti-work childishness that scoffs at the idea that production and labor are real challenges for humanity that we have to solve, and not just chores being handed down by our capitalist parents. Grow up.

Goddammit, Bahn Appetit is closing? This is great news for my health and horrible news for every other part of me.

*whispering* "it's a cyclone state"

lol holy shit

Just called the Sentyrz butcher on the phone to custom order ham loaf and can't recommend it enough. I'm truly maximizing my brand value.

Knitting slippers for my niece and I realized I fucked up a major section 20 rows back and now I'll have to frog the whole thing because I'm not smart enough to pick up and read my old stitches.

There's snow on the ground, lights are going up all over town -- that's right folks. It's Ham Ball season.

I also think defense attorneys are bad, but for the morally correct reason (antagonism toward anyone who attends law school).

Not sure if I'm just lazy swine, but even with the E line opening, the 17 only running every 30 minutes after 9:00am and 6:30pm is kinda a deal breaker for feeling like transit is a good option to commute to campus.

Shameful that this has more reposts than the Auschwitz cake. Do better, bloosky.
