Reminds me of this 1910 postcard, depicting St Paul as the "center of the earth"

This is why the Winged Wheel represents Saint Paul

Saint Paul

I helped plant a seed last year at work. It grew into a bakery.

My current batch of foster kittens was an absolute nightmare to wean but now that they are they'll eat anything meaning the org bosses have seen fit to just give us a dragon's hoard of the stuff nobody else will eat.

Fascinating map from Peter. Basically this maps says if we did a Land Value Tax, green would have taxes go down, red taxes go up.

Hats off to Rusco for getting $490 million dollars over their skis. If I did that they would put me in prison.

64a and 47a Specials will take place on Jan. 27 with primaries Dec. 16

When the Kmart was torn down, sink holes opened up in a pentagram formation 1/2 mile away in every direction

The CVS has 15 days to live.

The CVS on Snelling and University hired a lawyer who used to work for the city council on the DAY of their hearing.

When that CVS it finally torn down, the only rational next step is building Spruce Tree's mirror on the other side.

Well. Obviously disappointed in the mayoral results and the pessimism it belies but I moved heaven and earth for admin cites and I put my back way in to Yes for Kids and I’d be a fool not to recognize those steps forward.

To my friend Dick Cheney - rest now, brother. We have the watch. And I'll see you in Valhalla.

Melvin, Yes, Yes.

Saint Paul, please vote yes for SPPS!

TOMORROW: MELVIN YES YES

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?

Mayor @melvincarter.bsky.social shows up for St. Paul — fighting for families, expanding opportunity, and making sure every neighbor has a fair shot to afford their life. I’m proud to endorse him for re-election. St. Paul, make sure you vote for Melvin by 8pm tomorrow, Nov. 4th!

Go vote early today at Ramsey County Elections from 8am to 5pm. Be nice to the volunteers. Ask for two stickers so you have one tomorrow.

Four Years, Four Stumps

Gang. If you’re in politics is okay to feel crazy right now. We’re 4 days out from an election with stakes and it’s the first one in this Trump era and we’re all feeling pretty “HRNGH” about it all. Just take a beat before picking a fight and ask yourself “Do I want this smoke?” Out loud.

Vote Yes for da kids.

Kaohly knockers gotta wrap their lit tighter. It’s the final week. Tight rolls. Cmon now.

Indeed workers have been fighting for a contract for over a year. Support them and send a message to Indeed management telling them to settle a fair contract! actionnetwork.org/letters/inde...

My brother does not have any children and I am like Maximum White Boy and I am still Funky Unky Tom to like a dozen children. Politics is so stupid.

I happen to think that because MPD shot his god damned eyeball out Soren gets as many years as he had the eyeball added to his residency.

The Crawls I attended including the preposterous 2014 event were all mayhem. I had an absolute nuclear blowout with my ex at one. I remember the attempted bus tipping as our prompt one year to pack it in. Always a thrill. It’d start so silly an earnest then 9pm would hit. Pandemonium.

If we keep this up, St. Paul might be a real city someday. minnesotareformer.com/2025/10/27/c...

Me & @melvincarter.bsky.social Thank you to @mauratwit.bsky.social for this joke

Hey @tmoz.bsky.social @charliestdennis.bsky.social @tombasgen.bsky.social , there's a bridge brigade being organized for 10/27 over 35E on St Clair Ave. at 5 PM. If you could help let folks know, it would be appreciated.

the Geo Tracker is like an elf from Tolkien, it magically travels across freshly fallen snow, not in it

It’s been 7 years since I’ve owned a car but some days I hear the sirens call.

I don't get to work on 'fun' things a lot at City Hall but sometimes you get to help open a bakery and it feels amazing.

It’s Friday

At some point this year it got into the zeitgeist of more conservative political spaces in STP that the city should make decisions by "Community Survey." Which is a good idea that we already do and they're called elections.

Absolutely bleak and hilarious choice. Grove probably felt a swell of bravery saying this which is hilarious because Andy is literally just old Norm Coleman’s right hand. That’s not bravery you’re feeling Steve. It’s nostalgia. See a therapist.

St. Paul! We've finally got an annoying Attack PAC in our election called Saint Paul Future Forward working for Rep Kaohly Her's mayoral bid. Names attached are Haley Cobb and Chris Haas who I vaguely remember from my time in Walz-land and state stuff. assets.ramseycountymn.gov/files/2025-1...

Community advocates are texting me with polite thank yous for my advocacy. Friends are texting me shots of my own face aggressively zoomed in on different parts.

Hi, excuse me. I'm interested in your policies but I think the thing that would really sell me is if you can zoom in on Tom's big ol' noggin just a little bit tighter. Like, really crop it in close. Thanks.

I can’t keep track of what people are mad about anymore

The Bad?/Good? Tattoo Man is none of my business and probably isn’t any of yours either.

Anyway, here’s the Facebook post, without needing to go to Facebook: leaflet.pub/f28a24f1-e30...
