Minneapolis still using shot spotter? Over here I remember Mayor Carter called it a “Toy” and we all moved on cause the ACLU said it suck’s.

I keep coming back to this piece by Erik Noonan on Summit. Like duh, Tom agrees bikes are good, but there’s a part in the middle where he explains our Special Assessments policy accurately and fucking NOBODY get that right. It’s crazy. www.twincities.com/2026/07/16/c...

It didn't occur to me until just this very moment that there's no way Ezri Dax should've ended up on Deep Space Nine. She was still figuring her symbiote identity out and you toss her into a station with her (former) grieving husband and her (former) best friend—to be their therapist? What?!

I helped open the new Hamline Midway Library today and what a uniquely kick ass experience.

I have decided I am ready to own a motor vehicle again but only this one:

i spent a couple years off of most social media platforms — came back Online during Operation Metro Surge to share my reporting — but the lesson i took away from that experience is that (surprise!) the best way to know what's actually happening is to get outside and talk to real people

I downloaded an app just to make this silly picture please clap

im done talking about crackers named graham for a while

nothing like getting some light reading material from @tombasgen.bsky.social while waiting for my haircut

@metrotransitmn.bsky.social any reason why your 3:02pm bus 83 just shook his head at me and blew past me while I’m standing under the stop?

A truly reversible belt would be one you can make back into a cow.

We should invent a kind of canceling where the guy goes away

This is the most amazing little story!  You won't believe what a customer had stuck in their car! 🙀  Safe to say they brought it to the right people...

Primary Election 2026: MN State House, District 65B. naomikritzer.com/2026/07/07/p...

The correct opinion on Graham Platner has been, and remains: I am a Minnesotan and am focused on my own work.

You can vote early to find some succor from the barrage of advertisements. Whether or Not you voted is public information, so campaigns use that to not target people who have already voted.

The City Council has been receiving form letters for weeks from anti summit folks. A prominent line, written by Richard Arey, proclaims: “Myth 4: SART will eliminate the danger of bicyclists being “doored.” FALSE! Getting “doored” almost never happens but wide bike lanes make it even less likely.”

MacGrove Facebook group had to delete a post about whether or not Boomer is a slur. It is not. Just so we’re clear.

Here's the thing. I think the person who invented 'personal pricing' should get the same treatment at Prometheus. Giant vultures rending the organs from their flesh. Their body regenerated each dawn to be rent asunder again.

Mine just showed up this way. @racketmn.com

The Alito Whoopsie obnoxiously illustrates perfectly good reasons Journalists catch so much shit when one of the most venerable gumshoes of our era just spontaneously gaslights herself into a complete fabrication.

The type of person you think you want on City Council would never subject themself to a run for $79k. The type of person you actually expect to be on City Council would never subject themself to a run for $112k. Every great Councilor is a flagellant. Born2Suffer.

Working for Councilor Jalali for years, people would call her Councilor Yang despite the fact these women are different colors! They do it to CM Yang and CM Kim now and I’m gonna start handing out Block in the Hole puzzles to transgressors soon.

Every poll should start with a question asking “Is it weird to have an opinion on [TOPIC]?” And if it gets 1 vote over 20% of responses the whole poll is just trashed. I’m not saying 50% because poll participants are already baseline weird.

The only reason polls show people disliking the flag is because it is a completely manufactured drama and the only people with an opinion are people who wanted to be mad. The prevailing opinion about the flag is “Oh right. States have flags! That’s weird. What’s ours?”

The Minnesota flag process was initiated by a high schooler, passed by the legislature, had an open submission for ideas from the public, and was chosen by a board with representatives of the general public. They must have forgotten to drive out to Gravelpit, MN and consult you before moving ahead.

"We need more public input!" is such a loser complaint. At least put your chest into your opposition. You never hear "I don't agree with the decision, but I think there was sufficient public input, so I'll go along with it" and that's because no one truly gives a shit about process, only outcome.

Holy shit, lmao

Another thing a policy of “Everyone must work 2 years in a restaurant” would solve is food and fitness influencers. So many people just don’t know what cooking or food involves and they also can’t comprehend that you can get pretty seriously fit when you walk 10k steps a shift and nothing else.
