Risonya the cat is the mascot for Resona Bank. He appears calm and intelligent, but he can be clumsy and surprisingly prone to tears. He tends to get absorbed in his own world and often finds himself alone. Thus, he is single and inexperienced in romance.

When viewed from certain angles, the Uptown Little Caesars isn't strip mall chain pizza, it's an authentic local Italian restaurant located in a preserved scenic pedestrian alleyway.

This benefits a neighborhood school where more than 70% of kids were in hiding at the height of the ICE occupation.

none of the occupations are over

I hope your day gets better :/ and the speed bumps quickly fade into your past

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

Bloomington is a highly diverse city that includes, among other things, the Mall of America and a lot of airport-related businesses like hotels. Cooperating with ICE is not only unethical, but potentially devastating to the city's economy, by driving vital workers underground.

JFC There could never be an easier case for impeaching a president. The fact that impeachment & removal is universally acknowledged among the political class to be impossible is the clearest possible sign that the constitutional order has collapsed into some form of dictatorship.

The Midwest, in this sense, is not simply a story of what has been lost, but of what it takes to hold onto a place when the systems and shared identities that created it no longer exist.

Listen to Charles Schulz, in his own words. This shit is a literal affront to what he believed in and his craft.

After a trough of relatively less activity, that is fewer people calling me for help, I'm back up to 10 active habeas cases. I do not want to cause anyone undue alarm, but ICE has changed tactics and seems more likely to detain people when they go in for routine appointments with ICE.

A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed so far, we're already past the halfway mark on our campaign to upgrade the Trylon's digital projector to *LASER 4K*. We're asking for donations through May 15th, at which point we're going to pull the trigger and buy this thing. trylon.org/4K

Jacob Frey refuses to cooperate or even negotiate with Council. Is this a principled stand to protect to poor, beleaguered landlords of Minneapolis? or just another symptom of Council Derangement Syndrome. who knows! but it's the renters of our city that will pay the price

i love the nba but it's not a sport. any physical competition held indoors is not a sport, it's "horsing around," a category that also includes hockey and many baseball and football games. nascar's place in this discussion is unknowable as no one is certain of whether being in a car counts as inside

Something we don’t address enough is how many people, especially adults, do not have a working imagination.

why do so many people dislike jacob frey they must all be online weirdos

I think Speed Raced truthers would loooooooooove some of the chroma key liminality and CG maximalist minimalism of Nobuhiko Obayashi’s anti-War trilogy and Labyrinth of Cinema!

I was at Walker library in Uptown Saturday (children and families were inside doing library stuff, seemingly unafraid). The county appears to have sawed off the stone bench that used to be fixed to the wall at the entry.

70 Minnesota children. Delta Air Lines, who likely flew nearly all of these kiddos out of MSP, could publicly condemn this and end the practice tomorrow, as the airlines did in 2018 with family separation, but it’s easier to stay silent.

Our community continues to face an extreme housing crisis cause by Operation Metro Surge. Recent reports by Homeline show that eviction filings are up by 18% in Minnesota compared to this time last year. I am proud to bring forward an extension of the 30 pre-eviction notice period to 45 days.

Only thing I love more than watching HEAT is talking HEAT with podcasters who come slinging HEAT The rare movie where you think everything's been said about it before, but a podcast can only crack a fraction of the film (shoutout @kransekage.bsky.social for making this an excellent guest tag team)
