Holy crap, RIP

Democrats are so great at eating their own

kinda wild that, on top of everything else, the shutdown deal still left us with $500,000 gifts to 8 GOP senators and the gutting of the hemp THC industry

My kid got pulled into gaming at Venn Brewing in South Minneapolis. Nice to pop up here for coffee. Although I am going to take home a four pack of that maple concoction and share with my neighbor.

I re-read the fine-print mission statement of the rebranded The Minnesota Star Tribune and it has an unmistakable "Get in, loser, we're going digital" vibe.

Kudos to Downtown Improvement District for not blocking the Hennepin Avenue bikeway when emptying trash cans!

Not for nothing but this is also immediately next to one of the most vibrant Mexican neighborhoods in the cities

REALLY hate this new thing in the #BigTen where they don't announce a game time until the week of the #Football game. I really hope the #Gophers game for #PaulBunyansAxe vs the #badgers is a day game. Such better atmosphere that way.

#NowPlaying Hüsker Dü - "1985: The Miracle Year" A cleaned-up bootleg of the Dü's live appearance in Minneapolis at the beginning of 1985, which was a helluva year for them. It captures the energy of the bad very nicely. Not nearly enough people rate them. huskerdu.bandcamp.com/album/1985-t...

#CheapVinylHacks Issue 7: Hey pal, know who you need to make friends with? Your local rekkid store owner (this one’s David Foley of Record Spot MPLS). They deserve your money more than the corporations, and they’ll keep an eye out for the stuff you like. Plus: way better stories. #Vinyl #VinylSky

In Minneapolis they're probably still in sandals and shorts In Atlanta, full-on blizzard gear Am I right? ❄️☃️

Armistice Day, so some WWI memorials 🧵 to be constructed throughout the day in an echo of the slow pace many memorials went up at 1. Indiana War Memorial in Indianapolis. This one's among the grandest of US WWI memorials.

Had no idea Tim Kaine was still in office (or alive, actually). He's the less-noticeable @klobuchar.senate.gov and somehow manages to do even less than her too.

Oh hell no
