Alright. So let’s quadruple it. Let’s go until Bezos sweats.

Jeff might be right; better go higher. Thanks for the tip, J-man.

Every time people cite construction as a reason for small businesses closing in Uptown, I think about how the Minneapolis City Council funded a $900,000 construction hardship program that Mayor Frey did not implement.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ This would have been support for small businesses in Uptown.

If Jacob Frey shows his pimply weasel face at Pride this year, he should be chased from the scene by people asking him questions about the conduct of the officers in the department he has absolute control over.

Heads up everyone, be careful. These look like really good value deals but they actually include Quantic Dream games.

The City’s own survey results showed the community found that Rise & Remember's proposal was most closely aligned with their values and garnered the most strongly positive reactions overall. 1/

“Speaker of the TN House Cameron Sexton just removed me and every Democrat — and therefore every Black elected official in the state legislature from any committee we served on," Rep. Pearson said. Fascist reprisals for protesting.

We need to stay directly holding Frey accountable for all the bullshit under his watch. Yes not just a shit mayor and shit person, he's corrupt.

More people need to ask ChatGPT for Risotto recipes.

Seven people died from poisoned Tylenol in 1982, and for more than 4 decades every pill in America has been sold in tamper proof bottles.

I keep seeing folks say it's been 12 years, but it hasn't. Gamergate was 12 years ago, but the harassment of Anita Sarkeesian predated Gamergate by over 2 years, the Tropes vs. Women Kickstarter was in March 2012. So it's even more pathetic. IT'S BEEN FOURTEEN YEARS.

Mel Brooks secretly funding Lynch and Cronenberg's æ 'brilliant but hard to sell' post-debut projects while not taking credit because he wanted audiences to take their work at face value w/o the distraction of "Mel Brooks means funny" is the purest thing that ever happened in the US movie industry

I wrote about why I quit my job, and how weird and tiring tech feels these days.

If we're not careful Minneapolis is going to be known for having sex while injecting yourself with drugs as you go over minnehaha falls in a hot tub water craft flying the Cuban flag. I need the city council to refocus on the important things before it's too late.

"Jonathan Ross, who was only placed on three days of administrative leave for shooting Good in the arm, head, and chest, is back in both an administrative and investigative capacity, facing virtually no consequences for killing an innocent woman in broad daylight." newrepublic.com/post/209615/...

this is the same type of posting they did when cracker barrel changed its logo

I just dug up my button from last fall. It’s very quiet in comparison to the shirt but it gets noticed (“what does your button say? OH!!! NICE!”)

Police: our job is very dangerous so we need a lot of funding and special laws that protect us from any accountability. We must be able to kill people if we’re scared Police when facing any danger whatsoever: hmm that’s too dangerous can’t do that. I could get hurt!

Someone was taken near 20th & Central tonight at 10 PM. Within 5 minutes, there were over 20 people on a call and even more people on foot in the area to respond.

“you talkin’ to me?”

Six former Minneapolis City Council presidents have joined forces to go after the current one. They span the political spectrum from friends of Jacob Frey to names nobody remembers from the 1970s. www.startribune.com/todd-barnett...

Well, today we're taxing the rich...

There’s been lots of news about the City Council voting down the appointment of Toddrick Barnette. This is a public memo from my office on the ways his leadership has missed the mark and what we want to see from the next Commissioner of Community Safety. lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/Fil...

This thread is incredibly funny yes but also it's absurd that for a show like Sesame Street, a show that emphasizes accessibility for everyone, this is how Tubi handled this rather than paying someone to manually do these.

@jchavezmpls.bsky.social is a treasure to Minneapolis. I’ve never seen someone more excited to use a pastry box to send a clear message.

Minneapolis saw eviction filings increase by 60% from the same time last year. @homelinemn.org correctly attributes the low eviction numbers prior to March to massive mutual aid efforts. Neighbors raised millions for rental assistance during Operation Metro Surge. buff.ly/sKBXfgs

Council members Vetaw and Rainville informed Mayor Frey they are not supporting Chief O'Hara's reappointment. This is surprising because the old adage is that Vetaw and Rainville would support a ham sandwich wearing a badge. Big blow to O'Hara's chances. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Tucker Carlson made it his life's work to loose this monster on the world so I don't care to hear his little face saving pieties right now, I don't believe a word of it

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

"school shooting industry" Uh

All of Minneapolis won’t tell you the truth. Council Member Shaffer and Council Member Palmisano voted against the $2.8 million in rental assistance. How is this effective policy? This proposal was proposed by the progressives on the city council.

15 years ago, I did my master's thesis on Harry Potter. In 2020, I threw out all my Harry Potter books. In 2023 (or 4, I can't remember), I burned the letter I had from JK Rowling herself. If I can let go of them, you can too.

Democratic senators: It's time to draw a line in the sand. A nominee for Attorney General will soon come before you. Make the confirmation process about releasing ALL of the Epstein files (without redactions) and prosecuting the Epstein class. (1/2)

Meanwhile, the Minneapolis Charter Commission is currently considering taking away *even more* oversight power from the City Council, undemocratically removing confirmation authority on things like Civil Rights, Public Works, and CPED: bsky.app/profile/josh...

So Marjorie Simon went on AlphaNews to say she's suing the DFL over our (required by state law) caucuses and conventions, saying simultaneously that they are exclusionary and violations of the 1st, 14th, and 24th amendments, AND that they are overrun by DSA members who are ruining the party.

At yesterday’s Minneapolis City Council meeting, we were unable to overturn Mayor Frey’s veto on our policy meant to give renters more time to pay rent. Our neighbors are still feeling the impact of the federal invasion of our city and state. 1/

Holy shit, every single aspect of this story is so tremendously infuriating. How many of these kids are there, forced to suffer?

Just the story of his name is one of the coolest things of all time
