Happy solstice! We enjoyed the longest day and shortest night of the year with soccer, bike rides, sangria, savory s’mores, fireflies, hammock naps, and friends around the fire.

Mamdani giving a speech at the Knicks victory parade and Obama giving a speech at the opening of his Presidential Library on the same day is the BARBENHEIMER of oratory, it's MAMBAMA

While you're at it, think about sending a note to the event sponsors. It's extremely disappointing to see Saint Paul Parks and Recreation on that list. bsky.app/profile/fole...

Hey Saint Paul bike folks! Did you see this?: bsky.app/profile/fole... Boycott the Classic! The organizers are against the Summit Avenue Regional Trail! Spread the word! @saintpaulbike.bsky.social @melissawenzel.bsky.social @tombasgen.bsky.social @patiomensch.bsky.social

I got an email from the Saint Paul Classic today, and was excited to sign up, as I am most years. But, while browsing the website, I noticed a "Stop SART" tab. How disappointing! Go to bikeclassic.org/contact. Tell them how hypocritical is is to use the Grand Round while advocating against SART.

Hey Minnesotans: May I suggest that if you are enjoying the World Cup, you also not miss out on the absolutely ridiculous soccer happening in your own backyard courtesy of Minnesota Aurora? 9-0 and have not given up ONE SINGLE GOAL yet this season. Our last home game is Sat afternoon. Come.

Fundraiser for the 15 folks in Minnesota indicted yesterday for anti-ICE organizing, from a vetted source: chuffed.org/project/1865...

Some of my photos from tonight’s rally at the courthouse

I’m headed down there in about a half hour. Stay turned for my pics and videos.

Outside of the St Paul courthouse, protesters are fighting with agents. The feds are now charging 15 people with impeding immigration enforcement in Minneapolis- under the guise of "antifa". As an aside- in LA they have failed to obtain guilty verdicts in most cases brought against protesters.

ALERT 🚨 Federal agents are being seen across our community as they arrest observers. Let me be clear, alerting our neighbors about ICE activity is not a crime, observing is not a crime, and loving your immigrant neighbors is not a crime. 1/

Plain language!

The backlash against datacenters is very encouraging. Now, I need folks to connect their hatred for datacenters with the digital content they're creating and consuming nonstop. Let's all work on making our digital footprints smaller, so fewer datacenters are needed. sustainablewebdesign.org

I never realized how out of touch I was as a car-free person until everyone starting posting pictures of gas station signs on social media without any context. Are those numbers supposed to mean something to me? #carfree

What a perfectly cloudless day to capture energy from the sun with my rooftop solar panels!

Hey Twin Cities Tacos! Don’t park your food truck illegally and block a stop sign and a crosswalk at a busy intersection in front of the Capitol. If you want a good parking spot for the lunch rush, you need to get here by 9am, like all the other food trucks did!

gmail disabled spellcheck unless you let it do it's AI "smart features," which is pretty sneaky and mean. Anyone have a workaround?

It’s 1995 all over again. And somehow it’s also 1955 … and 1984.

Just booked my appointment with Carlen at Lowertown Tattoo Co. for a badass rebel loon tattoo! @lowertowntattoo.bsky.social #rebelloon #mn #tattoo #ink #iceout #starwars #andor

Congrats!

"Tell Kristi. I want her to know it was me."

It's great to see a former Loon at the tip of the spear in this labor battle! Thank you, Connor Tobin! #mnufc #StandUpForStandards #Solidarity #usl

The first match I ever attended at Allianz Field was the one where Vito Mannone saved a PK in stoppage time to preserve a win over Dallas. Before that, I never thought I'd be a soccer guy, or that my wife would be into any sport at all. But, now, we're both top-tier Loons fans! Thanks, Vito! #mnufc

We're sending our love and support right back down to Austin in the face of yet another senseless gun tragedy. Our hearts are broken for you - you are not alone.

Love to see it! #mnufc #oalaal

After an emotional winter in Minnesota, it felt lovely being back at Allianz Field for the Loons home opener. We have club seats this year! I posed with the I-35 Cup in the Wonderwall and spotted a new “Once a Loon, Always a Loon” display in the concourse. Plus, our rebel loon tifo was a hit! #mnufc

Which one should I wear today for the Loons home opener?! #mnufc

It would be sweet if Tani put one in the net in Barcelona this weekend! #mnufc #oalaal

Mike Lee really thought he cooked with his initial post. trib.al/WvEPaf0

As visiting @mnufc.com fans, we were overwhelmed today by the solidarity displayed by @losverdesatx.bsky.social supporters. They waved Minnesota state flags during their march, wrote messages on one, and brought all the flags up to us in our section. Thank you! #fuckice #mnufc #austinfc #classact

Fit check: New season, new drip! #mnufc #coyl

We have friends everywhere.

Can’t wait to get my four jerseys done when I’m back in town!

Fun morning in Austin!

Made it to Austin. Here’s the view from our hotel room.

Let’s go! #coyl #mnufc #oalaal

This week, we're tracking 11 former Loons involved in eight matches. We're got three CONCACAF Champions Cup matches on the docket, including one with three former Loons. And if he hadn't been red-carded last weekend, we could have seen Arriaga face Tani this week. #mnufc #oalaal

This weekend we tracked high-stakes FA Cup battles, physical Argentine Primera División clashes, and even a stoppage-time own goal forced by a familiar face over in Scotland. We have you covered with a complete roundup of every former player who took the pitch over the weekend. #mnufc #oalaal

Happening now on 50th Street in Minneapolis. Lined up over a ten block stretch.

You know anything about this, @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social?

Today I removed the Target logo from the front of my brand new Minnesota United FC jersey. If you love the Loons, but are boycotting Target and can’t stand to wear their logo across your chest … and have a hand steamer, you can do it too!

Not sure if you’ve been following the USL labor dispute, but it’s not pretty. And now, I’m learning that a former Loon is heading up the fight for the good guys! Once a Loon, always a Loon, and Solidarity Firever! #labor #solidarity #mnufc #oalaal

In January 2007, I got to sit in the front row to see "Pan's Labyrinth" at the Palm Springs Film Festival. Writer/Director Guillermo del Toro took the stage for Q&A after the screening. It wasn't released widely in the U.S. until later that month.
