Closing any business on a Friday is tough, but closing a bar on a Friday during Dry January? Mad respect Wes. Everyone go out and support @blackhartstp.com the other 6 days of this week.

Welcome out-of-towners!

Thanks for this @walkingminnesota.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wavj...

I mean

Succinct and accurate

It's hard to imagine all the trauma inflicted by the federal government on this neighborhood/city/state, and yet here they are, resilient as ever

Seems about right

I picked this up from Rough Trade for $2.99, and it's fantastic.

‼️Our relatives cannot shelter safely outside due to ICE escalation. MIWRC offers a culturally grounded low-barrier sanctuary; services, warmth, food, safety, & support obtaining tribal ID’s/documents. This is survival. This is sovereignty. We take care of us. Help here: bit.ly/Healinglight

At a beer release tonight and somehow got on the topic of the Presidential Physical Fitness Award. Of course I had to refresh my memory when I returned home and had no idea regarding the history archive.ph/fiBGB

In a dog walk around my Minneapolis neighborhood, 14 degrees but feels like 7, I encountered three people in high viz vests patrolling, 2 people heading to a meeting of local businesses, too many anti-ICE signs to count and children happily sliding down a steep hill of pure ice.

Hey Minnesota. I know things are dark right now. But May Day will come again. Peak fall in Duluth will come again. Walleye season and canoe season will come again. The Fair and People’s Pride will come again And they will be all the brighter. No one let go of anyone’s hand.

This is fantastic. Thanks Ashley

I made it into a website now: www.standwithminnesota.com

made some updates to the list. if you want to give to a gofundme, the ones in spanish are getting way less than other, and they are asking for much less

keep thinking of this @jumaane.bsky.social quote while seeing regular people line the streets of minneapolis to protect their neighbors.

Saw more of these today, seen on Lake Street in Uptown Minneapolis. Person walks past large wheat pasted posters of Renee Good that read: "Renee Nicole Good" "American Mom" "Murdered by ICE"

I love this so much. Artist Noval Nior painting a life sized portrait of Renee Nicole Wood, to honor her life at the memorial in Minneapolis. Such a beautiful tribute 🥺✨

You know who doesn't need immunity? People who don't commit crimes

Please support the wife and son of Renee Good as they grapple with the devastating loss of their wife and mother. gofund.me/9e987aead

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

God bless you, Renee

Just want to personally say thanks to Calvin Jones who is retiring from @parktool.com. Your guidance has been invaluable. Your videos will continue to inspire and coach thousands of bike mechanics world wide. I appreciate you and wish you a find farewell. Happy trails Calvin.

It resonates with the voters that think the medal count of the Olympics is more important than the games themselves. So yeah, a lot of them

Psst: Mary Lucia at StP University Club on Feb 3. Free. Thanks, Subtext Books.

An important point in @evanrail.bsky.social book "The Absinthe Forger" which I like to teach my brewers: a recipe without process is a grocery list.

I was thinking about this today, and it's no accident and absolutely amazing that Matthew Sweet had 1) Robert Quine 2) Richard Lloyd 3) Ivan Julian playing lead for him at various times. Basically the triumvirate of the early NY punk scene

Chuck Klosterman’s writing is always so interesting to me. Tom Brady Is Not the GOAT www.nytimes.com/2026/01/04/o...

Everybody at your party They all look depressed Everybody dressin' funny Color me impressed

They also have really strong opinions if your bike is more than a $35 model from Walmart

Imagine, if you will, a world filled with Pumpkin Spice Malört

I spoke with Yoko Ono on the phone. It reached a point where I couldn't think of what to talk about and I actually said "Nice talking to you, but I have to go" 🙋

Dennis Christopher dubbed me "the Lost Cutter" on Twitter when I posted a picture on him in the bike race scene from Breaking Away with me in the background, circled. I was an unpaid extra in the film.

It’s not just the US and the UK: the EU’s beer consumption is now below 2019 levels — and falling. Meanwhile, new regulations on labeling and packaging are likely to hit small breweries the hardest. What’s at risk? Part of European culture. vinepair.com/articles/eu-...

I have no idea how old this is, maybe @chrissteller.bsky.social or @djgloverepair.bsky.social have more info www.youtube.com/watch?v=UntP...

Conclave Selects First Chicago-Style Pope

That's a lot of plows

This is a gem of an episode!

Oh, hi @jalaffler.bsky.social

NBD, just found a school lunch recipe book from 1988 openlibrary.org/books/OL1534...

Pour one out for Jim Moylan

163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

Also, have fun flying.
