Being completely sincere here: if the Democratic Party's takeaway from Mamdani et al is that they should get into neighborhood organizing, doorknocking, and focusing on politics outside of elections it will be really great for the country. Genuinely hope this happens!

My mother in law left us some absolute bangers of vinyl records. Now spinning Pet Shop Boys "Please"

Really coming down out there

I'm back on my bullshit (going to the Twins ticket office to get paper tickets)

I don't want to intrude upon Pride month but I gotta ask. Does legalizing bathhouses in mpls mean we can finally take off these disgusting swim trunks in the saunas here

In the market for new shorts. I really love the rebooted Grammici shorts but already own two pair. Also already have Patagonia Baggies. What shorts are everyone rockin' these days

Wild thing? I think I love you! *woof*

Need I say more?

@mplsnightmayor.bsky.social what's your old post about vinyl records from the 70s being unbreakable, lightweight, incredible sounding, and having 13 songs on each side vs. today's records

Tag yourself

[Guy in a Polymarket shirt being way too loud at the wedge live cat tour] BRO I love that PUSSY

Now reading: Recommended to me by a friend in my book club who knows how much I love spy stories where extremely stupid things happen

It's fucked up that "spendthrift" means the exact opposite of what it sounds like it means

Is there a good explanation for why everything has at least 4.5 stars on Google Reviews? You could click on literally any Subway and there are 6 people like "This is the absolute best meal I have had in my entire time on this planet!"

WFP as the junior partner of the coalition MUST release the vote totals

Klara and the Sun.... an understated, eerie story of alienation and restrictive social mores... thats right get fucking Taika Waititi to direct it. Good job hollywood

nick's tip of the day: subscribe to a lot of magazines using those little postcards that give you an introductory offer. and mail them a paper check. that way you're not on any "auto-enroll" payment plan

This video has gotten me through more shit in my life than you will ever understand. essential viewing

I would love to have one of this style of hat but it says something kind of menacing and dread-inducing. like "Maybe You've Been Wrong All Along" or "Trust But Verify"

three times this last year I drove downtown, paid for parking, and walked up to the venue box office so I could get physical tickets to the concert and avoid ticketmaster fees

Fellow boy dads: It's time that we call off the dogs on girl dads. I was once in your position. I was team boy dad all the way. Then I became a girl dad AND a boy dad. And let me just say- I regret my previous statements. It turns out that being a girl dad *is* really something. #FathersDay

Maybe my favorite year of Dead shows? Perhaps it was the coke but everything has this jaunty energy

I think if you are (like me) concerned about declining American social life and its broader impacts, then you have to take WFH seriously as an input. That's not to say five-day RTO is the solution—flexible hybrid schedules are the way to go—but we should be more honest about the real tradeoffs.

it happened to me: i "put the baby down while drowsy" and she actually fucking fell asleep. i thought this only happened in movies

Given the number of youth athletes who have collapsed from heat exhaustion due to our nation's insistence on Sportsball At All Costs, I think it's actually..... kind of nice that it's cooler???

My wife and I have been slowly watching a bunch of pre-"prestige" era HBO/ Showtime programs like Nurse Jackie, Six Feet Under, United States of Tara, Big Love, etc. Really interesting to see these networks trying big things before there was a house style to these kind of shows

It shows our history and we shouldn't change it just because some unelected bureaucrats are worried it's not politically correct.

The dads of Minneapolis are going viral with "The Vest." The iconic flag of Minneapolis, known worldwide, was put on a 100% wool vest by a local activist. Scratchy. Warm. Pairs well with office formal attire. Now Minneapolis bluesky can't stop posting about "vestmaxxing" and "going vest mode."

This book is kookoo bananas, I am enjoying every page.

I desperately need a corncob pipe in my life

is not gonna write you a love song, 'cause you asked for it, cause you need one.

newborn daughter seems to be enjoying the dub show on NTS

This is incredible. Apparently, Dolly Parton started a service where you can get children's books delivered monthly. The coolest part? It's only $14.99 a month!

Hearing rumors that the DOJ is saying they are "for real this time" and are "going to work really, really, really hard" on getting these charges to stick. One official said "our team is going to give 110% out there."

I worry a good amount that RFK Jr is polarizing liberals into being against public health positions like "eating potato chips is bad for you" or "there shouldn't be industrial pesticides in our food"

I have given up trying to impress anyone. can't really do any spicy food in general. I am at peace with my midwesternness

now soliciting suggestions for my playlist of rock songs that feature a piano doing constant eighth notes open.spotify.com/playlist/37r...

This style of social media post feels like a breakthrough in communicating on a mass platform. No wall of text, no glamorous picture, nothing attractive, nothing edited: here is the shit in my brain and the shit I am eating, shit that I am. The early internet pioneers would be proud.

I would be so good as a host on radiolab saying "Wait, wait..... what?" to people i'm recording

I got swept up in the moment last night and need to apologize. I want to clarify that the Vikes are not, in fact, gonna get it one day

Twins blew it

i really want to wear a necktie and jacket more often but I truly can't think of many contexts in my life where it's appropriate

no way

My most lib opinion that everyone will hate is that stuff like this is OK to good, we should want our elected officials to be able to do stupid shit like this together, and we should also want our officials to do corny things that celebrate regional culture and fashion

We're killing it today

not-really-conspiracy-theory I've come to believe in: you are seeing whey protein get put into all these different snacks and drinks and shit because Americans don't drink milk like they used to and the dairy lobby needs to keep demand up somehow

We should revive the union staffer group chat on here that was 30% shitposting and 60% unsolicited awful selfies from like three people in particular
