I don’t think I’ve ever been there outside of the hours of midnight-4am

I’m really glad Xp Lee won. I wish he hadn’t had to run.

I am once again asking for CUTE black cat Halloween decor not SPOOKY AND MEAN black cat Halloween decor

Whole lotta people finna learn today that this isn’t Zach Galifianakis

I know everything feels like so fucking much all the goddam time, but this is such a crucial point: Collective action to apply pressure still gets shit done. You might feel like "just" 1 person, & that's because you are— but physical crowds & values-based movements are made of individuals, together

A lot of somewhat quiet conservatives from my life that I had missed blocking before came out of the woodwork today; I guess this was my generation’s guy

I'm really having trouble processing the relative silence from Barack Obama about a colleague who he'd hosted at the White House, the Minnesota State House Speaker, being assassinated, but rushing to get out a weepy statement about Charlie fucking Kirk.

*Slaps Minnesota’s roof* You can fit so many trans in this bad boy. Move over hotdish, we’re all about hot dolls now (along with hot mascs and hot enbys).

It would rule if she was in the senate

Angie Craig missed the 1st day of the MN State Fair because she was the opening act for Eric Trump at a GOP Crypto-fest. When she made it to the fair she decided to court GOP voters that hate her by bringing cookies to their booth. Wild campaign choices from someone who wants to replace Tina Smith!

The best part of any State Fair is when somebody gets to learn that Dan Patch was a horse

Is he wishing Keanu a very happy 61st birthday

Starting a rewatch of Breaking Bad. Will provide smartass commentary here.

"I watched Snow White when I was a kid and I ain't gave a bitch a poison apple yet." is an all time bar

Doomers: The 2026 election doesn't matter, Republicans are just going to rig the whole thing anyway Various red state republican incumbents: I'm just going to quit now because if I run in 2026 I'm going to get absolutely killed

It’s Grant Hauschild. One of the bills is literally requiring owners to store guns locked and unloaded. This feels like common sense. Here’s his number: 651-296-1789 Here’s a link to email him: www.senate.mn/members/emai...

When “today it happened here” hits The families are from your ecfe The kids are from your Covid bubble You’ve taken portraits for families You’ve been to the kids parties You’ve coached these kids And you wait for confirmation of safety Because we might be safe But we are not ok

Thinking of all you parents today. What an impossible set of dangers and fears this country has given you to bear.

One of my great joys in life is giving away flower bouquets from my garden. I bring them to the dentist, to hostesses at restaurants where I have reservations, neighbors, friends, everyone. Would it be crossing a boundary to bring a bouquet to my therapist?

Ope

the thing I love about Zohran’s campaign is that instead of “this place fucking sucks and I alone can fix it” his message is “being a New Yorker rules, we live in the best city in the world, let’s make it even better together” show some damn pride in the places you want to govern

I hope one thing leftists all take away from Mamdani’s campaign though is that it doesn’t matter how chill and wholesome you are, the dinguses are going to smear and trash you in increasingly unhinged ways anyway, so you might as well shoot for the moon and campaign on what makes your heart sing

Two days left to support Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman’s senate district while also beautifying your world with plants. Please consider supporting if you’re able 🩵 www.sd43dfl.org/get-involved...

im always taken aback by just how much cis people will humiliate themselves to be dicks to trans people. like sorry, youre confused about pronouns? how did you make it thru 6th grade english you slimy dipshit? why are you going on podcasts to advertise youre too stupid to understand simple concepts?

I’m so excited to finally be able to vote for @cedrickfrazier.bsky.social 🤩

Support Brendan’s Fight Against Stage 4 Cancer gofund.me/43c1f978

Cedrick has my full support.

There is nothing as cursed as the Amazon commercial with a male voiceover saying “Brace your urethra for turbulence” 😖😖😖 literally who tf approved that

I’ve had a lot of anxiety following Mark & Melissa Hortman’s assassination and the shooting of John & Yvette Hoffman—to the point where I’ve resumed seeing a therapist weekly. I’m not ashamed to admit that it’s been scary because it is, objectively, terrifying.

Sus quote in a story about this week’s weather 🤔 I think if you have an exact number, by definition it’s not too many to count? www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

I am especially concerned as I am dealing with a parent whose mental acuity is declining. As you age, you're going to want your cognitive capacity as strong as possible, and offloading difficult research and analytical tasks to robots are not going to be good for you down the line.

They waited *more than an hour* to enter the Hortman home after watching Mark Hortman get shot in the doorway Unbelievably tragic & heartbreaking And, of course, they publicly congratulated themselves on a great, lifesaving police response when they’d let a lawmaker bleed out. Uvalde is everywhere

For those who don’t have that lying statement handy. It is appalling that the author of this holds elected office. Again, see if you can square this so-called “summary” with the violence we know the police actually inflicted on George Floyd. Police lie. All the time.

Reminder that the mayor of New Hope is LITERALLY the guy who issued the lying media statement about George Floyd’s murder. www.newhopemn.gov/city_hall/ci...

Jacob Frey’s challenge to the DFL endorsement process is frivolous. His bad faith attempt to discredit the Minneapolis DFL is meant to distract from the fact that he didn’t have the votes to block endorsement. Today I submitted this Code of Conduct complaint with the DFL:

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

Ozzy going out after raising $190 million for sick kids and a Parkinson’s cure is metal AF.

reporting for duty

Periodic reminder for people who hate the phone: You don't have to convince your rep (or the staffer answering the phone!) of anything. All you have to do is say "I'm a constituent calling to urge the congresswo/man to vote against the senate budget bill. Thanks." Now make the call!

Several trees or partial trees down in my neighborhood after the storms last night. Saw a few more heading to brunch. We “only” lost a ~6” diameter branch about 20’ long from our large tree.

Up and at em (in the basement)

Minnehaha Falls during a flash flood warning in Minneapolis this afternoon

This chart is absolutely essential. It explains why Trump removed America from the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2018. Because it was *working*. Trump needed a cause for war, so he manufactured it. This has all been in the works for some time now. He was never "weighing options."

I am begging people not to look to the NYT for coverage of what's happening. The BBC, Le Monde, Ajazeera and others will have more truthful coverage.

Impeachment now. This is not a legal gray area - this open defiance of our constitutional system.

All because of his embarrassing ass parade with a squeaky ass tank

If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.

"Think" is worth the price of admission to the movie. It's spectacular.
