Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

Thank you, I will definitely pass the message along to Squeaky Fromme and John Hinckley Jr. and whoever else.

The cat goes berserk for receipts. Can’t get enough of them.

Iran has figured out they can keep the strait closed and not get bombed for it by texting “think we might have a deal” to a different Trump world dumbass every day

The real scandal is prediction market companies circumventing the state prohibition on gambling apps. Not the state senator trying to ban them, who signed up for an account to see how it works, placing small bets on himself winning an election. www.startribune.com/minnesota-se...

The Minneapolis tulip house is back in bloom. Lisa Stortz, the previous owner of 2444 Humboldt Ave S., died in 2025, leaving the future of the beloved garden in question. The new owner, Patricia Plourde, is carrying on the tradition.

"Can I have some [ibogaine], please?" is one of funniest things Trump has ever said

The Instagram algorithm searches for me in the back rooms, in the dark places. It hears word that I passed down an alley, took out a room at the end of a hall. But it arrives and finds nothing

Per new analysis by @emberclimate China's solar exports in March were a whopping 68 GW, DOUBLE the previous month, and equivalent to Spain’s entire solar capacity, surpassing the previous record set in August 2025 by 49%. Yow! […] [Original post on mastodon.energy]

More than 20,000 people nationwide volunteer as part of the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network, or CoCoRaHS. And the Minnesota Climatology Office is hoping more people can join in the effort. All you need is a 4-inch rain gauge.

The mods have been savagely bludgeoned into submission by my post. All future UI changes will be run past me personally, complete with b-roll footage of me looking thoughtfully at different printouts and pointing while people around me in puffy vests nod

Mr. Pope, please put on this white mask and white kevlar vest, and clip on your custom gold assault rifle. we’ve rigged up a custom unmarked rental popemobile to drive through red lights in at 55 mph in a school zone. so yeah I think you’ll see you’ve kiiiinda misunderstood our mission objective lol

Worth mentioning that Matt Stoller’s biggest heroes working today who he’s done the most to support—like Lina Khan, Liz Warren, and Zephyr Teachout—are basically all women

Don’t ask me to explain why but I think the best prohibitionists have a somewhat troubled relationship with the thing they’re seeking to control

Rescheduling will quickly drop prices for state-legal recreational cannabis: the Controlled Substances Act section that bans companies that "traffic" in Schedule I drugs from deducting any business expenses does not apply to Schedule III drugs. Those costs currently get passed to customers.

Another satisfied customer! Great thread of bikeways, some old, some new, but fitting together (almost seamlessly, a couple gaps in here) into a cohesive and useful network.

Minnesota Wild players deplaning like 500 feet from people in shackles being stuffed into ICE flights:

The number of Republicans crashing out about getting nakedly gerrymandered is, unironically, a sign that we need to do more of it. You guys are correct! This shit sucks! Welcome to the party, pals! We can all stop doing it any time you like!

“Looking back, you and I and everyone else who supported him… I mean, were implicated in this... It’s not enough to say ‘oh I changed my mind,’ or, like, ‘oh this is bad, I’m out’… You and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now.”

An immigration officer in southwest Colorado who was caught on video grabbing a protester by the hair and hurling her down an embankment last October was charged with assault and criminal mischief on Tuesday, the local district attorney said. nyti.ms/4cYcXpF

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

If Iran wants its future threats to re-close the Strait of Hormuz to be seen as serious leverage vs a future US administration, it's going to be tricky for Tehran to reopen the Strait before we see more acute—and truly undeniable—economic harm than we've currently seen realized.

70 Minnesota children. Delta Air Lines, who likely flew nearly all of these kiddos out of MSP, could publicly condemn this and end the practice tomorrow, as the airlines did in 2018 with family separation, but it’s easier to stay silent.

Maybe we'll keep some InfoWars content up.

As seen in my one-year update on closing "Missed Connections" around Minneapolis:

"And then I closed my eyes, and I said, wow, there's, like, a whole—a big, beautiful world, in my head. A beautiful thing of colors. And then a long time passed, maybe 100 years, a big time, and then I opened my eye and I said 'wow, you're all still here?' and they said sir it's only been 5 seconds"

Everyone being like “oh I bet the plane will crash into Persepolis, I bet Usha’s divorce lawyers will be waiting on the porch of the Naval Observatory—“ shut up. Just shut up. This guy is a clutch player. A paint player. Put him under pressure and see what happens. Be the one to make that mistake.

I saw this creature slinking down by the metal piping factory on the river in Marcy Holmes maybe 15 years ago, same low lighting like this, and every few months since it’s visited me in my dreams

Happy Bicycle Day! Please enjoy my ongoing and surprisingly robust list of every location-appropriate bike rack in Minneapolis:

The right sandwich, at the right moment, can change the world

“In 2025, 31 people died in the custody of ICE. In 2026, the count has already reached fifteen—and it is only April. Nearly every one of those deaths, as with nearly every death in ICE custody, would have been prevented with adequate medical care and humane treatment.”

Breaking News: Todd Lyons, the acting director of ICE, said he would resign at the end of May.

I love that some people file their taxes on April 15. “Oh shit taxes are due today!!!” lol. That is downright debauched

Hell yeah State AGs!

The DOJ abandoned this case mid-trial in an attempt to sandbag the state attorneys general it was working with (including Minnesota). State AGs just overcame huge odds and won big.

Network effects in physical infrastructure? Couldn't happen Wish we had this problem in Longfellow+Nokomis. Vast majority of the cycle infrastructure in this part of town is for sport/leisure (which is nice! just, you know, not getting people out of their cars).
