City officials say the corp’s abrupt change in position comes as a shock, and could derail the city’s timeline to get a long-term solution in place as soon as possible.

Catching up on the Olympic ice skating Gala while I wait for my next flight, and the pairs skaters from Georgia skating to the Mortal Kombat music is so fun! 😂

A week ago I found out that the grant I was confident would fund our spring mural will not, bc we're 2 blocks too deep into Kensington. This STINKS. This project rocks bc it's community driven, biodiversity-focused (& more! read on!) We're raising money to make it happen givebutter.com/KenzoMural

LOVE THIS 💗

Watching the women’s free skate and crying happy tears for Amber Glenn. What a great routine! I’m so glad that she had a better experience than her last skate.

Missed Hourly Comics Day. Doing my make-ups today.

Watched the replay of the men’s big air final - insanely good skiing! The top three were essentially 3 gold medals, and all the winners were thrilled. It was a pleasure to watch!

How awesome for Georgia! First ever winter Olympic medal!

Beautiful skate by Hungary!

Wow Japan! That was unreal. Everyone is crying - skaters, coaches, me. What an amazing performance.

I love all the plushies at the Olympics. Chan and Howe are sitting in the lead seat with a stuffed avocado. 😄

Dinner on the couch tonight so we can watch the rest of the pairs free skate replay!

We remember today!

So happy to catch the last round of women’s big air skiing while waiting at the dentist. It’s nice when all three medalists are so joyous and a great run by the Italian skier for the bronze! ❤️

Watching the Olympics multi-view - pairs short program, men's big air qualifier, and hockey. The first pairs - Armenia - got things off to an amazing start! Also, loved their music. I hope everyone does their best today.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

It just happens that back in 2014 I made a bunch of Winter Olympic Lolcats. Let's have a look!

Turns out the Dunleavy/Dahlstrom administration is falling over itself to make it harder to vote in Alaska. #akleg #akgov

Watching the ice dancing free skate replay, and the songs are all so serious and dramatic so far. I miss the fun, 90s songs and energetic pace of the rhythm skate. I love it when ice skaters and gymnasts choose upbeat music for their routines.

A big benefit of watching the Olympic replays (for me) is that you can choose “venue feed,“ which has no commentators. I like appreciating the athletes’ amazing talents and not having to hear about every tiny error. It’s still obvious when someone has an extra outstanding performance, too.

I wrote my final book review column for the Washington Post a while back. (I didn't know it was the last one of course.) I was worried it might not even run since the book section is ending, but thanks to the heroic efforts of editor Jacob Brogan, here it is: www.washingtonpost.com/books/2026/0...

We put on an all-Yiddish community production of fiddler on the roof in Philadelphia and cast member and local artist Sofie Rose Seymour created the most amazing show poster that ever was

Join us this evening at the Alaska Robotics Gallery for an interview with Lisa Weissler, who authored an excellent book on the history of oil tax policy in Alaska. It's a topic that deeply impacts the lives of every Alaskan.

Everyone's struggling & the world's on fire so I'm sorry to ask, but I need your help again. If you could donate and/or share my Go Fund Me campaign, it would go a long way to helping me pay for increased costs for my breast cancer treatment. Details in my update. www.gofundme.com/f/help-r-s-a...

Hey folks! Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.

It's not just "stand up to ICE when you see them," it's building many vast networks of support and trust to - create safe spaces - protect schools - get kids TO school - check on neighbors - deliver groceries - help pay the rent - let people know of danger - feed the helpers, too! - and on and on

My husband is working with a group delivering groceries to families from an overwhelmingly Hispanic school in Mpls. He will be buying groceries this Friday. $350 will finish covering their food needs for the week; if he raises more he will buy TP/laundry detergent. Venmo: Edward-Burke-MSP.

Music helps me cope so I’m putting together a playlist to help get me through this year. I’d love to know - what songs are helping you cope or speaking to the moment for you? A few of my initial choices are posted in the thread. 1/6

The date for the next No Kings Day is set. But this is a save the date, not a “sit back and wait.” 🧵

Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

"The number of downloads...surged by 529% after Mr. Mamdani’s news conference" "there had been 3,000 people on a waiting list to access a limited number of e-book copies" "2,000 people applied for a library card over the weekend, roughly twice as many as had applied by this time last year" A win!

@wxpnfm.bsky.social hitting it out of the park this morning - way to go Mike V and @kristenkurtis.bsky.social! I was especially happy to hear Trip Shakespeare's "Snow Days" as I was out shoveling my driveway. I needed these small joys today.

Did you miss out on your last opportunity to bankroll the fully stocked pop-up leftist supply depot?? Do you want to send free hand warmers, winter gear, first aid supplies, YOU NAME IT, to the Twin Cities? This is your moment. Let's ride. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... (non 'zon in follow up!)

I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

There are a lot of men out there who do not see any of the logistics happening around them and they're like "wait, where the fuck did these hand warmers come from?" Look at every kid wearing mittens, and that's your answer. From the people who have been silently keeping hands warm for centuries.

tomorrow, StandWithMinnesota.com will hit a million site visits and over 650,000 unique visitors. i made it 10 days ago with $600 from you guys for hosting and cloudflare. thank you. thank you.

Juneau came out for Minneapolis this evening. Maybe 250 people under a light snowfall.

Join Juneau standing with MINN at a Peaceful Protest today 1/25 4:30pm at the Whale Statue. Bring candle/flashlight, songs and determination to stop what is happening in Minneapolis.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
