I'm still upset at Carter's handling of Tarek Tomes (now state CIO). Carter appointed Tomes to his office, replaced him with a project manager who had zero experience leading people. My entire team was gutted for no reason, was still best team I worked with. www.twincities.com/2018/06/04/h...

They tear gassed the city council VP, shot the press, and did all of the above to civilians while he witnessed

St. Paul police used tear gas and pepper spray Tuesday as hundreds of demonstrators confronted them and dozens of federal agents on the city’s East Side.

Seattle grunge band Pearl Jam helped pay for the Two Harbors Youth Hockey Association’s new Zamboni.

The number of people who replied in earnest, gods this app is full of the most humorless people on earth

Shoutout to the person who yelled “Marjorie Taylor Green is resigning!” in the theater lobby after Wicked. I don’t even know what to make of that

I need to sit down with Jon Chu and discuss his choices

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”

I will not listen to As Long As You’re Mine before seeing the movie I will not listen to As Long As You’re Mine before seeing the movie I will not listen to As Long As You’re Mine before seeing the movie I will not

It's official. On a 9-0 vote, Marcy Park is dead, long live Dinky Park.

Trying every bit of wordsmithing I possibly can to avoid writing about the Gulf of Mexico when describing the Mississippi River because no way is “Gulf of America” making an appearance in my dissertation

I need "Stats are down but he played great" to make it into the lexicon.

I can never turn on a normal Stars game this season, it’s always the wackiest shit I’ve ever seen

This is the wildest last minute of a regular season game I’ve ever seen

Jason Robertson have a WEEK

No one because Kyler Murray was supposed to go to my school but moved to Allen in middle school for football and I had to watch him kick my team’s butt every year instead

So far, Atlanta is the only city with a team in both leagues. Both call themselves “Atlanta’s professional volleyball team.” *Maybe* two is sustainable but I have to guess one league will get swallowed by the other at some point

MLV and LOVB both announcing Minnesota teams in the same week with the former locking down an arena already is…interesting

Finally got around to the Lily Allen album and 1. Still queen of the diss track I see 2. Didn’t know David Harbour sucks that bad, wow

Techy people: my old router/modem wasn’t compatible with new provider and reached the “end of service life.” Is it less wasteful to try to give it to someone whose internet might be compatible or go straight to electronics recycling? I don’t know what “end of service life” practically means here

I wish companies would put their actual location in job postings instead of saying “Minneapolis” when they’re 20 miles outside of Minneapolis

Is winning a raffle at a baby shower like catching the bouquet or

“It’s going to come to a point” it already has. Multiple tennis players, both men and women, have had stalkers show up at their tournaments or hotels this year, some explicitly because of betting

And this is all men…talk to women athletes about the messages they get and it’s so much worse

Anyone know anyone who actually got Hayley Williams tickets because I’m only hearing horror stories

Huge test of my personality today that I’m relying on someone else to get competitive presale concert tickets for me. Learning to let go and trust the powers that be

No aurora luck in my neighborhood tonight. The sky looks more of a bright blue than last night, when it looked black at this time. Maybe that’s something, but long camera exposure isn’t revealing any new colors

holy shit you guys look at the zamboni at my local hockey rink; the arena manager reached out to Pearl Jam for a sponsorship and got it and now we have a JAMBONI ZAMBONI

Because aurora is back out, a few things I learned last night: A couple blocks make a big difference. Even a few feet. If you can’t see it, turn to face every direction or walk a block more. It changes quickly. Popping out once and seeing nothing doesn’t mean you won’t see it in a few minutes.

Yelling at my cat to sit still for the long exposure

Now we can see it out the window!

Never thought we’d get aurora like this in Marcy-Holmes, just a mile from downtown. The last photo is without long exposure, we walked outside and then wham, red in the sky

Another installment justifying my annoyance at everyone telling US scientists to “just move to the UK”

Love that they’re hitting Dallas this time!

Most of my neighborhood having peak fall color is really not helping me feel like we’re already a week into November

Are soccer leagues the only ones who have consistently come up with good team names among US leagues this millennium?

Thank you Vancouver for bringing back regionally-relevant animal team nicknames

Welp, they’re voting on it in May. Going to be a super interesting exercise in voter mobilization

The duality of Plano is finding out I can now take DART from DFW airport to a stop within two miles of my parents’ house on the same day the city council is voting on whether to hold an election to withdraw the city from DART service

The Canucks' Diwali logo is pretty sweet.

One of the all time greats. I have a Jason Garcia poster in my childhood bedroom.

Now that it’s official, I’m so excited @jason4parks.bsky.social is going to be my commissioner 🥳

Doing a little Mississippi Masala celebration watch and it’s incredible how much diaspora films/TV regressed in the 2010s and 2020s. Never forgiving the Mindy Kaling self-hating model for setting us back like this

Last municipal/mayoral election people on the left spent months tearing each other down & apart for their voting, volunteering, running, & donation choices. It created lasting rifts in our movement & keeps us all down. I will not be participating in this at all.

It’ll be 24 hours of Bad Take City here, can’t wait!

If nothing else I’m looking forward to a better park board

Damn. Omar did pick up way more 2nd choice votes, but too many voters ranked Frey 2nd. I definitely thought it would come down to the 3rd rank (and it nearly did, just a few hundredths of a point too many) vote.minneapolismn.gov/results-data...
