Everything in this thread. All of it.

As an adult, are you still friends with anyone you knew in junior high?

This government is doing gutter racism and it should horrifying America-loving Americans.

What the local media is missing is that Nick Shirley isn’t an “independent influencer/journalist.” He’s a paid propagandist being spoon fed stories by a dangerous right-wing propaganda machine that uses so-called influencers who aren’t beholden to any standards of transparency or accountability.

🧵Spending last day of 2025 doing “paperwork” to file for bankruptcy. I cannot get out from under the medical debt that has hounded me since 2020-2023, when I had a carotid artery dissection & more brain/renal aneurysms were found, leading to a diagnosis of Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) in 2023.

2025 was so dreadful that by the end of the year the city of Minneapolis website was written like it was 1999.

The first 3 words you see will define your 2026. Pizza Boobs Travel Same as it ever was.

[when it's the twenty-seventh] Kevin: Looks like it's the twenty-keventh!

There is no reason to ever make or buy any Bloody Mary mix when Zing Zang exists. Call me a basic b if you want, but my little St. Louis “hosier” heart will always be satisfied with a Zing Zang Bloody Mary, spicy Rotel cheese dip, and some French Onion dip (aka EffOhDEEEE) any day.

As was foretold ... "Come Christmas Eve when Spruce Tree Centre do rise on pages calléd front, Four Horsemen as prophesiéd are about to pull their stunt"

Never forget this truly important moment in history.

Complete silence once again from @amyklobuchar.com, our senior senator.

Ope. Just another Strib story that normalizes and legitimizes state power and authoritarianism. Here they are “aw-shucksing” Trump and Lindell and treating election denial as a personality. Imagine instead: “Trump signals support for election denier Mike Lindell, testing political normalization.”

O’Hara/Frey’s copaganda campaign also exposes the media’s failure. No one has asked the most basic question: "When officers observe conduct that may constitute felony assault, what is the required process for opening an investigation—and why wasn’t it initiated here?" www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

CBS really Bari'd the story huh.

I just remembered this guy I was “science class friends” with in high school who called me “Molly Who Cares,” and I’d say “Who Cares?!” really exasperated teen-exaggeratedly to make him laugh during lab. He left the Phil Collins CD with “I Don’t Care Anymore” on my desk as a joke gift one day.

Its also just words from O'Hara, NONE OF IT has been proved with ACTION yet. He can talk and talk and talk all he wants to make himself seem human, but he STILL has not released the reports on Davis Moturi shooting, Mariah Samuels Shooting STILL under consent decree & not in compliance there.

MPD assisted ICE at 29th and Pillsbury. I saw it with my own eyes. They created a pathway and controlled the public space for ICE to kidnap our neighbors. The silence on this has been depressing.

The way people are praising O’Hara—including progressives—says so much about how we’re conditioned to expect below the bare minimum of humanity from cops that their bare minimum is seen as “powerful.” But this isn’t about humanity. It’s about the MPD worrying it still won’t be able to solve crimes.

I spend *so much of my day* looking for things I set down somewhere or didn’t put back in their “original” spot. Today I have wasted maybe two hours just looking for *things*—my coffee, my phone, a hammer, measuring tape… Just one more way capitalism sucks my short time on this stupid earth.

Is there such a thing as a “delivery service” where someone picks up an order that is waiting? If a store has it packaged for you, for example, but you can’t get it before they close, is there a way to just order a pickup and drop off of something?

Last night, Biddy the Pittie Puppy decided to watch two full hours of “Emily in Paris.” “What….I love the scenery,” she said. “And that chef dude is hot.”

I’ve received ZERO holiday cards this year, until today when I got this perfect one from @baconjess.bsky.social. 🩷

We’re doing corded phone again. We liked the cord, right? You could wrap it around your finger. You could wrap it around, frankly, many things. But we don’t like phone calls anymore, right? We don’t call beautiful women who are standing by to speak to us. We don’t order Columbia House.

Ok, I know the loss of federal funding has profound impacts on TPT Twin Cities and “public broadcasting” in general. But this is the third thing I have received from TPT with the same “urgent” message on the envelope and it feels grossly out of touch, myopic, and honestly pretty shameful.

you can stop being disappointed when men turn out to be monsters by simply never admiring a man

Curious about folks who work for/use Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, etc: Have you noticed a significant drop in available drivers or increased wait times since the influx of ICE/feds? I also wonder how this is impacting Amazon warehouses and other places that rely on a newcomer workforce to operate?

On single-digit/below-zero days, what temp do you normally set your thermostat to?

I ordered alleged “ADHD-friendly planning organizers” a month or so ago and I: 1. Didn’t open the box when it came because I didn’t “have time” at the moment. 2. Misplaced the box. 3. Forgot I ordered them. 4. Just found the “surprise box” under a pile of laundry I also forgot about.

Tonight, imagine being loved so deeply by two sweet and needy dogs who don’t even know the word “move,” let alone anything about fascism.

Helicopter over Powderhorn for the last hour that does not show up on any flight scanner. Stay safe and turn off your phones if you are out there, friends.

Late night 🧵: Things are BLEAK right now. And it is not only okay to name this. It is important to. But what would make it less hopeless? Does it require an unraveling of everything we know to be true and real? Maybe.

Someone just told me that a recent big UHC corporate meeting with the CEO and other evil overlords recently they put this James Baldwin quote on the screen to talk about how they’re going to fleece more people this next year and… shit has never felt more bleak than right now.

When you're in a meeting that no one shows up to but at least you get a terrible transcript of you talking to your dog that also feels like a summary of my whole being.

NEW MnEEP Toolkit Update: Rapid Response Strategies for MN Schools During Targeted ICE Enforcement www.mneep.org/toolkits/cre...

I watched The Staircase documentary and if "they" are tracking my searches—which, they probably are—it will show that I looked up 769 things related to that case in the span of 48 hours and now "has an owl ever killed anyone" is on my growing FBI file.

New furnace who dis. Niiice. I did end up going with a York heat pump. It is oddly still warm in that corner thanks to the space heater I had cranking there. So I haven’t actually experienced the new furnace yet. But I got one!

The dude installing my new HVAC system is every humorless, blank, drained-of-color-and-emotion super-tall dude who stands directly in front of me at shows.

You can’t tell from these surly-teen photos, but Biddy Bedelia and Flannery Pancake wish you a cozy December Sunday.

I just ate at Cossetta for the first time today in years and my partner said, “I feel like I just entered Turning Point USA: The Restaurant.” And it was a brief moment of levity as I glimpsed Minnesota’s sad future.

Biddy Bedelia, the brown puppy, is so disgusting that she eat’s Flannery’s shit as it is coming out of him then pukes it up as entire turd later like she has just made a sausage and now I wonder if I can ever unsee this.

Imagine having this level of anxiety.

Still no furnace in my home, but four hard-working space heaters are keeping it a “comfortable” 62 degrees in most rooms of my home. I have two cozy dogs keeping me warm, too. Here is Biddy Bedelia in a very Descartes moment around identity and reflection

I will move to the first state that puts POSTING THRU IT on their licensee plate

If you talk to anyone running a restaurant, venue, arts organization or community group, you'll also get the feeling that Minneapolis-St. Paul is going to be a much, much different place in the next two years. The cultural collapse was well underway and it's speeding up.

Ok, I need advice. Do I go with a standard high-efficiency furnace and AC? Or do I do a heat pump/furnace combo? Key points: 1. My home is from 1913. In S. Mpls. 2. Drafty & original windows 3. Have a “third floor” attic that is closed off but sucks up air 4. No air returns on 2nd floor

This Trump media weasel was apparently back in Minneapolis recently making another video to rile up Trump and his base. It was released a few days ago. Very likely all coordinated If you see this guy during what’s next, do not engage and encourage those around you to do the same
