If by quiet, you mean loud, yes.

Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov I know you're super busy doing whatever it is you do, but can you get MN DPS to get a Bluesky account? I would like to have them fly the helicopter over here so I can do that thing where you hear one and are compelled to stare up at the sky to look for it.

"HELICOPTER GO TO BED (featuring a Bell 407 helicopter)" as created by Gemini Nano Banana Pro, because shitposting is what AI is meant for. Ahhh the environment.

Send it over here so I can do that thing where you hear a helicopter and are compelled by the laws of nature to look for it.

Minnesota is really doing a general strike on Friday btw.

Here I am, a generic blonde hair, blue eyed, bearded white dude that has Hmong uncles, aunts, cousins (including still in K12 school), etc. Yes, they're all blood relatives. My family is real interesting, real quick. You bet your ass I would do some damn distasteful things to ensure their safety.

😅

The MSP thread reminds me of Twitter when it was fun. I've always said the hardship of winter bonds Minnesotans together. Now we have winter AND unaccountable federal goons to bring us together for resource, joke, and information sharing.

$122.50 away from getting a first run of stickers rolling! Other Locals are ALSO working on getting some. It's a Large Metro and there shall be plenty to go around!

All this sticker talk makes me want to invest in some machines.

Hey twin cities feed, anyone know of local print shops that can do sticker prints (ideally cut/die cut)?

Connected with the creator on Reddit: shoutout to @bdsa83.bsky.social for giving us the rebel loon! (the Reddit chat was actually useful - don't let the Reddit product managers know that though).

It definitely fills a gap in @bsky.app where Twitter (at one point) was great for hyper-local discovery and locally trending chatter. This makes Bluesky feel a bit more "real".

I'm going to place an order, maybe for 250 or so to start?

Do we know if the creator is on bluesky/in the Minneapolis and St. Paul feed?

Now this, is sick. Anyone know of sticker printers in the twin cities?

I'm not getting blasted with smells of what people bring for lunch and what happens after they eat it, the 20 different colognes, and the sounds of other people being in my vicinity. Comfortable desk setup, comfortable chair of my choice, using my own restroom, and the ability to just go lay down.

Is there a group in the NE metro that can connect? I’m still looking for one in the east metro myself.

I am at present, enraged at this occupation.

This is fun. @defendthe612.bsky.social is what's linked on defend612.com but there's this other "defend612.bsky.social" account that seems to NOT be affiliated?

Even within different neighborhoods it's different. Woodbury which is still part of the metro, has not had the same amount of activity (anecdotally). My commute across the metro is a much more different experience that at home. Merely going 10 to 15 minutes towards St. Paul is enough to see it.

I just looked. He's really continuing to use the occupation of the Twin Cities and the suffering of others in his fundraising for the DFL (and in particular, for those many of us have no faith in). He talks about togetherness in his articles, but all he can see is opportunity and dollars.

I tried on a pair of bifocal sunglasses by accident in the Menards checkout a couple weeks ago. I couldn’t figure out why everything looked weird. Also as someone who loses or breaks sunglasses all the time, Menards checkout is where I buy mine.

The wool socks they raced to buy are caught on hangnail and they can’t take their boots off for another 8 hours. 8009

Remember how the red hat wearing weirdos drive around with flags on their trucks? Well, I both have a truck AND some semblance of free will. 🤔

Schumer in search of his $5 Footlong. Release the Jared Files

For the record, I would vote for a packing peanut before @klobuchar.senate.gov

Minnesotans giving up boxes we “might need some day” is a big deal.

If we must go to battle, we found our bard.

I’ll do it only if we can bring back the laser loon as my state seal.

While I have not lived in NE Minneapolis in decades since I was a wee lad, this still angers me (should anger you too). That giant hole with the bridge used to not exist, those were houses. That last house remaining at the dead end was mine. This happened in what effectively was my back yard.

When they use weapons on a threat, and that threat is a person with a camera, the only reasonable conclusion is they do not want to have their actions seen. Make them be seen.

If not, we should demand a Fallout game set in Minneapolis. There's some Minnesotan reference gold to be had.

"Enter Sandman" is a lullaby.

It doesn't even make sense on paper. 19 billion dollars would make these statistics look much different in the first place. Imagine just how positive and powerful of an impact 19 BILLION dollars actually would be in the hands of our fellow Minnesotans. www.mncompass.org/topics/demog...

Was there even a warrant? Fucking hell.

I just heard my recycling can tip over in the east metro. Ope.

"lttstore.com" (Maybe @linusmediagroup.com will take Bluesky seriously finally?)

That’s pretty cool. There’s always a way to attach one too. The loops on my LTT bag make for a nice quick pull release of one of my whistles. Same technique can work for MOLLE loops (though it’s tighter).

Somewhere is a sleeper agent constantly being activated by the Lorem Ipsum.

Another sleeper agent has been activated

I get the reference but I feel like a sleeper agent just got activated somewhere.

I am ready.

Just tell them it's an Eagles celebration and they'll do the rest.

He's so dementia'd it might just work.

Anyone remember those t-shirts with speakers and a headphone jack that thinkgeek used to sell? Maybe it's time for those terrible $10 bluetooth speakers we've all received as a gift at some point in our life to make an appearance.

I'm still waiting for confirmation from them on my authenticity. Do I get a COA for my effort? He did ask others, so I just thought I would helpfully provide. bsky.app/profile/thet...

You heard it here first, we were literally born for this.

That's it, I'm upgrading from my safety whistles to my safety recorder. A little bit more bulky, but may have the effect of working as a snake charmer on ICE.
