Oct 14th - #Hackers of the world united to overload the Gibson, and prevent the Da Vinci virus from capsizing an oil fleet, designed to distract from "The Plague's" worm stealing $25m. 📽️📅 Hackers (1995)

Linea Palmisano can’t answer this so that in case Jacob loses she doesn’t want to be left on the council holding his bag for the term. And then she’ll be the obvious benefactor of his donor class to run for mayor next cycle.

One part about the Harry Potter books that always sucked (fuck jkr) is that the wizard news paper is constantly getting people’s names wrong, and that is supposed to be an insult to them and signal how unimportant they are, not how bad the journalists are.

happy birthday Paul Simon

Minneapolis deserves a champion for working people. This is our opportunity to build a city where every single resident can thrive. I can’t wait to cast my ballot for my friend and colleague, Omar Fateh, as my first choice for mayor by November 4th, and I hope you will join me.

Oct 13th - The #hackers discover that the Da Vinci virus was a distraction for a hidden worm designed to steal $25m, and the virus is going to capsize an oil fleet the next day as a distraction for the theft. 📽️📅 Hackers (1995)

I hope @dewayneforminneapolis.com doesn't mind me retelling a story he told me when we first met last winter. I kept it to myself because he wasn’t telling it publicly but he mentioned it yesterday. It’s one of the things that’s leading me to rank him first. A hope-its-ok-and-I-get-right 🧵:

“Hidden here is the assumption that ordinary people are unable to grasp anything challenging or complex. It is a wretchedly patronising claim imposed upon working-class people by middle-class gatekeepers…” observer.co.uk/news/columni...

But if we defund the police, who will arrest you for having a stroke, lock you up, and let you die?

Saw a Minnesota white on black license plate that said H8UALL in case you were wondering who chooses those plates.

Hey there @dropkickmurphys.com fans! For The People is out today and we've got signed album art packaged with the vinyl!! If you buy the vinyl or CD, ask for your cool stencil at the music counter. Stencils are for in-person purchases only. Indie vinyl info: electricfetus.com/UPC/54008631...

"Our neighborhood has become a ghost town, they said amid the lively bustle of the festival" rates among classics like: "nobody comes here anymore, there's no place to park" and "why weren't we notified this was happening, the crowd moaned at the packed public meeting."

That video still looks like an inflatable Richard Serra sculpture. Medium=message

Where my NEWSIES heads at?

A couple of weeks ago I noticed a leak on my exterior faucet. Didn’t have time to address it, so I thought well, I’ll hire a plumber to come out and do it. You can guess where this is going.

TIL about Twinkie the Loon, active Twins mascot from 1980 to [checks notes] 1981. TC is awesome, but can we get an annual Twinkie the Loon game? He did it all (unicycle, juggling)

I know i ask this a lot, but when are we allowed to stop calling them moderates??? I want to be politically correct, call people by the labels they've chosen for themselves, but it just feels misleading to talk about them that way.

I Hope That I Get Old Before I Die The Might Be Giants

Screenshot from Blois' Morning Take. It's the kind of maddening circular reasoning that leads to status quo and voter alienation. Whether or not you think Fateh's policies would help these problems, Frey's policies CREATED them. Jacob Frey IS the mayor of Minneapolis, and has been for 8 years.

“Hit doors in every corner” Except for the bottom-left corner. Oh, and also the upper-right.

Inflation happening at LUNDS. 2 days ago, and today.

I’m a business owner in the city. I hate that my street is aging. The reason people don’t drive (the only customers I want) to my business is because of potholes. Wait, they’re redoing the street?!? No! The reason people don’t drive to my business is because of construction. Now I’m forced to close

Today is National Day of Remembrance. We mourn our ancestors who died in the Indian Boarding Schools during the U.S. government's means to assimilate my people then. It remains a difficult day for us especially given the historic traumas we still endure to this day. #EveryChildMatters

CRASH AND BURN

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

Is this picture real? It looks like a still from The Hudsucker Proxy

There used to be a shitty gas station run by a shitty jerk that closed and is now just a vacant commercial property in W13. Over the weekend a Jazz Hampton sign went up. But when I went to walk by it today to take a picture the Jazz sign is gone. What does this say about the landlord vote?

CVS with some great in-store advertising.

He is such a weasel. He knows a good idea when he sees it…but if he can’t claim full credit, he’d rather see it die on the vine.

Today on Minneapolis nextdoor: a fringe park board candidate has a crime alert! Their sign is gone (STOLEN!). But all the replies are pointing out the multiple violations (crimes?) in his picture.

Seems like the shirt not being the same color as the album cover is a huge missed opportunity.

“now more than ever, minneapolis needs a leader. not a liar,” says fateh

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Landlords: talking about renters’ rights is an attack on landlords.

propaganda you should resist: - "saint" paul over st. paul - "greater" MN over outstate MN - "twin cities" meaning more than just 2 cities

Jacob Frey continues to be unwilling and unable to meet the moment, any moment he is presented with.

Jay W. Ingison (1939) Source: Hennepin County Library Ingison, owner of a goat farm in Golden Valley, holds two week old kids. One is a Saanen goat and the black and white one is a mixture of the Saanen and Toggenburg breeds.

I believe a not insignificant number of issues would be solved if people understood that the street in front of or near their residence is not in fact some kind of special extension of their personal property specifically for automobile storage.

That’s (still) 3! (4 games played)🏀

This post has been retweeted into my timeline so many times, and every time I start reading it on Perd Hapley’s voice.

Calling it “green” and not “lime” Is this a thing people do?

The story of this election is downtown business owners and suburban landlords trying to meddle in a majority renter city in order to be allowed to exploit us for more money. Fuck that.

An update on that insane lease term where the landlord owns everything you create during the tenancy:

The Becka Thompson residency dispute, and the other ones like it, show that the centrists and their donor class hold Minneapolis in total contempt. Rules are for suckers, community means nothing, you don't deserve better, shut up and vote how we tell you or the communists will let you get crimed.

They think you're stupid. They think you're an idiot for living here. They actually hate you and want the worst for you. They want to extract every last bit of value from poor renters and sunk-cost commercial real estate while ensconced in their suburban enclaves. I have seen it, personally.
