All set for dvd viewing while wrapping with everyone else out of the house. Physical media forever

Semi-regular reminder that my employer has twice refused to run announcements in our internal newsletter about the legal obligation of drivers to stop at our new crosswalks, but has run several reminding pedestrians to look both ways (including once after a student was hit by a driver)

people always laugh when bears run away from housecats because they're so much bigger but like. imagine you were in the woods & you ran into a weird little guy that looks kinda like you but like 1/5th the size & his head is shaped weird & he is running toward you full tilt yelling. what would you do

This was written by a friend of mine back in 2011; it's about the importance of jury duty. I feel like more people intuitively understand the power (and importance) of serving on juries now than in 2011, but it's still worth a read. dancingattherevolution.wordpress.com/2011/09/10/t...

Dec 21st 1990 - Kevin gets sent to bed by himself. Harry of the Wet Bandits cases the houses in the neighbourhood. Fuller McCallister (a Wet Bandit himself) prepares himself for the evening. 📽️📅 Home Alone (1990)

​Super windy and cold out there - but my little guy flew like a champ!

Today, with the windchill struggling to reach 0°F at times, thousands marched down Lake Street in South Minneapolis protesting the actions of ICE. “ICE Out of Minnesota!” "MINNESOTANS KNOW ICE IS SLIPPERY AND DANGEROUS - IT'S TIME TO DE-ICE!" "Immigrants are not the problem"

When in Brooklyn

a beautiful shirt (also a year ago at this time i marathoned all these movies and ranked them)

November 18 1943: The Minneapolis Tribune leads with "Snow Stops Buses, Not Trolleys" after a storm snarls traffic and causes buses to slide off the road. The Twin Cities Rapid Transit streetcar system is the only reliable thing moving.

Email from Minneapolis Parks and Rec: NYE ice skating party. “Cost: $10 per skater Free for ages 6+” So they’re only charging for 5 y.o. and under? Who is this for?

“THE FIGHTING LADY She’s a lady, who fights.” Just kidding, it’s a boat.

This BS line is treated as a profound statement on the state of the city. Can you be in therapy without a therapist? Without a therapist you’re not actually doing therapy.

Can you really be in a photo with someone who is not pictured?

I almost don’t even want to share this video because the production is so bad, but there are a few cool jumps and drops. Too bad the video sucks.

No you can't. Telling a computer to paint something for you is not remotely the same as painting something yourself, what is wrong with these people

Renee got me a wonderful ornament: "FUCK THE DENVER AIRPORT"

No, I don’t think it’s interesting to talk about how cold it is with out-of-towers. I also don’t care that a different place has different weather.

Despite being in charge of the Twin Cities' transit system, many of the people on the Met Council essentially never ride it. The funny thing is we've known this for over a decade. It continues to be true, everybody says "that seems bad," and then nothing changes

Understanding challenges/conditions, I don't think justification of what it would cost to provide function/quality should factor It costs what it costs to live in the snow. Period. Sorry not sorry to be that girl: Especially not when MPD has an ever-increasing budget they mismanage AND blow by $20M

Dec 13th 1996 - Time traveller James Cole attempts to prevent a deadly virus from being released. 📽️📅 Twelve Monkeys (1995)

who wouldn’t want this pervert steeping his green ass in your beverage

Mayor Frey says he is already planning to veto this. A bare minimum policy. This is in addition to his refusal to implement emergency housing vouchers & the expansion of stable homes stable schools earlier this year. There’s no plan and no will to implement solutions that are funded.

45 years ago today Sandinista! is the fourth studio album by English punk rock band the Clash, released on this day in 1980 as a triple album containing 36 tracks, with 6 songs on each side #punk #punks #punkrock #theclash #sandinista #history #punkrockhistory #otd

i want to be clear about this: worker’s rights also includes the right to be free from racist or sexist or gendered abuse at your job.

For as long as I’ve lived in SW Minneapolis, the bus stops along 56th St have been labeled “no routes currently serve this stop” Today I saw a @metrotransitmn.bsky.social bus going down 56th for the first time. Service has been restored! I’m so excited.

This might be the worst representation of Rocky Mountain National Park I’ve ever seen.

It says BUT Why do you have a BUT necklace?

Governor, when my wife was arrested at BroTex she had a team of attorneys — including legislators & a MN supreme court justice — trying to locate her & they were all stonewalled by Feds. There’s a pattern here. But the point is that they shouldn’t be disappearing *ANYONE* regardless of citizenship!

Nobody should call these "erroneous" arrests. It's not happening by accident. Flooding cities with poorly trained ICE thugs to harass and racially profile is the entire point.

In 1922 the democrats nominated somebody’s wife to the United States Senate. Anna Dickie Olesen was the first woman to be nominated to US Senate by a major party

Were they fishing from the plane?

St. Paul Public Library system has a new limited edition library card for city residents recognizing the 50th anniversary of the Southeast Asian resettlements to Minnesota www.twincities.com/2025/12/09/s...

I saw Catbath like 10 years ago. Bought their EP. Glad to see they’re still out there doing it. Gonna have to check out their new stuff.

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

The democrats are a big tent party. They can include both those that are charged with criminal vehicular homicide, and those that think someone charged with criminal vehicular homicide should not be in a leadership position—- oh wait. They don’t want one of those 2 groups. (The latter)

I think the solution to all of our problems is more ska music.

The headline states “to learn what was already known” No where in the “article” do they even attempt to state how it was known. Or even if I am trying my hardest to believe they are acting in good faith (it’s kstp, they aren’t): why confirming this known thing is bad.

If you are writing a kids movie about christmas, and your central conflict is characters questioning whether Santa exists - you are a sicko. Fuck you.

In March 2025, “Attorney General Ellison wins settlement dissolving nonprofits used to deceive Minnesotans.” “the settlement dissolves the five nonprofits named in the lawsuit” “includes the Minnesota Civilian Public Safety Commission Inc.,”

Why do the mobility devices that are designed and marketed to conquer all terrains always get the most attention to have a squeaky clean pavement, while everyone else is left behind?

This (and all our “BRT’s”) should be light rail trains or streetcars at the very least.

This is an example of the “opposite extreme” to “Donald Trump’s extremism” that Jacob Frey warned us was wrong to engage in and told us he does not support.

Bernadette Hornig, of the Hornig Hornigs, made the mistake of referencing the man in the front row which only made him react harder. You can't encourage this type of behavior by giving it attention.
