i originally went to Nebraska for undergrad! i spent my first semester out of high school (fall '15) in Lincoln, then realized i wanted a bigger city and transferred to Minnesota

only lived there for about four months but have many fond memories and made friends i'm still in touch with today. GBR!

my next door neighbors are Wild season ticket holders but they're the only people i've regularly interacted with in over half a decade of living here with any strong feelings on the wild. granted, i live in minneapolis, not saint paul

hockey in minnesota exists in a universe separate from every other sport, and the NHL is consistently the brand of hockey that draws the least casual interest here because of norm green. college hockey is more popular. high school hockey is way more popular

the absolute value is going up! that's good, right?

we don't talk nearly often enough about how amazing it is that most interstates don't have a 69th milepost because people keep stealing the signs so they can own the sex number. i wonder what that DOT meeting was like. future archaeologists are gonna have a field day with this one.

The downed monument, a brown fist clenching the Pan-African Flag, on Chicago Avenue

just saw an apparently impaired driver barrel into the george floyd monument at 37th and Chicago at like 25 mph and then drive off like nothing happened

maybe next year they'll reach 300 countries!

A chart titled "Eli's Movies 2024", displaying Eli's 2024 Letterboxd activity by date (x-axis) and rating (y-axis). 63 movies are represented by stars.

here they are as a somewhat useless chart

watched 63 movies this year, the overwhelming majority of which were animated.

i guess i'm officially a letterboxd guy now: letterboxd.com/wellitseli/f...

A #7 obtained from Joe Mauer's 2019 number retirement ceremony hanging on Eli's wall next to a copy of the Argus Leader from the day after the Twins won the 1987 World Series

anyway, Mauer forever

getting a pregame ceremony after being inducted to the hall of fame probably doesn't sound that wild but he was just inducted to the *twins* hall of fame in a nearly identical ceremony last year and he's gonna get another nearly identical ceremony for the statue next year. it's mauer 24/7 up here.

i don't think people understand just how hard the Twins celebrated Joe Mauer this year.

the team counted down the days til his induction at every home game, gave him a pregame ceremony just because, announced that he's getting a statue outside target field next year...

completely inescapable.

i think this was patient zero

this and the Defunctland FastPass doc basically stop me in my tracks any time i even think about visiting a Disney park

i wouldn't blame you

I am a huge fan of Hawk Tuah but you took my life savings as there's a drive into deep left by Castellanos; it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4-0 ballgame. I dunno if I'm gonna be purchasing this coin again. I dunno if it's gonna be for my kids or my retirement fund. I want to apolog

on my bootleg dorktown arc but this is nuts

wish i could say the same

Scam Likely is actually my second cousin once removed. i'm visiting the fam for Thanksgiving and he's irate that everyone keeps ignoring his calls. sorry dude, not our fault your mom named you Scamuel

Drix predicts Nebraska football's record for each of the eight years of Matt Rhule's contract: 5-7, 7-5, 8-4, 8-4, 10-2, 7-5, 8-4, 7-5

looking through my archives from this date and @bddrix.bsky.social is 2-for-2 if nebraska can win on friday

the absolute disrespect to NIT finalists Ralph Sampson III and the Hollinses. i'll have you know that team only started 0-4 in Big Ten play that year!

i used to dream of being on this show. used to rush home from school to be sat in front of my TV before 4pm central. bought tim cowlishaw and woody paige's books entirely because of this show. considered tony reali a role model.

and even i am surprised it lasted this long.
