If you work or study at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, make sure you know what to do. monarcamn.org/upstander-ba...

Yes, I believe it is on permanent loan from the Walker. The Weisman is a good spot for it.

That makes sense! I love it too.

The NPR obituary of Frank Gehry mentions his lifelong obsession with fish, which I had never heard of before.
Drawing and sculpting fish helped him design buildings that "express feeling and humanistic qualities." It helps explain this Gehry sculpture of a fish in the Weisman Art Museum.

I consider myself very lucky that I get to walk by the Weisman Art Museum every day. It is a beautiful and whimsical building that brings me joy. RIP Frank Gehry.

Going to #Scotland early summer.... Looking for unusual recommendations. Got a good list of the usual suspects. Particularly looking for #hikes and small #distlleries. And #birdwatching. Thanks anyone.

This is a nifty idea.

Once again, I have to advise that you find your local high school and attend their winter choir and/or band concerts. They are inexpensive, the performers are INVESTED, and it’s a really lovely way to build connections in your community.

When you see this, post an image from your gallery to describe your mental health.

Lyric to "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News with "Don't need no credit card to ride this train" highlighted

With changes to transit payment systems, I wonder how long it will be before people are literally boasting about not needing a credit card as Huey Lewis foretold in 1985

I felt compelled to make some flyers to welcome these Twin Cities tourists!

Good thing “humble” isn’t in the Law.

I think the main thing is you don't have to ride with a human driver. For example, my daughter says she would feel safer in a Waymo. I tried one in San Fransisco and it was not cheaper, and I felt bad that I was taking a fare away from someone. So, its a no from me.

Shockingly not quite frozen over this morning. And I got part of a sundog which is cool.

Thanks!

Stole this from the Cedar Cultural Center’s page since they aren’t here. ♥️♥️♥️

Brooks: Trump’s current tirade targeting Somali Minnesotans should come as no surprise Calling your own citizens “garbage” says more about you than it does them.

Thank you, @stribrooks.bsky.social. Somali Minnesotans are just Minnesotans. We will stand up for our neighbors.

Exactly. This is getting out of hand!

Can anyone explain what the differences between all these are? Regardless, I appear to have a vibe.

Timberwolves might need a new sponsor

Oh no. That is too many times!

I haven't heard anything. Kaler has got to be close, though, to getting something named after him.

I don't know the story! I should find out, but the mystery of it is some of the fun. I hope it stays there forever!

Sorry about that. At least you got it out of the way early.

On this frigid, cold December day I want to remind all of you that you can view a wonderful piece of art at Coffman Memorial Union at the University of Minnesota. Enjoy!

Window washers in Minneapolis. I admire their bravery.
