Picked up a brighter-colored whistle at a local business this afternoon, bc mine are all gray, and I read something from a parent who told her kids that if she gets taken & they get left, they should look for a grownup with a whistle.

Just imagine the mispronunciations we'd be hearing today if they had kept the "h" in there. It would be on the level of Wayzata. I kind of wish they had kept it.

I moved from a 3,000 sq ft. house where my electric bill was $240 a month to a 1,200 sq ft. condo and my most recent electric bill is $55. I'm cackling.

Yes, the Andersen Library front door next to Willey Hall. That would probably work the best.

Yep. 1:30 works. I'll put it on my calendar.

Hey David, if they don't get back to you, I could let you in at 1:00. I have to renew my driver's license in the morning. Let me know!

MinnPost guide to the Minnesota Legislature’s 2023 ‘done’ and ‘undone’ lists - MinnPost For just the eighth time in 40 years, a budget session did not require a special session to finish its work. There were many policy changes, too.

I'd like someone to sit down with Klobuchar and go through the list of the historic 2023 DFL trifecta achievements asking her what she would have supported and what she wouldn't have supported. I think it would be illuminating.

We're going to win because their side has no good art and they know it.

He could have gone with “Hennepin” but he went for the higher difficulty score. Respect.

I still see people who don't go here recommending Matt's to each other because it's a Minneapolis thing, but you really don't need to give them your business.

(Also if your phone autocorrects Matt's to Mats, you might be from Minnesota)

a chain of events led me to look back through my old art history newsletter archives; for kicks, I'm going to recreate a fave here in skeet-thread form. So! Let's talk about the industrial design history of the electric guitar

Technically anyone at the march is on a Springsteen track now

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Fact: one of the four civilian attorneys at the Nuremberg Trials was Benedict Deinard of Minneapolis.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MINNEAPOLIS IS UNCONSCIONABLE, DEPLORABLE AND FRANKLY UNFATHOMABLE. OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH ALL OF THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
THE INJUSTICE, DESTRUCTION AND MURDER CARRIED OUT AT THE HANDS OF ICE IS SHOCKING TO WITNESS AND THERE HAVE RIGHTLY BEEN CONCERNS FOR SAFETY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC, AND THE ENTIRE CITY.
AS A BAND WE VEHEMENTLY BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF THE ARTS AS AN ACT OF COMMUNITY, LOVE AND SOLIDARITY, WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF CATHARSIS AND CHANNELING OUR ENERGIES INTO THE CREATIVE CATHARSIS OF MUSIC. WE BELIEVE IN CREATING SAFE SPACES FOR THOSE WHO ARE MARGINALISED, PERSECUTED AND SEEKING SHELTER FROM THE PAIN OF THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
IT IS FOR THOSE REASONS THAT HAVE WE HAVE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD WITH OUR SHOW IN MINNEAPOLIS THIS EVENING. WE WILL ALSO BE DONATING A PORTION OF ALL OUR MERCH SALES TO IRRF, A COALITION OF PHILANTHROPIC LEADERS ROOTED IN COMMUNITIES MOST IMPACTED BY IMMIGRATION-RELATED HARM.
WE URGE ANYONE ATTENDING THE SHOW TODAY TO PLEASE TRAVEL SAFELY, LOOK AFTER YOURSELF AND THOSE AROUND YOU.
MUSIC IS AN ACT OF RESISTANCE AND WE STAND WITH YOU.
ALL OUR LOVE, SPRINTS

Sprints show at the 7th St. Entry should be good tonight. Dublin folks know a thing or two about protest and resistance.

Oh me too. Propaganda works because I've seen it work on my parents. The only reason I am still on Facebook is because of my mom. Everything I post is for her. I talk to her to no avail. My dad is a complete lost cause. We should definitely talk about it sometime!

It's good to see people nationally finally understand why Minnesotans are so weirdly proud of where we call home.

And I have never been prouder of us than right now

"The DFLer in 47A is unopposed, can't I skip?"/ "64A is a super blue district, do I really need to worry about this one?"
