Well maybe you shouldn’t have raise the price 50% and then bailed out one of the countries that was absorbing the market you blew up for $40billion but that’s just me

Wes Burdine: Why this St. Paul business owner is voting ‘yes’ to amend the city charter On my three-block walk to work, on one of the busiest streets in the city, I pass by three empty lots and I stare at a wall of empty storefronts. Just a few more blocks away is the derelict CVS tha…

Good morning, i wrote about the St. Paul election issue of administrative citations, an extremely basic tool we need for growing the city of St. Paul. Vote yes.

They'll cast these rallies as "angry" but everyone there is plainly having a great time because it's fun to get together with like-minded people to engage in the oldest American tradition: telling a tyrant to eat shit

Fat Bear Week Will Never Get Old Because It’s Really About Life and Death Our favorite wildlife competition crowned an aging winner this year, and reminded us that for the chubby bears we love, the stakes will always be high

"Fat Bear Week, I’ve realized, is the healthiest parasocial relationship we’ll ever be in."

If you don’t rank your full ballot, you could end up with someone who is the complete opposite of what you believe in.

I believe if everyone votes their values, I will show I am the choice the majority of Minneapolis wants.

Rank fully, and rank me number one.

Tumblr post from every-lemon 
Sep 8

so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff.
they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed.
I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."

it was a smash hit.
a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud.
he was home by 6:30am.

fiery speech from dewayne davis addressing dinner du nord, looking at photos of who was at the table and not recognizing the mayor’s friends from when he goes to the food shelf, contrasted with the encampments and shootings, who is being invited to the table?

dewayne the pastor in full effect 🔥

Here’s my issue with Kirk as a debater: Show me one example where he was debating to understand vs debating to win. every clip I’ve seen of him, he was not seeking greater understanding of the position or person he was arguing with, just arguing for arguing’s sake

“Charlie Kirk was a bad person but even bad people don’t deserve to be murdered” is all they have to say. It’s not hard.

The Aug employment report shows the strain from growth negative policies--restrictive immigration means construction job losses, trade war means mfg job losses, budget cuts mean state & local govts and health care sputter as job engines. The economy is v close to a tipping point
