A few beers and live jazz and I’m 90% the way to booking plane tickets to New Orleans. Everything else is really is smoke and mirrors.
Gonna starting referring to Susan Crawford as “Old Spice” because she’s great at getting rid of unpleasant Musks
just over here photoshopping muppets onto the cover of gq magazine: thread
Kendrick Lamar deserves to win the very first Nobel Hate Prize

The two greatest University of Minnesota moments in the last several months. #gophers #bts
MINNESOTA WINS THE @dukesmayobowl.bsky.social !!! PJ FLECK IS GONNA GET THE MAYO DUMP!!!
I AM READY FOR DRY JANUARY
How luck we are to have lived at the same time as Jimmy Carter. And how lucky was Jimmy Carter to live to see 2 Pop Tart Bowls.
“It’s weird that it’s rained the last 2 Dec” said my boomer dad while driving a new truck that’s makes 18mpg. The lead in his blood must make up for the lack of self-reflection.
The Biology of Bee’s and other Social Insects with the UMN Bee Lab!! I was getting a cellular biology BS and this class was just for funsies but radically changed how I think about both insects and civil society

Every neighborhood deserves its own little Black Walnut Bakery by right. No CUPs, no extra hoops. Just a lovely, walkable viennoiserie in everyone’s life
Black Walnut Bakery is my absolute favorite in Minnesota. It has the best balance of puff pastries, laminated, sweet, savory, and so incredibly cozy inside. An absolute banger of a third space.
The Muppets are celebrating their 70th anniversary--and the first character they're spotlighting is Rowlf! That's the right choice. He's not the oldest Muppet--Kermit predates him by about 7 years--but he's one of the most important in helping build Jim Henson's name, company, and legacy. /1
Enjoy!
Look, I try not to get preachy about sustainability on here, but try to be careful
Saw one more "cyclists should just take the side street" take online and reached my breaking point, had to make this meme 😭😭

Starting my one sided beef with Eau Claire Engineers after they said they don’t do speed tables or traffic calming for school zones and pedestrian trails.
I can do hard things, I just wasn’t expecting attaching a cargo rack to my bike to be one of those things! It was so needlessly hard 🥲
Brick Oven Bakery

Fine I’ll say it. Spotted cow is a trash beer and not worth the exclusivity of being available only in Wisconsin.
The wide spread adoption of his aesthetics is what gives it that special je ne sais quoi of who has truly mastered the sad, slightly anemic and underfed look of the OG
If NYC got the Timothee Chalamet contest and Chicago got Jeremy Allan White, when’s the Justin Vernon lookalike contest in Eau Claire??

Neither of the dakotas will (likely) have a governor in Feb and Minnesota has the opportunity to do this funniest thing ever
Long live Friday fish fries
