I'll be cheering for the Canadian team (though I might not watch much of the Series) in the hope that a Canadian citizen will see me doing so and adopt me.

I just read it. I appreciate the insight your experience, scrutiny, and fundamental worldview provide.

The lower 48 were all states by early 1912... seems odd to call MN "the Northwest" in 1921... ?

fast food with empty wrapper and napkins in it and a fast food cup from Zantigo on an empty chilito wrapper smeared with taco sauce… chilitos are puréed chili and melted cheese in a flour tortilla

I came to Bloomington to eat chilitos and water my mom’s plants… and I’m all out of chilitos

curmudgeon complaint of the day:

the phrase “on a dime,” a prepositional phrase (that works as an adverb) describing a tight space, very quickly, right on time… somehow became just the noun “dime,” a football thrown very well, or the throw itself

WTH, stoopid football talkers

Not the first time, certainly not the last.

yeah, I do and I did… a great record

TW- uh… rhythmism

at The Damned show… punky, cool-looking women who have no rhythm make me kinda sad

please don’t cancel me haha

I mean... write 'em and give it a month?

yes

ah, shit... I love a good meme, and this is good... (sorry!)

I before E except after C... I hate when good memes can't spell...

I appreciate the attention to History. All the History.

I lived in that region for a long time and never bothered to see what’s going on there. Thank you for your service.

I just spent around two hours with my (deceased) cousin’s children on Facetime. I used to love kids- went to school to be a teacher, was a camp counselor, etc.
One of them calls me sometimes, and I’m not the same guy I was, but I remember the joy of children. I’m glad they call.
They’re great kids

I'm looking for sources... I just read someone assert that very thing as true.

Well, there's a surveillance cam photo of him going into a doctor's office the day before he died... I don't think it's a secret that he was in pain.

shit, listen…

I hate, really *do not like* talking on the phone

my nephew, 22, kept me on the line for over two hours this evening

the dude is solid; he doesn’t understand how forward-thinking he is (given the current state of… us)

he’s back in Duluth and they’re lucky to have him

"Pre Fixe?" Come one who the bloody hell is the editor at @startribune.com Its PRIX Fixe!! = PRICE Fix, the price is fixed for the meal. Come on people, do bloody better. Just look it up in @merriamwebster.bsky.social for cripes sake!! www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/p....

Neither I, nor anyone who knows me, would tell you I’m good at being an adult. I am an adequate adult and I feel young until I go to my mailbox on days like this one.

even worse, I just noticed I have a ticket for a show tonight and I will also not be going there

ah, jeez... I just saw that it's NNO and I like my neighbors and the weather isn't insanely hot and... here I am with chicken in the oven and two loads of laundry in the washer downstairs so happy Same-as-it-(almost)-ever-was Night In for this kid, I guess

apartment courtyard

out here in my backyard and despite the questionable air… beautiful

I spent the afternoon/evening with my mom and my ex-gf (obvsly, we’re cool). Mom had a gallstone blocking her bile duct and holy shit, does that cause a lot of trouble. Her liver function numbers need to improve, then she can go home. Fingers crossed.

that last bit is everything... perception is reality, and I'm thankful that the overall mindset here in Mpls is more DSA and less MAGA, because all those folks start in roughly the same place (though to be fair, I'm much more DSA than DFL)

why does the emergency announcement on the radio sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher in a bunker? Yes, I’m in a Lyft and the next song on KS95 was pure garbage
