Since I'm done with the bad place, need to get Tommy content up. Throw back to the era where Tommy terrorized our kitchen by opening the freezer.

I’ve lived a lot of places in my lifetime and my assessment of the Cities is that we are an urban core with a fundamentally suburban mentality. The default to driving, parking lots, and the number of strip malls in dense neighborhoods are the most glaring examples.

I wrote about whether people in the Twin Cities simply lack the culture and habit of walking to places. (I think we do.) Here are some tips from two avid pedestrians.

Too many of us are missing the benefits of walking

Even in good weather in parts of the Twin Cities with nice sidewalks and close destinations, people aren't walking as much as they could.

I have the perfect plan to resurrect the democratic party, but it will NOT work if a 50-follower bluesky account is mean to me

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

Or, maybe let that stuff go. The person who hurt you has moved on. You are eating the poison hoping the other person dies. Move on and stop allowing that person and his/her actions to rent space in your head. Don't dig any graves. Just be light and polite if you see them in public.

This is why I would trade Frey for a different moderate (like Jazz) in a heartbeat.

At the Ward 8 for a New Mayor rally last Saturday, Commissioner Angela Conley said the county's been trying to work with the mayor on homelessness for seven years and he's shut them out.

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

On one hand, nationally renowned media law expert Jane Kirtley says the Frey administration's apparent efforts to circumvent open records law are astounding.

On the other hand, the city attorney appointed by Frey says it's all fine. www.startribune.com/mayor-jacob-...

Political group accuses Frey of improperly deleting texts. Some advocates and media lawyers agree.

The Minneapolis city attorney’s office says Mayor Jacob Frey is in compliance with the state transparency laws.

Someone should let her know that she is currently the chair of the (normally) powerful Senate Appropriations Committee and do a lot more than weakly protest this shit.

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur.bsky.social · 1d

Sen. Susan Collins says the White House should try to get their proposed spending cuts into appropriations bills.

“This end run is not helpful,” she says.

Collins adds that it “would be helpful” to reopening the govt if WH and OMB’s Russ Vought stop the rescissions.

I have a Lynx discord of over 250 folks who will tell you they live and die by what happens to their favorite team.

People want coverage of their teams like any other sport.

Economics professor and author @wagesofwins.bsky.social discusses why losses or setbacks in men’s sports have almost always been met with more investment, while women’s sports haven’t historically been given the time and money to thrive.

Taking in refugees isn't just a nice thing we do — we have a legal obligation. The 1951 Refugee Convention came about specifically because countries like the US refused entry to Jews who were trying to escape Germany, because the world didn't ever want that to happen again.
