I was on the northeast corner (Starbucks side). Usually facing westbound traffic on 55

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

Minneapolis is in fact a wonderful, creative, and dynamic place to live, with a deep wellspring of people willing to work hard to make it even better.

Emphasizing, exaggerating, or even lying about its faults does nothing to help our local economy grow or our society to more tightly knit together.

I’m sorry to all my friends who are parents of tweens and are going to have to talk about the song about Travis Kelse’s b*ner with them

How about Marie? I’m assuming in-universe she’s about Hank’s age and I’m WAY cooler than Marie

Yall, Marie just said Hank is 43 and there’s no WAY I am the same age as this man

Speaking of the iconic cars of this show, it’s annoying how every time I see Walt’s Aztec, it makes me think of a damn Cybertr*ck cause of all the memes

I know everything feels like so fucking much all the goddam time, but this is such a crucial point:

Collective action to apply pressure still gets shit done. You might feel like "just" 1 person, & that's because you are— but physical crowds & values-based movements are made of individuals, together

It’s important to remember that public pressure has worked to move the needle on things like this before, and it can work again. They want us to think everything they do is inevitable. It’s not

A lot of somewhat quiet conservatives from my life that I had missed blocking before came out of the woodwork today; I guess this was my generation’s guy

I'm really having trouble processing the relative silence from Barack Obama about a colleague who he'd hosted at the White House, the Minnesota State House Speaker, being assassinated, but rushing to get out a weepy statement about Charlie fucking Kirk.

Would be pretty pretty pretty stoked to vote for Gov Simon or Murphy. I like Brauer too much to want him to run for Gov 😉
