So… my usually 30-45 minute commute home took about a 1:40 today. Be careful on those Twin Cities roads!

This is badass!

Get her ass, Peggy!
Respectfully, Congresswoman, you voted with Republicans to strip due process from immigrants and to praise Trump's ICE. This year.

Now you're upset?

Votes have consequences. Minnesotans deserve better.
ICE agents followed a Burnsville family home from the store, failed to present a warrant and entered their home with guns drawn. They detained 4 legal citizens who presented documentation, leaving a 7 year-old without parents.

A seven-year-old. Let that sink in. Trump’s ICE is out of control.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, this shit!
McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad

The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

My weather app currently says that it is not snowing, and that there isn’t a chance of snow until 7pm, which is… not at all accurate.

Cyber Glove Day was last Monday. I thought this one would have sold. A perfect high quality youth glove that can be passed down from child to child then eventually saved for future generations. It's an heirloom glove. All other gloves posted via #cybergloveday day are also still available.
Nokona AMG 100-OW 10" youth model glove. Hardly used, still could use some breaking in. If you want your youth player to have a quality glove that will last you can't go wrong with Nokona. $150 plus s/h, [email protected] to claim.

Have you ever been betrayed by your soccer instincts? Right after I took this photo of my dad after his community band concert, he dropped his saxophone and I reflexively tried to catch it with my foot! 😫

Nordderby thoughts.

@hsv.bsky.social supporters tifo ahead of the Nordderby contest with @werder.de at the Volksparkstadion.

Like this post and I will mention a random Minnesota Twin.

Home and away supporter tifos ahead of the Frankenderby between @1fcnuernberg.bsky.social and SpVgg Greuther Fürth at the Max-Morlock-Stadion. These two Franconian teams have one of the oldest rivalries in German soccer.

Worlds collide! I’m reading Greg Graffin’s memoir, Punk Paradox, and he references the classic card game Mille Bornes.

This whistles in this Miami crowd are really aggravating.

What do you have to do to actually get called for dissent in this day and age?

Lionel Messi doesn’t have a chin.

This is a hell of a soccer game. #MIAVAN #MLSCupFinal
December 6, 2025 at 9:09 PM
You can tell how many non-soccer fans there are in Miami by how loud the crowd cheered the Messi “goal” that was well after the offside whistle. #MIAVAN #MLSCupFinal

Brutal own goal by Ocampo. 1-0 #MIAVAN #MLSCupFinal

I did just learn that “unemployed” in Dutch is “werkloze” so that’s fun.
