Do you ever find yourself thinking, “Man, I wish I could read about beer, but I’ll die if I go that long without gay ennui”? Well, I’m the Minneapolis-based beer writer for you.
Am I the best beer writer? No. Am I better than the beer writers for the Strib? Yes. Am I gay? Also yes. Duh. See above.

I feel like there’s a 90% chance we have a 28-year-old autistic trans woman to thank for talking to the old autistic white men “old guard” about this persuasively.
THE PEOPLE'S MODEL RAILROAD MUSEUM IS ON STRIKE TOO
The Mueum will be closed Friday, January 23rd in support of our community. We look forward to welcoming you back on Saturday the 24th.
Please stay warm and look out for your neighbors!

I do not like seeing my house or my neighbors’ houses on the national news. It always about bad things. It’s never about making the golf course a public sex forest, which is what it’d be about if the world wasn’t totally off the rails.

It cannot be made clearer.
If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Take a break from scrolling the horrors, and scroll these reviews! NA Beers that are more satisfying and have more substance than the responses of many of our state and local officials!

Strongly recommend Rickrolling your partner before bed during their wind-down routine.
Sure, shit’s crazy and they deserve a little relaxation before bed. But also, they deserve to know you’re never gonna give them up. Never gonna let them down. Never gonna run around and desert them.

Ruh roh, I tried 17 different NA beers from Minnesota breweries for this month’s column. I’m really bad at making this writing gig profitable—I care too much to take shortcuts.

If I were to write the column on MN NA beers I planned to write before the horrors escalated last week, would anyone be interested in reading it? Or have we been getting so many watered down statements from state electeds that we have that angle covered already?

Another thing you should know about the Twin Cities, if you're not here, is that while the mayor and governor tell us to stay calm on TV, our council members and other local electeds are on the street patrolling and protecting neighbors, doing mutual aid, and otherwise serving the community.

Thinking about the folks who say stuff like, “Bullying is *always* wrong—even when the person you’re bullying is a bully 😡” while I dream up creative insults for ICE agents.

“Try GLP-1s” they say, “the side effects are manageable, and the long-term health benefits are significant.”
What they *don’t* tell you is that those benefits are paid out only through the ritual sacrifice of your badonkadonk.
I have no ass, and I must scream. 😞

Due to advances in—and the increased availability of—recording and mixing software since the early 00s, alternative and punk teens today will never know the joy of one of their favorite albums sounding like absolute dogshit.

I wonder how many ICE agents read the Diary of Anne Frank in school and wrote essays about how they’d be the helpers if it ever happened here.

Any landlord who is even thinking of trying to evict a tenant for not paying rent because they have been impacted by ICE actions these past few weeks should be deeply ashamed.

Being tall is great. You get to grab things off shelves, intimidate people accidentally, make men feel insecure, and have doctors ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ whenever you ask about your joint issues, or back pain.

The administration’s response to Renée’s murder is mind boggling. They could have thrown Jonathan Ross under the bus, made it out like a horrific miscalculation by one man, and committed to “more training.” But, they’re so up their own asses they couldn’t do it. They chose obvious lies instead.

The video Jonathan Ross took of his murder of Renée clearly shows that Renée was turning her steering wheel away from him in order to go to his left/her right before she moved forward and before he decided to shoot her. We can see it, he could see it. He still pulled a gun and fired.

Really glad to have had the privilege of voting for Soren. Getting to see him use his position to advocate strongly for our community is wonderful.
In order for our neighbors and communities to feel safe we need to get ICE out of our city and state. I call on elected leaders at every level of government to work alongside the City Council and community leaders towards this goal.

If Trump and Vance were truly confident in their (false) narrative around the ICE killing in Minneapolis, they’d allow a joint investigation with state law enforcement.

Every minute that goes by another mediocre centrist that I normally deride comes out with a legitimately decent response to what’s going on.
It really makes the lack of decent responses from so many others even more egregious.
