My best trip to ALDI yet. I was gifted a free cart by a friendly shopper. Now I have a second ALDI quarter! Stocked up on the essentials like chicken thighs ($1.55 per pound), salad kits, and plenty of dark chocolate. Total receipt was $123.46. Whole milk had gone up from $2.16 to $2.95 per gallon!

The time to be loud is now. We're honored that Maggie Rogers joined us alongside other incredible musicians for the Creatives for Freedom concert, a night of music that benefitted the work of the ACLU.
Pink and orange graphic with a quote that reads "Supporting the ACLU feels like a natural extension of the things I care about — connection, creativity, and community. Especially in a moment where civil liberties feel fragile or under threat, I’m grateful to have the opportunity to lend my voice to this essential cause." The quote is attributed to Maggie Rogers, Grammy Award-nominated producer, songwriter, and performer speaking on her involvement in the Creatives for Freedom concert benefitting the ACLU

We should develop and fund a plan to reconstruct this predictably dangerous street with traffic calming measures, maybe throw in a nicer bike trail while we’re at it.

Five landscapers with gasoline leaf blowers is just a little excessive, I think.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Tonight, I made dinner with my friend. I harvested from the garden, washed and chopped fresh kale, green onions, and cilantro. Then we were cooking away for two hours. At three hours in, she asked me to take a picture of the bounty. Then I think she saw the photo on her phone, and then... Instagram!

I could not pass Calculus 3 in a career (economics) that really doesn’t use calculus for everyday purposes because most of the calculus theoretical work is bullshit.

I custom coded a new web font for just these icons that is burned into the CSS of my website. This bespoke approach allows me to pull up the icons without having to go to a third-party server. I am very happy with the results! It only makes a marginal difference, but it was a nice little project.

In other Hennepin Ave news some of us who were involved in project advocacy had our own little ribbon cutting a few weeks ago. The new street is a reminder that trying is cool & sometimes pals doing a lot of smart, consistent, unpaid work (I did just a small bit) results in something great

A potato has been named after Prince.
U's Paisley Purple potatoes strive for 'Honeycrisp' success Path to broader appeal is long road to hoe. By COLE REYNOLDS For the Minnesota Star Tribune In a 1998 interview, the Spice Girls' Mel Basked the Artist Formerly Known as Prince what she should call him. He decided on "Spud," but could only offer a coy smile as an explanation. Twenty-five years later, it looks more like a premonition. Geneticists at the University of Minnesota have created a new purple and yellow potato, naming it the Paisley Purple after the artist's Chanhassen studio. It's at a handful of local farmers markets and on the tasting menu at Alma, a fine-dining restaurant in Minneapolis. Andas the "Purple Rain" musical ends its run at downtown's State Theatre, the potato serves as a starchy ode to the late artist. But like the musical and its namesake artist, the Paisley Purple faces a long road out of the Twin Cities. Grocery stores SEE PURPLE POTATO ON E6' MATTI SPRAGUE • Provided by Alma The Paisley Purple potato was developed by the University of Minnesota and is on the menu at Alma.
