Quelle surprise

I declare a thumb war

UPDATE IT IS GOING REALLY BAD

Don’t Rank Frey. Don’t Rank Frey. There’s a ton of hope in Minneapolis. It’s possible to turn the page. But it’s going to require a lot of door knocking, phone banking, and contributions. They may have money but we got the people power. Seeing these posts today gave me hope. ❤️🙏🏽

“DRACULA” can stand for “Don’t Rank Andrew Cuomo’s Useless Lazy Ass” or “Don’t Rank Andrew Cuomo’s Useless Lecherous Ass” because this is a big-tent movement where we believe in ideological diversity

Ever tried to replace a lost passport for a 15 year old who’s out of the country without a legal guardian? IT IS NOT A GOOD TIME.

Tina smith is on the Bernie train. Let’s all call @klobuchar.senate.gov all week.

Reposting this again before the season ends

Can’t imagine a better Mpls Sunday. Dropped the middle at camp, climbed with the husband and youngest, hung out at home, biked to Lake Nokomis and swam/lounged in the sun/made sand castles, cookout with the fam, and impromptu float down Minnehaha Creek as a sidequest on the bike ride home. 🧗‍♂️ 🚲 🏖️ ☀️ ❤️

When I got this notification I thought, what could this possibly be about! LMAO.

amtrak’s marketing team gets it

A simple test to judge if you should object to war. Think of a child you know, someone else’s child. Now think of what it would it take to justify the killing of that one child. If you can’t justify it, you’re against the war. If you can, maybe think about what kind of human being you are.

Nothing is a fucking distraction from anything it’s all the one thing

hey panera can we have the lemonade that kills us again

We have already caved and the AC is on. I confess we are weak. But it sucks outside.

Literally begging you to post about Just Some Stuff. We will see the news I absolutely promise. Twenty people will repost the same exact thing about the news. Only you can post about a turtle you saw

Minneapolis needs to pick a mayor who will direct the Minneapolis police to actively and forcibly oppose ICE.

an easy disguise: all you’d need are some black masks

Crowning achievement as a parent. Almost (but not quite) wish I’d spent the $15 for a legit copy. 😂

Somewhere Dick Cheney is regretting all the effort he put in.

Bike Stolen: Tern HSD S8i e-bike stolen from out front of Blaisdell YMCA between 9:50-11:30am (during yoga class) They cut the chain lock and back wheel lock. Police report filed, hopefully this act was caught on Y’s surveillance camera. Any and all help appreciated.

All of this. The articles about this which I’ve seen just haven’t seemed to pass the sniff test and this thread lays out in better words than I had exactly what seemed off.

"This is America in 2025. It’s time to put away childish things. We need to let go of the youthful idealism that tells us fairy tales like 'we live in a democracy' and 'women are people.'"

"Nationally, half of all Black people say that secure bike parking will allow us to ride more often. Locally, in a densely populated city where a quarter of households report losing at least one bike to theft, the figure is sure to be much higher. Secure parking makes cycling accessible."

"At this point, I’d rather work for Sisyphus. At least if I gave him persistent back pain, he wouldn’t try to deny that it had something to do with the giant boulder. Nor would he expect to be magically cured by an overpriced magnesium supplement and a long weekend upstate."

"Was it really this dumb in 2003" guys they renamed french fries

Lander is the guy who gives the whole thing away: he's extremely experienced, he's successfully promoted development and housing expansion—and yet the people who say those are what matters are throwing their money and grievance behind a washed-up ghoul they trucked in from Westchester

AOC played ball and did everything Pelosi told her and was rewarded by being passed over for a 75-year-old who died four months later. There have now been four House votes this year where Dems lost by the margin of members who died in office. No one has more right to say this than her

Vice President JD Vance (@jd-vance-1.bsky.social‬) is the most-blocked account on Bluesky, less than a day after joining

Thanks, block lists!

if you put your ear to the head of anyone who believed Trump was anti-war, you can hear the ocean

This is a big deal. Stephen Fry is difficult to dismiss as a fringe figure. He's as middle-of-the-road establishment as they come - with the politics and long silence on this issue to match. JKR and her fan club won't just be able to shrug this off. www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/step...

I am so excited for this utterly ridiculous event. Cannot CANNOT wait. 🐈

Paging @chucktingle.bsky.social

Lake Nokomis was HOPPIN’ tonight. Love this city. 😍 (All she wanted for girls’ night was to ride bikes, paddleboard, and eat pizza. Wish granted.)

they’ve gone from “clearly uniformed” to “partially uniformed” to “in no way identifiable” in like three weeks

Aw darn.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

“It should be illegal for you to be mean to me and legal for me to kill you” is basically the Republican platform.

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? many of the people who (quite rightly) opposed the NEA attempting to slip right-wing moralizing into the fine print of federal arts grants had no idea that the last round of right-wing moralizing from the 90s was still hidden in there

I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣
