Montreal is a great city

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Approaching a priest and seeking absolution in the bathroom cuz you feel bad about doing a fascism is wild

As ever, it is road construction season in old Saint Paul

I feel like we don’t talk enough about how Metro Transit has a mascot named Skip Traffic.

Joe Jonas, Cargo Bike Dad, welcome to @thewaroncars.bsky.social!

My haters and my rivals are yelling at me about Quebecoise sovereignty but I can't possibly hear them over the deafening sound of these tires. Attache ta tuque! - I'm on a Metro train in Montreal and it honest to god smells like burnt popcorn

what the left isn't telling you is that if he wins Zohran Mamdani will be in control of New York's nuclear weapons

this post reminded me, masked vigilantes were such a scourge that Congress made it a felony to "go in disguise upon the public highway" for the purpose of interfering with the free exercise of constitutional rights in the Enforcement Act of 1870

When the Spruce Tree Center in St Paul was built in 1988, its controversial design inspired a new generation of architects across the Americas. Here, in Montreal, an architect responds to BRW's iconic design with an inversion of the pyramid shape, a comment on its impact on the built form of the era

Come to my pad, we can

The Donna Kruger effect is when you are convinced your disco karaoke performance is better than anyone else's

My haters and my rivals are scarfing their bagels and slurping their espressos but they will never catch me at this rate - I'm on a VIA Rail to Montreal

Training myself to never make this mistake by calling all of the women in my life "Your Honor"

The Donut Trap’s brick and mortar (I *think*) opens today. www.thedonuttrap.com

Ever increasing in efficiency - it used to take them like 40 minutes of operation to blow these things up

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Interesting things about Reddit: r/Minneapolis and r/twincities seem to actively hate knowing about the quality of toilet paper at local establishments. r/stpaul seems to be the same, but not enough data to say for sure yet. r/saintpaul GETS IT

When the man selling you a hat has a dire apocalyptic warning, call that a Millinerian

Fuck Chuck Schumer. This is a direct ripping away of rights from transgender people. Our lives are not a distraction.

Now is a great time to donate directly to trans people and their families. If you’re in MN, I highly recommend a donation to TC Trans Mutual Aid and/or Transforming Families

Solidarity and love to any trans person seeing this You matter, your life matters, your journey matters. We will outlast this evil.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is VERY unpopular. No surprise when it kicks MILLIONS off of health care and food assistance to pay for tax giveaways for billionaires. Republicans are trying to ram it through by July 4th. NOW is the moment to fight back. Call your senator.

Didn't realize police could commandeer a home.
