Who would you like to see run for Senate now that @smith.senate.gov has decided to call it a career: If Tim Walz doesn't run for Governor- it'll be an interesting two years for the DFL!

Met @normcharlatan.bsky.social in real life last week. Never meet your heroes.

Excited to write for @amykaynelson.bsky.social and @nextavenue.bsky.social !!!

Taking a tour of people to Greece this fall - October 12 for 11 days! It's group travel, I've done this in Banff and Portgual - it's a blast. I was skeptical of the group thing, but I love how everything is taken care of. Plenty of time to do your own thing too. gateway.gocollette.com/link/1264052

I've updated with notes on the 100 Revival employees who were told just this morning... and the gift cards that were for sale even over the last couple days.

Good news for Sean Sherman and his North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems non-profit: NATIFS has bought the former Seward Co-op Creamery at 26th & Franklin and they'll open a counter-service BBQ called ŠHOTÁ. Will "eliminate colonial ingredients like wheat flour, cane sugar, and dairy"
