These freaks are not people in the way that I am, or you are. They’re scum

Continuing to have in-person housing court while bus service is suspended does not rub me the right way

I despise these fucking people. They’re robbing us! They’re stealing what the people paid for!

I am so fucking furious about what these people are doing

Cold, sunny, and snow on the ground is probably the most joyful form of Minnesota weather to me? Sunny and any temp no matter how cold beats grey

I love the Minnesota does not have sports betting apps and want it to stay that way!!

we did it. our rescue aren’t coming to the public safety center www.startribune.com/our-rescue-m...

The person I am seeing had never been to Taco Bell so we went last night but the location we went to was out of potatoes, which is like visiting the Louvre when the Mona Lisa isn’t on display—still impressive, a cultural experience, but not as good as it ought to be

I am morally/professionally opposed to eviction but god it was so frustrating to bike by that place, on some of the best bike infrastructure in the city no less, and know that nothing was being done about all the stolen bikes

Fucking weak. This is not a debate about the impact of the grants (using the word slash? like it’s a budget proposal?), it’s about the freeze being fucking unconstitutional. Say that, say that it’s unconstitutional!

The funding pause orders "are actually the most lawless, brazen, unconstitutional actions that this administration has yet taken, and if sanctioned by a conservative Supreme Court, they would amount to a full disbanding of our system of government." From @ddayen.bsky.social:

Why is the Jazz for Mayor instagram page following only five people, and specifically these five people? You just made the account man, you don’t have to follow Mr. Beast like that

There are too many mayoral candidates. Moratorium on new mayoral candidates please

I’m buying a car for the first time on my own and holy shit is it hard to get a dealership to tell you how much the car costs all in. Do you not know the price? Do you have to divine it under auspicious conditions?

I’m feeling such a marked improvement in not feeling stressed out by phone since deleting all my dating apps and installing a game boy advance emulator to replace (some) social media use. Fretting over strangers less is good for you!

I haven’t been on my bike for 2 and a half weeks because I’ve been on vacation. I’m back on it tomorrow, though, and no better time for it than a forecasted 8 degrees in the morning!

In the same way that you can't have a social democracy that only taxes billionaires and no one else, you can't have a social democracy that requires 20 public meetings before building the most basic public infrastructure.

Flying home on an airline other than Delta or Sun Country is highly correlated with the flight crew saying “Minneanapolis,” which is both incorrect and disrespectful to Saint Paul

Conversation pit at Eero Saarinen’s Miller House (1957) in Columbus, IN

Boy that was not an impressive half for the Hoosiers at all

Flying to Australia this evening, which means I depart the 20th and arrive on the 22nd. Skipping the winter solstice entirely kind of feels like I’m spiting the winter gods but I swear I’m just seeing friends!

Changing “die to make men free” to “live to make men free” in Battle Hymn of the Republic is a bad choice. Stop doing it, various choirs!

This is the same as me dating people who live in Saint Paul

State DOTs are invariably full of people with the same terrible ideas. Fuck this!

I was biking behind a woman for a few blocks who had a baby on board sticker on her car and also no working brake lights, so I told her about the brake lights at a stop light we were both at. She for sure thought I was a weird bike guy but idc because I genuinely want other people to be safe!

It’s wild but not really wild how little appetite I have for national politics after the election. I can barely think about Minnesota politics now. I guess only focusing on local politics and advocacy is still a pretty healthy coping mechanism

I love the nonsense twin cities-themed stores at MSP. “Loring Park Essentials”? Do they sell gay people and reckless driving?

Sitting on a bench waiting for a friend, hoping he sees me right away because of my signature camo jacket

Really interesting distribution on RTO (which is bad & exploitative). I guess mid-level suburban homes are better candidates than higher priced urban homes, although I’d think there’d be more of it in N MPLS given that. Maybe aspirations of upward mobility/leaving the city go along with that too

Affiants love to further sayeth naught. They can’t get enough of that

I fixed a leak in my radiator but only after 12 additional hours of it being leaky and me later realizing my initial fix didn’t actually do anything. That kind of performance is what being mildly handy is all about

Love to be in active bargaining for a union contract when I don’t think the NLRA will be good law in a year

I blame Biden and Merrick Garland. They should have arrested Trump one minute after noon on 1/20/21, locked him up, and swallowed the key. That's how you deal with a fascist putsch. But they played politics as usual. They thought Trump was disgraced. We'll pay for their mistake.

The Dems were such pussy losers to not take care of this immediately after 1/6 happened. They let him get away with it, then the media normalized Trump as a regular republican, and then he won the margins on the many Americans who are "oh no my groceries got a little more expensive" dipshits

I am astounded and disgusted
