The Midway Menards offered me a magic carpet ride on my visit. Magical.

I never noticed the Bathrobe Lady that February morning. A friend recently asked me, with State Fair Crop Art on his mind, if I had a photo of the photographer taking the photo. It turns out I was taking a video at the exact moment the iconic photo was taken by @leilanavidi.bsky.social 1/3

A screenshot from a video of a photographer taking a now iconic photo. In the foreground are observers wearing winter jackets and holding phones while filming ICE activity. An ICE agent walks through the middle wearing full combat gear with a rifle. There's a hint of a blue bathroom in the foreground.

Since I keep getting texts from Klobochar about supporting the "Protect College Sports Act" I offer the following HOT TAKE: College sports and universities should get a divorce. Get Pro Sports out of learning institutions. Student run club activities only.... Release education from the burden.

SPOILER! I have Silo S3 thoughts and I'm afraid of spoiling. Sorry. Last 2 episodes it became clear the show is underground Star Wars. Boring prequel featuring a romance with an unconvincing male lead. There's a Death Star. A Ragtag group of Rebels led by a Leia-type. (Relation above s4)

Even hotter take: ban personal vehicle parking on the fairgrounds during the Fair, use current parking space to build a giant building for crop art and expand bike parking. I might go then. Ha! bsky.app/profile/john...

Hot take: Crop Art has outgrown the State Fair. The MIA, Walker, or MNHS should be lining up to host a 6-8 week crop art exhibit. Or it becomes MNs best roadside attraction, ala the Corn Palace.

I have a huge favor to ask, can you all help me start a company named The blipblorpX Group? I plan to use my accumen to change the world through synergy. TBH, I just want to buy ALL the sports teams and sell them two years later when we IPO and/or face a Federal audit. Great, thanks.

Add AZ to the CR17 list of players that should still be on the Loons. I remember being so frustrated that Heath played CDM Dotson at left winger when AZ showed a lot of promise. Like, just play this AZ kid, see what he's got. At worst he's a rotation piece. MLS teams need players like this.

I rode RAGBRAI last week! The new MN flag makes for an awesome bike kit and made it so easy to spot folks and start conversations with fellow MN riders throughout the ride. Met some cool people. Fun Ride. AMA!

What if, due to rising sea levels, the French Quarter is relocated to the gigantic surface lot on 1st Ave and 5th St? Ha! On a serious note, pedestrianizing that street makes a ton of sense but that lot needs to be built on for it to really work.

I'm in Montreal and you can just ride your bike around an F1 track. I passed some people on bike shares and some people passed me on 10k bikes. Its the best city in North America for bike riding. Bikes own this town.

MSP road cyclists what are your preferred hilly routes (2k+ elevation over 40-50 miles)? Where can I find rollers and feel safe from traffic? The first two days of RAGBRAI are 3k+ elevation!!! No joke.

The stadium in Foxborough, MA is the worst looking one in the US, even with a grass pitch. Spectators are 3 miles away and there's that weird gap/walkway where seats should be behind the goal and gaps in the mid-deck too. It's odd for the NFL too. I don't understand the design.

In the 2nd quarter, of the "impending blowout", I watched a movie with my son that featured Oscar winners McConaughey, Adrian Brody, Brenda Ficker. Emmy award winners Glover, Lloyd, and Gordon-Levitt. Name it! (No, I didn't miss the final minutes of the Finals game.)

Knicks courtside seats last night was an indictment against America. Think about how much those seats cost and who can afford them. The Politicians: - Treasury Secretary Lutnick (R). - Former Dem WH Chief of Staff Rahm (not a Bulls fan?) - Former Mayor & Billionaire Bloomberg (R > D > I )

What I love about basketball is that every time you think you've seen all the different types of players, a new player emerges that breaks the game. Wemby is joining Jokic, Curry, LeBron, Jordan, Magic, Bird, Kareem, as a player archetype. First of his name.

Am I reading this right? Both Bongi and James were left home, with both Fitz and Boxall in the team sheet. I kind of figured James was holding down(or up) Fitz's spot until he was healthy. But it also probably signals Bongi will be moved in the next window 😭

MSP biking community, I am riding in RAGBRAI this summer and looking to upgrade my Trek Domane Aluminum bike to a used endurance road bike with a carbon frame that is not going to break the budget. Any suggestions on where to look? *I can totally do RAGBRAI on my current bike, just want to explore.

I wrote about how the two-year-old Minnesota state flag has aged particularly well (and why it's so idiotic for backwards cities to double-down on the old one). www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

The Minnesota flag flies more proudly today than at unveiling

The Minnesota flag means more today after becoming a unifying symbol during the ICE occupation — at least for some Minnesotans.

What are your ideas for a new MPLS flag? I think its fair to ask for a new flag with meaningful symbolism, after all the city has been through since Floyd and now with ICE Occupation. Share a sketch or words... Whatcha got? What do you want to see in a flag?

Sometimes, I see a sign reminding me that the Winter Carnival still exists, like 'King Borealis celebratory something'. Maybe next winter, the Carnival can find new life by embracing a narrative around the winter of '26, when neighbors kicked the King's aggressive ICE out. I'd go to that.
