Alex @cono.bsky.social · 7hI do not like Marjorie Taylor Greene, but this is absolutely insane from Trump. Horrendous. And it will fly completely under the radar amid everything else going on. 135524
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I know this is kind of a played-out answer, but it seriously had me shook at an early camp-out. The art is elite. Also remember being really scared during ET. 140
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Starting to make more sense to me why I saw several disturbing shirts/patches like this at the airport last weekend from guys who looked like they were cosplaying Chris Kyle 000
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Saw a guy with this patch on his backpack at the airport today. Wearing something like this should probably put you on some kind of domestic terrorism watch list. What is the implication here, exactly...? 000
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The 2020 CDD was a disaster for enrollment. They lost twice as many students as they projected. Most notably, IMO, a LOT of SW kids were unsuccessfully rezoned to North and left MPS. Two of the new plans would reverse that, but damage has been done. stopthetransformation.com/the-last-red... 100
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Before the plan was detailed on Tuesday, I had assumed that closures were needed. We were often told (I worked @ MPS for 9 years) half-full buildings burned money with heating, staffing, etc. ... but nobody has said how much $ this plan will save. Admin actually said it wouldn't do much. 100
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 09/09/2026You’ll never believe this — but the XX XY shirt company is a money grab, funded by rich oil execs, ran by a woman who went crazy during COVID. 000
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Where's the best place in the Twin Cities to get a cheap old trophy? Like this: 000
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Someone come buy this at St. Paul Buffalo Exchange. Elite “up north” comfy hoodie. Just a little too short for me. $24 and basically fits an L 020
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 28/08/2026There are so many bad things that it's easy to forget the original Springfield Haitian saga where the pet-eating hoax was spread by Vance/Trump and, despite being 1000% not true, their community had bomb threats to schools, grocery stores and health clinics. Just insane levels of bullying/racism 000
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 27/08/2026RIP Peter Cullen, voice actor for Optimus Prime since 1984. Piece of my childhood right here. And, recently, my five-year-old became a huge fan of the character and original G1 series/movie. 020
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 20/08/2026These are the thoughts of seven of my journalism students regarding AI in general and AI being used in a high school setting. There are nine total students in the class, so the majority of them shared these feelings. 130
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 18/08/2026My dad sent me a photo of a real-life "Up" situation in Winona. "The new Kierlin art gallery and performance space next to the public library. Note the one guy who refused to sell his house for the project." 010
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 15/08/2026One of my five-year-old’s absolute favorite things is leaving his most precious Lego creations on the ground for anyone to step on, then throwing a fit when they get inevitably trampled or kicked lol 010
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Huge opportunity in our local “Buy Nothing” group today: two-year-old sauces 000
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 04/08/2026honey, I've been worrying lately that your jeans aren't rated defender-grade flex, you know... just in case something happens 110
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 04/08/2026The “tactical” gear industry knows no bounds when marketing to gullible customers with disposable income. A “ballistic beer jacket” in case your beer gets shot at. Dude use the free koozie that’s just like sitting in your garage, you don’t need every item in your life to be prepped for an assault 8142
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Discovered this pod by @jaredlholt.bsky.social and @michaelehayden.bsky.social essentially about the various right-wing social media losers, and I just realized how MUCH has happened since about 2015 and how easy it is to forget. And all of this cultural rot is pretty much enabled by social media. 2245
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Every single time I look at Threads, it has some kind of ragebait at the top with a 7-to-1 ratio 011
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Good stuff from @jonkrawczynski.bsky.social on his Reddit AMA. Here were some of the tidbits I found interesting. www.reddit.com/r/timberwolv... 040
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Hanging out at Second Chance Recycling this morning. Dropped off an old kids mattress to be gutted and properly disposed. I feel better about it! In NE/Hennepin area. 000
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 03/07/2026This is truly one of the most pointless columns I’ve ever read in my life 110
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 02/07/2026This story is family lore for us and has led to many track runners. 010
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 28/06/2026This is probably my favorite name of any business. A golf course, in Northeast Wisconsin at the intersection of County Roads X and C, is called “Club XtoC” (Ecstasy). Just incredible. 010
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Oh my god it happened. I’m sitting at kindergarten basketball camp trying to process this 010
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Poked around Twitter looking at NBA draft stuff, and man there are a lot of TERRIBLE anti-Connelly takes on there from “Wolves fans.” The first two here are so incredibly bad lol 000
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 23/06/2026I wake up to this, like clockwork. Bill was about to go to bed last night before seeing the Giannis trade, then assembled his troops and ripped a 60-minute emergency pod. For the love of the game. He’s so pure. 020
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 19/06/2026In case Wolves fans were curious about the 2038 draft, it looks like somebody did a bit of early research 110
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Unspeakably bad comments on this post, I wish I didn’t click on it. Somewhere along the way, a lot of people started being extremely cruel online to our fellow humans as a hobby. 000
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Chalk this up as another thing I excitedly introduced to my five-year-old only to receive a very lukewarm response. Not sure how anyone doesn't get hyped by "Whoop There It Is," but we'll keep working on it 030
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 13/06/2026No wonder they were blasting cigs back then at such a high rate. They used to cost as much as a Pepsi? 010
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Threw 15 on the Knicks when they were down 27. Hey that’s pretty fun! I was a New Yawker for about an hour baby 020
Alex @cono.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Absolute gut-punch to find out that the LEGO store my kid is newly-obsessed with is potentially evil. 030
