Did you know Samuel Beckett was analyzed by Bion? (This is a niche post after seeing Waiting for Godot tonight)

Part of why Frey has been able to grift us so hard is because the overwhelming majority of the time, he gets the pass as being the more moderate party. Now the council, the park board, and the BET are all trying to actually moderate the budget and Frey isn’t looking so smart.

The University of Minnesota now offers a completely online and asynchronous MSW program. What even is the point of higher education these days?

“For a median Minneapolis home valued at approximately $348,900, the estimated park board property tax increase under our 5.86% request is approximately $24.50 per year.” A standard, ad-free Netflix viewing experience rose $2 more a month in March, an increase of $24 a year.

Park Board president: Minneapolis parks are among the best in the nation. Fund them accordingly.

The Minneapolis Board of Estimate and Taxation must vote to fully fund the park board’s levy request of 5.86%, which is far below what the city is asking for itself, Park and Recreation Board presiden...

Since it’s no longer just “the lefties” taking issue with Frey’s approach to governance, but the *entire* City Council… maybe, just maybe, Frey is the one with the problem? www.startribune.com/mpd-budget-o...

For a change, everybody in the Minneapolis City Council chambers seemed to agree.

The often-divided council was united last week in its disappointment that Mayor Jacob Frey’s office would not allow police representatives to attend the meeting to answer their questions about budget overspending, sending written responses instead.

Even council members normally aligned with Frey were upset.

I love early voting. And with all the MPS Transformation Plan shenanigans, I'm very happy to put off voting until school board members have publicly declared their support for delaying the vote. Just think — I could have voted for Collin Beachy already, but now I can use this as leverage!

Every good training I go to as a social worker / therapist boils down to "do some fucking critical thinking here," but, sadly, critical thinking is rarely something that is taught by graduate programs or supervisors

This adorable asshole has increased his biting and scratching, including with my kiddo. Good thing I have pet insurance so I can see the equivalent of a pet psychiatrist (💸💸💸) for him to probably end up on the same meds I’ve been on

This is why AI is an abomination. It prevents incredible flyers like this from being made.

Flyer made by two thirteen-year-olds advertising yard work, babysitting, per walk and feeding, “and so much more.” Includes the tagline: “Two broke kids with a DREAM.”

I finally have time to go on a proper vacation for the first time in five years. I only have five-ish days. Cabo? Sedona? San Francisco / Bay Area? NYC? Somewhere else? I will be traveling solo and would love to have a couple touch points (whether people or events) to orient myself. Suggestions???

I had a spidey sense @jamisonwhiting.bsky.social was going to be the Jacob Frey council member from 2014 and he absolutely is, right down to the "I'm reasonable, I'm pragmatic" lies that cover up inexcusable votes that are not reasonable nor pragmatic

I have emailed my vet, I know of a great cat behaviorist, but I am wondering if anyone has dealt with their cat constantly attacking their feet? Like dozens of times a day. Not biting, just nipping. Hudson started this about a week ago and it’s driving me crazy!

In 2019 I let our operations manager know that part of the reason I quit my job as humanities editor was because two senior male academics harassed me. I let my bosses know about the harassment with one academic at the time it happened in 2018. Both men continue to publish with the press in 2026.
