The Vikings are rarely terrible. They just choke when it counts.

Election day is less than a month away, and Flannagan is still running an awful campaign. I'm increasingly confident that she will lose. She needs to create a moment/message that catches fire.

Good news. They have been operating for a number of years and reports only show one child hit. Roll out the red carpet.

I'll say it. I prefer Waymo. I understand what Minneapolis is trying to do, but it's like requiring all cars to have buggy whips.

The Cornell University Jane Doe victim statement is a wild read. Not at all what most people or I likely expected her story to be like. www.tompkinscountyny.gov/files/assets...

Honestly thinking this team will be radically different next year despite being #1 seed. Age and lack of size has caught up with the Lynx.

The Lynx have delivered more titles than any Mn team. They are also about to also deliver the biggest choke ever.

Hrustar @hrustar.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Never thought the Lynx would be good, let alone dominate this year. So I guess i’m not surprised they look old, tired and mediocre now. Cheryl is coach of the year, but also coule be coach of first 1/8 seed upset.

They have never been a serious franchise. The whole operation is run on a shoestring budget, with no interest in winning/competing.

That one terrifies me too. If I had to pick one to win, it would be the US Senate seat. I really want Dems to take control at the federal level.

Whatever it is, I can't afford it, but I will likely buy it.

Starting to believe Angie Craig would have been a better candidate. She sucks, but, she would win. Peggy is looking weak and platformless. She is trying to win on vibes, and Harris showed that isn't enough.

As a happily married man who doesn't date, I have to ask: is it ever fun for singles to date? I read/hear so many miserable stories about modern dating.

It is easy to run on "don't cut." It's much harder to run on "here's how we can fund it all." I'd love to hear her strategy for balancing the budget.

There is a bit of truth. When lumber costs spiked under Biden, building a home likely cost 20-30% more. BUT, none of that had anything to do with Biden policy, nor did Trump do anything to lower those costs. So for builders, yes; for buyers, no.

I hate job destruction, but after using Waymo on multiple trips, I find it the superior product. No tips. Excellent cars. Total control of music. No overly scented environments. No compulsion to chat. None of the driver's personal stuff in the trunk or front seat.

What scares me is that I do see people excited about Tafoya — not just the hard-right Trumpers, but middle-of-the-road folks. Peggy needs to find an angle that gets attention and support.

The anti-car agenda is among the most unrealistic efforts I see daily. It is soaked in self-righteousness and loathing of drivers. Multi-option transportation is, and always will be, the only path.

How do people feel about Peggy Flanagan's chances of winning (as of today)? Personally, I feel pretty low/concerned. Nothing about her candidacy has caught any traction with the public at large.

Opposing perspectives. I enjoy hearing many perspectives, even those I don't agree with, as long as they are rooted in facts. Topics could be political, sports, vacation, anything. But this place feels like it's all from one perspective. Opposing ideas, when offered, get trampled.

Bluesky is an echo chamber of the same people saying the same things to the same people. I had high hopes for this platform, but meaningful growth and diversity of perspectives have never taken root. I miss Twitter.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️
