accurate (Michigan kid who's lived in MPLS for a long time), and also kinda funny because I lived in ATL for 5 years and "y'all talk funny" was one of the first things I heard when I moved there 🙃
dialect heat map of the US with red areas concentrated around Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, and blue areas concentrated around the southern USTop three most similar dialect cities: Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Seattle. Top three least similar dialect cities: New Orleans, Houston, Atlanta. Things that gave me away as being from Michigan: the night before Halloween is devil's night, rubber soled athletic shoes are guy shoes, sweetened carbonated beverage is pop, and the water dispenser at school is a drinking fountain

Walker Jenkins hit his first career homer off a position player. Jenkins pulled a blazing 37 mph Zach McKinstry pitch down the right-field line for a two-run blast.

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art
A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign 

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”

I skipped "stayed a while" and counted anywhere I've vacationed as "visited" because those trips were all a week or less

Dense urban corridors are for housing, parks, efficient transit, thriving businesses, walking and biking trails, cafes and restaurants, and places to live and breathe and be, not energy-sucking noisy space fillers that give nothing back to the community. Yeah, I'll NIMBY the shit out of this

I am once again begging people to realize that elections have consequences. If Klob loses, she will keep her senate seat and go on with her life. Meanwhile, Demuth will make life in Minnesota a living hell for all of us. She will undo all of the progress we’ve made.

The shit you’re seeing with ICE, and police forces in general, is what America has been doing to Black folks since the beginning. None of us are free until all of us are free.

Demuth: GOP caucus directed YouTuber to Minnesota. A professor explains why it went viral
University of Minnesota media law professor Jane Kirtley says the new viral video is flashy but absent of facts to back up its claims.

In response to today’s White House Executive Order (EO) on vaccines, parents should continue to rely on evidence-based immunization recommendations developed by experts. Today's EO does not change the scientific evidence supporting childhood immunization. That data has been built over decades.

So basically an adversary could attack any blue state and Trump wont care because he doesn't see himself as the President of the "United States" Without a doubt the most worst president we've ever had. Anti-republic, anti-democratic, anti-constitutional just devoid of basic dignity

My house was built in 1914, and it contains some art from the 1920s that my grandmother produced, some midcentury things that I inherited, and a couple of Petoskey stones that I picked up (those were formed 350,000,000 years ago)

I remember Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow, Queen, and various soundtracks: Saturday Night Fever, Star Wars, Hair, A Star Is Born (70s). I regret not taking the album collection after my dad passed but I did nab his copy of Bowie's Young Americans at some point before that

It takes 1.28 seconds for a message to reach us from the Moon. It takes as little as 35 minutes from Jupiter. It takes as little as 4.5 hours from Pluto. It takes at least 6-12 months from NYT reporters, plus $35 for the book containing it.

If your 80-year-old grandpa was insisting that the reason the backyard pool has algae in it is because terrorists are trying to make him look bad and demanding the police arrest somebody, you'd put him in a senior care facility before the end of the day.
