I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'll believe that fuel is too expensive when I don't routinely see people parked up in their cars with the engine running.

If people are already thinking this team reps Atlantic City, you've done bad branding. Also, stop trying to make Atlanta happen, it sucks

Your regular reminder that the bloated police budget takes money away from habitat restoration, tree planting, new park construction, stormwater mgmt, new bike lanes, transit, libraries, creation of a transformative green youth corps, schools, sidewalks, rental assistance, EDI and on and on forever

I have criticisms of Mayor Wilson and think we should abolish SPD. But this proposed budget is not a cop budget, if anything it fulfills our legal obligations per SPOG contract and stagnates funding. The City Council will be the ones to increase SPD funding

I remember before Woke, you could ride 18mph+ on a Lime Scooter. Now you can barely hit 15mph. Cuz of Woke

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 can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

Investigators cautioned that the assessment was preliminary. There were no indications that any water supply had been rendered unsafe to drink.

The political double standard from U.S. media that Mayor Wilson can delay a press conference and face a week+ of severe backlash questioning her competency while Trump actively blames a U.S. state for civic infrastructure cyberattacks and it’ll be old news in 8 hours… it’ll make your head spin.

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

When the devil defies odds, do not celebrate. The magnitude of malice may be awe inspiring, but all it serves is to entrance. Lucifer, in his beauty, is as alluring as he is deadly. Do not trust in his benevolence, fear his conquest.

Alright, nobody asked, and this has the potential to be offensive but here it is: you've got to create and stoke deeply partisan rivalries based on identity, all the things American soccer wants to avoid.

Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my dear friend Satan, the Prince of Lies. Though we often disagreed about matters such as the appropriate role of torture in the afterlife, I will most remember how his quick wit and affable nature made our weekly golf outings a ritual. He will be missed.
