#OnThisDay Oct 8 1926: The Heights Theatre opens on Central Avenue NE in Columbia Heights, MN. Built by brewery heir Arthur Gluek as a real estate venture during Prohibition, the small Beaux Arts theater was designed by famous Minneapolis architects Liebenberg & Kaplan.

@tmbg.bsky.social Dear Messrs. Giants, I've been a fan for 35 of my 41 years. Thank you for visiting the Twin Cities so often. I made it to three shows this year, including a box seat at the Fitz. I was very impressed by the jazz rendition of "O, Do Not Forsake Me". Thank you for always innovating.

I've had to get one every two years for the last ten (including twice in one year because they couldn't see everything) because of medical conditions and medications increasing cancer risk factors. I tell people they're really not that bad. Plus they give you the good drugs.

Yeah, in retrospect, there's probably a reason Integra Hellsing was my first ever cosplay.

Different flavor of Con Crash this year. No depression, just physical exhaustion and angry bones.

I mean, I couldn't find quite the right tank top. But you're one of a handful of LGBTQ+ streamers that have been an inspiration on my own journey of self transformation, so I wanted to do a little tribute.

This is only partly correct. In fact, David Beckham get sent back in time to the medieval Philippines to end religious prosecution *and kill Godzilla,* and in doing so falls in love with St. George’s daughter, St. George Junior. The Jawas from Star Wars are also key players, except they’re hot.

My costume for #CVG2026 really came together this year. I couldn't wear it around for very long, because it was quite difficult to hear and see, but I hope to fix some of those problems before the next convention.

No, though I should have done. Especially when I tried to make a raisin-free version with Nutella. Those just kind of exploded.

Somebody posted a link to the end result, but I'm curious how one is supposed to get there. "third letter" seems reasonable, but I couldn't recognize enough of the games to get the last two words.
