Unexpected #LocalAngle Ok, I’m enjoying the book and I like this author’s work very much. But I was unaware I grew up in the suburbs…

Hibbing mentioned! (Incorrectly)

This passage from Patrick Radden Keefe’s otherwise excellent book London Falling describes Bob Dylan’s Iron Range hometown as “conventional suburban”…

There’s a hearse and a taco truck at the Midway Menards.

Fireworks randomly going off during the day in Midway just now. For a brief second I wondered…oh shit, did it happen???

I’m a 44 year old midwestern cisgender white guy dad and business owner and supporting my trans friends, neighbors, and colleagues is not at all controversial. In any way. Period. Fuck anyone who says otherwise. Pick a motherfucking side @democrats.org It ain’t that hard.

People were convinced the taconite mines on the Range and the port of Duluth were targets…because I guess terrorists were going to follow a WWII playbook and knock out our ability to produce steel for tanks or some shit.

A-Line to the Fair, as is now family tradition.

For Transparency: Deleted post asking about Fed vehicles. Since what I saw is likely related to this and I don’t want to mislead.

I love Behind the Bastards generally anyway, but the Percy Fawcett episodes are gold. Legit lol’d a few times on the treadmill.

I know most of soccer BlueSky skews middle aged EPL fan, but guys, you’re missing out on the good shit in Latin America. Like, Boca has a 20 yo player who just cracked the first team named “Jagger” Herrera because, well…

Facundo “Jagger” Herrera - a Boca youth system player who just made his debut for the first team.

Very satisfying to check up on trees you planted/transplanted years ago. My babies are getting so big! Tall enough to be out of deer danger now. 2500 trees planted or transplanted here since 2019.

18” white pine i transplanted from a roadside ditch after the 2019 tornado. Now 8+ ft tall.

Deer kept trying to eat/kill this white pine I transplanted from the roadside but years of bud capping finally paid off and it’s now tall enough for the terminal bud to be out of their reach. Success!

I have a set of the original plans from 1996 if anyone wants to recreate it! 😝

Hand drawn plans from the buildout of Figlio in Uptown. Dated 1996.

Get yourself a neighborhood that shuts down the street to have communal dinners. You’re flawed, Saint Paul, but I love you…

I drive past Bro-Tex every single day. I remember the agents who zip tied @katiestp.bsky.social. I remember the agents who lied to my face about where they were taking her. And most importantly I remember the faces of the immigrant workers we saw getting stuffed into cargo vans and taken away.

FUCK ICE is a winning message. And I don’t think many in the media realized how broad support for that message really is. Like, who did you think the Lutheran ladies holding clandestine no-phones ICE resistance and mutual aid meetings in church basements were gonna vote for???

Having one of most storied clubs in the western hemisphere play a competitive match against the Loons in our own backyard was fun. Wish more Saturday morning EPL types understood the significance of that.

Allianz security and SPPD being real assholes tonight. Several people ejected for…not much of anything from what I could tell. Embarrassing shit @mnufc.com

SPPD and stadium security kicking a guy out for partially standing on the railing as far as I could tell?
