Lifelong resident of the Twin Cities. I believe that trans rights are human rights, Black lives matter, immigrants are welcome here, and all the other things that shouldn't be controversial but here we goddamn are.

A screenshot of a tumblr post by prokopetz, who is on bsky but I'm not going to tag in case he's still blissfully unaware of this specific batch of wtf: "Sure, sometimes a post will give you a glimpse of the passing shadow of some colossal online discourse you've never heard of, but not all such posts are on equal footing: some submerged discourses are more intelligible than others. Sometimes you see a shadow pass beneath your little boat and it's obviously just a whale, and sometimes you see a shadow pass beneath your little boat and it's only once it's gone that it occurs to you "wait... were those tentacles?"

Hockey season is back, baby.

A fight on the ice at the Wild/Stars game. An indeterminate number of Wild players and two refs are piled up on a Dallas player, whose feet are sticking out in a rather Looney Tunes fashion from the bottom of the scrum. Behind the main fight, a Wild player and a Stars player appear to be having a siblings-in-the-backseat slapfight while an official looks on. Two more opposing players in the foreground are doing the "avoid the penalty box" hug.

You know what does more damage to your car than quarter-sized hail? Getting rear-ended by someone who didn't expect anyone would be self-absorbed enough to stop their car in the middle of a highway. NGL tho, Max's valiant attempts at not swearing are pretty hilarious.

Tweet from Max Velocity:
"WHAT THE FLIPPTY FLOPPITY ARE WE DOING IN MINNESOTA RIGHT NOW?!?!

Over a dozen cars parked under an overpass due to tornado warning right now. DO NOT DO THIS!"
Attached is a shot from a MNDOT traffic cam showing a number of cars on a divided highway stopped in both directions under an overpass.

A second tweet from Max Velocity:
"OH MY GOD IT GOT WORSE

all of this for some pea-sized hail. WHAT ARE WE DOING MINNESOTA?!?!?!"

Attached is another MNDOT traffic cam shot, this one showing a part of 694 with cars stopped under an overpass completely blocking traffic in both directions. The Northbound lanes are backed up beyond the camera's view.

Maybe I just always wanted to be a Ghibli character?

A Subaru Sambar, a hilariously tiny and adorable microvan in cheery orange with a white top and trim.

Another Sambar, this one in pastel robins-egg blue with friendly round headlights.

Jeremy: "This is the farthest I've been from Reid in a while and it's not helping." Reid:

The Artemis II crew onstage at Johnson Space Center. Christina Koch and Victor Glover are still seated, laughing as Reid Wiseman becomes Jeremy Hansens personal space invader.

Jeremy Hansen, standing with a mic in one hand and the other on his hip as he grins down at Reid Wiseman, seated with one hand on Jeremy's knee, giving the crowd a goofy smile.

So I'm just not going to be able to stop crying about these people any time soon. Got it.

A tweet from Reid Wiseman: "PS- it's hard not to love this little guy. I can't let Rise out of my sight... currently tethered to my water bottle."
with a photo of the Artemis II mascot/zero-g indicator Rise, a small smiling moon, that is indeed tethered to the handle of a light green water bottle with a capital R on it. Rise and the bottle between a black backpack and a black box with gold lettering and what I assume is a well-deserved bottle of Dom Perignon in it.

Why is there a plane registered to DHS buzzing around the landing site? Are they waiting to nab the Canadian astronaut?

A screenshot showing a 2021 Beechcraft Super King airplane, callsign TROY314, registered to the Department of Homeland Security, flying in a holding pattern by the Artemis II Integrity splashdown site off the coast of California a little south of San Diego.

*HAPPY SCREAMING*

Spotted at CapCom in Mission Control:

What seems to be a tiny pastel rainbow colored plush unicorn wearing a black domino mask, looking right at the camera from its hiding place behind CapComs leftmost monitor. Who is she?

other personal highlights for me: Victor Glover very carefully posing Rise with the mic ahead of the press event, the eclipse glasses selfie, Victor cuddling a cargo bag, and Reid Wiseman looking like every dad before a road trip ever.
