Odd to me that there are so many Pinhead Gunpowder tickets available for this week’s show at First Ave. Seems like $35 to see Billie Joe & Co shouldn’t be a hard sell.

This. I know a modest amount about music - been to 40some concerts this year - but I learn about artists I’ve never heard of literally every day. I can’t imagine how someone could think we all know every artist or even every hit.

I posted about that article from the mom’s point of view because I appreciated the sentiment, but I no longer trust any writing accompanied by an AI image.

Happy Friday from West 7th, St Paul 🤭
An orange “road work ahead” sits on the edge of the street, but the word “work” and the first “a” in “ahead” have been blocked by orange tape

There are 4 houses for sale within a couple blocks of us, asking prices $390k, $395k, $440k, and $450k. My neighborhood is fine - reasonably-sized mid-century homes. Those prices are absolutely *absurd*

Foolish scheduling to have both Margo Price and Sierra Farrell on different stages at the same time at the MN State Fair. Seen Margo twice already this year so Sierra wins tonight. But it’s wrong I should have to choose between them!

Opening all the buildings at 7am when the Fair opens instead of waiting until 9am would help a bit.

I was worried about Tame Impala tonight because the new album is a dud. But holy shit it was a *fantastic* show. The crowd was really diverse, too, from parents to teens to everything in between. It was like the Breakfast Club up in that bitch. Gift link to my review:

A wildly diverse crowd of about 18,000 fell under the spell of the Australian psychedelic dance act.

I worked all summer, but tomorrow school starts up again in earnest. That means 9-10 hour days, getting emotionally dragged and physically injured over and over. Coping by buying show tickets and planning trips, go figure. 😈

Fab time crashing the wedding of @billchilds.bsky.social’s kid with @atarifan2600.bsky.social and @normcharlatan.bsky.social. Also talked for like a hour with a small contingent of 20-somethings who were an absolute blast. Gorgeous night. Life is good.

Unrepentant sucker for a gimmick, part x: Strawberry pop tart liquid death iced tea? Start is overly sweet artificial strawberry; hint of black tea in the middle, and then fades to a captain crunch/malt finish? I guess they nailed it. “Natural flavors” in the ingredients is working real hard.
Two stacked boxes, brightly red, white and blue colored.  Obviously taken in a store as there are some shelves in bokeh in the background. 

The boxes advertise Liquid death Pop-Tarts Carnage. Strawberry toaster pastry flavored iced tea.  

There is a picture of the can with a red skull and the pop tarts logo, among other bits of text. 

Limited edition. Naturally.

All the pervert glasses/pervert AirPods talk really has me thinking about schools. There are already stealth recording devices on the market for smaller children to wear, and older children use phones. But higher surveillance in the classroom is gonna cause more teachers to leave education.

Wow. Just found out a story written by my high school bff Elissa will be on MPR’s Selected Shorts. Read by professional actors at a live taping in NYC hosted by Cynthia Nixon, the whole deal. 🎉 Wish Elissa was here to see it. She died 13 years ago. 💔

From the "about you" section of a job posting: "comfortable working in “grey areas” that are constantly changing" Man if that's not a red flag, I don't know what is. They should be honest and say "we don't know what we are doing and neither will you"

Plane nerds, why would a plane return to the departure airport when it is closer to the destination airport? Something mechanical that can't be fixed at the destination? In related news, @amykaynelson.bsky.social and I spent yesterday on a flight to nowhere.

WEST ST. PAUL IS THE BEST SAINT PAUL!
I have decided to suspend the City's contract for Flock Safety automated license plate reader cameras and to remove the cameras from West St. Paul. This decision is effective today. Our crews begin taking the cameras down today, and the removal will be complete within a week. Any future decision to bring this technology back will be a decision for the City Council. This decision is informed by what I have heard directly from the community and from members of the Council, and by a review of how our department has used this system. That review found no indication that we used it for anything other than legitimate local law enforcement.We entered this program as a trial. The purpose of a trial is to learn something and then make a decision, and that is what we have done.This decision is not a reflection on our police officers or on their leadership. They did their jobs the right way, and they used this tool the right way. The concern that has grown around this technology is not about our people. It is about the system itself, and whether a tool like this belongs in West St. Paul before the community understands and trusts it. On that question, the answer right now is not yes. Public trust is the precondition for a tool like this, not an afterthought. Trust depends on understanding, and this technology is complex and moving faster than the public conversation about it. That understanding is not yet there, and until it is, the tool is not worth using.
Stepping back will, on occasion, make our work harder, from identifying people who commit crimes to finding a vulnerable person who has gone missing. I do not say that lightly, and I do not want anyone to think the tradeoff is free. On balance, I have concluded that carrying forward a system the community does not yet trust costs this city more than it returns. We tried it. We learned from it. And this is the right call for West St. Paul right now.

Yup. Austen’s Emma is a story that can be re-interpreted over and over in different time periods and settings, but trying to copy this particular interpretation of it makes zero sense.
