I’ve come around from “he’s taken the weekend off to golf” to “something fuckys afoot and the goblins in mordor are panicking”
Health experts have been sounding the alarm for years on Candida auris, a drug-resistant fungus that’s hard to diagnose, hard to eliminate and hard to treat once it takes hold. The deadly fungus, also called C. auris, has nearly tripled this summer. thehill.com/policy/healt...
Strib letter-writers go after Bluesky hero @elitalksmpls.bsky.social for his takedown of the JCRC’s Steve Hunegs. My take is that guys like Hunegs who say they oppose actions of Netanyahu’s government without doing anything serious to stop genocide amounts to platitudinal “thoughts and prayers.”
We're getting a little aurora borealis action...it's my delight of the night #DelightOfTheDay
Nobody had a better Labor Day weekend than Uptown icon Ryan Brown. He made it look effortless at Float Fest 2. But it wasn't all fun and games. Several attendees popped their tubes despite vigorous hand flailing.
“It gets real at 50.” The latest from @drtedj.bsky.social:
One of the great character actors in all of movies, and in the truest sense -- whenever he turned up in a movie, no matter the size of the role, it immediately kicked up a notch. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
Fans of American professional soccer are passing around the same banner from city to city over the last few years to End Gun Violence. People should march, and hold banners, and scream and shout about this. But I can't even talk about it anymore. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax5K...
I will probably never have an experience like this again in my lifetime, so I will always treasure my summer with this family of burrowing owls. 💕🪶
This is less than ideal.
Really bummed mum & I binged our way through 19-2 and there aren't any more seasons left. Countdown is almost over. Irish Blood is sloooooow. Trying to find shows is proving difficult.
OK, that was a very disappointing episode of #Countdown. Usually they're packed with a ton of info. Season Finale coming up and they are going to have to wrap fast.
Graham Greene, the prolific Oscar-nominated Canadian First Nations actor, has died at age 73 in a Toronto hospital after a long illness. A pioneer for Indigenous actors in Hollywood, Greene made his debut in the 1979 Canadian drama series “The Great Detective” and in the 1983 film “Running Brave.”
This could be a good candidate for song of the summer.
With this meaningless win over Dallas, Lynx cost themselves any chance at the most lottery balls (they have Chicago’s pick). Sky cannot have worse 2-year record than Wings now. Wings will get the most chances to duplicate 2024’s lottery win. Lynx in a great but not clinched position for 2nd-most.
frankly i am already tired of explaining very basic stuff about life in the dmv to people who live hundreds or thousands of miles away, yet act as authorities on the area. either help us or leave us alone.

My aurora-watching app just pinged me to notify me that northern lights might be visible within the next hour in the Minneapolis area. IT'S HAPPENING, PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!
Once again, another gorgeous sunset from Minneapolis, the city of sunsets.

The Chrostowski family, from Cleveland, Ohio, traveled to Minneapolis to cook pancakes for the community of Pearl Park, near where the shooting occurred. #GoodNews
I'll be a guest of honor with @naomikritzer.bsky.social at www.diversicon.org in Plymouth, MN (near Minneapolis/St. Pau) this weekend.
Did a short Labor Day weekend road trip to Minneapolis. Great time, such a cool city. This pic is from a walk in early morning mist.
Save downtown Minneapolis with this one weird trick: Make the entire former Dayton's building into a shrine/emporium honoring the mummified monkey www.mprnews.org/story/2018/0...
Marched with Minneapolis neighbors today for gun reform!
No lie I have lived, worked, & spent time all over the world and Minneapolis remains the Home I chose. Maryland is beautiful & growing up in TX & Mexico was a life I wouldn’t trade for anything but Minneapolis… Minneapolis became part of my soul 💜

I have been working with a group of like-minded transit enthusiasts to organize and build a grassroots base of transit riders in Minneapolis. We are holding a community conversation this next Friday to talk about next steps. Anyone is welcome to come and it is a free event. #ConnectedCityMPLS
the minneapolis airport is so quirky they play birds chirping to signify the baggage carousel is gonna start moving
I would have thought a smart car had parking assist and crab parking maybe. When I tried to learn to drive once I found out I was actually ok at parallel parking. Once I figured out a couple cheats about what to line up where, I could do it ok, but driving not so much. Never got a license. LOL.
Well kitchen floor may have to be scrapped, Bissel Floor Scrubber won't charge. Was plugged in but somehow not charging. Did NOT need that this week.
OK, Going to try & get this achy body to scrub the kitchen floor & tidy up the clutter for the cleaning lady tomorrow.
Yep, the donations have been many. I have also been selling a lot (unemployed for 2 years).
I am now at the point of getting rid of everything except art & usable objects, well, except my teddy & clothes, clothes will be my last purge. I worked retail so I have some awesome stuff, vintage collection too. But getting better at those too.
I could seriously open a stationary store with all the gift wrap and greeting cards, thank you cards, note cards in this house. LOL.
I am in the process of doing that now. 50 years of hoarding & trying to rid myself of my own crap at the same time. Like what the hell do I need this shit for?
We’ll never recreate that brief golden age when we had a few million users, most of them good posters, and an ethos of blocking rather than engaging but it’s still so much better than all of the alternatives imo.
Even the poolside cat is laughing.
Saddened to hear the passing of Graham Greene at the age of 73, probably best known for his role in Dances with Wolves but was in I Will Stand No More Forever; Die Hard, With a Vengeance, Longmire and many other roles. #RIP
On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
#TaxChurches
250 people at today’s Workers Over Billionaires rally, in our town of 20,000. Gotta work on getting more like 600 next time, but an okay showing.
Folks. Buy your kid a flipping bike.
Just like I like it!
Both Mr. Griffin and Mr. Pot are deceaséd now. It's too late to rectify history's wrongs, sometimes. 😭🪦😭
oh yeah
Minneapolis rally pics
For anyone still at the Fair, flu shots are free in the Education Building
i can't imagine why congestion has gotten so much worse everywhere. surely it has absolutely nothing to do with the average car on the road being significantly larger than 30 years ago.
That's it! Fernandez/Williams just dominated that match! Wow. What a great pair. What a moment. #USOpen
I used to love going out on Labour Day weekend.
YES! Venus just killed it with those shots. #USOpen
We now know the whole cast that will be bringing "Purple Rain" to the stage in October. #PurpleRain #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2025/08/meet...
OK if you're not watching the #USOpen women's doubles you should. The Fernandez/Williams team has had some OUTSTANDING points to grab an advantage in this second set.
No river rafting or hillbillies needed (dueling tubas).
I saw too many stories on the news or PBS or something about the horse. Talking about the Hippodrome & the famous horse & the train line & all that.
Future generations will take this midblock crossing and median refuge for granted, not understanding the blood, sweat, and tears expended, or the idiots who wailed "if you pedestrianize this street, we're cancelling our pedestrian fair!"
On the Council, I’ll keep fighting to ensure our schools, students, and hardworking educators have the support they need to truly thrive.
The best part of any State Fair is when somebody gets to learn that Dan Patch was a horse
Holy shit did @iamunion.bsky.social just endorse @grahamformaine.bsky.social?????
Need to financially recover from my Minnesota trip first 😭
How many corporations, lawmakers and individuals stand between you and the food you eat?
Last night dreamed there were chicks—baby chickens—in my bedroom. I guess it really is MN State Fair season if it gets into my dreams.
A re-release of "The Clampdown" or someone doing a cover of it.
what does blueskyism even mean? pegging your abolitionist partner while watching alf porn in your rent stabilized apartment?
I’m usually doing it as well so, limited observational data, but Minneapolis has to be the most “getting out of town for the long weekend” city in the world.
You can drop them at the Aliveness Project at 38th & Nicollet tomorrow if you don't get any takers. They would love them for the Food Shelf or to use for their Food Kitchen serving meals.
Anyone in south Minneapolis need some lemongrass leaves?
Yes! Venus & Fernandez take first set. #USOpen
On the right day South Minneapolis is the most beautiful place on earth
North Minneapolis
IDK who needs to hear this but plane tickets from MSP to Dublin are currently under $400
This is a REALLY bad time for a pain flare. I have so much more to do today. This sucks.
We have reviewed 2 events offshore of Kodiak Island: a M4.2 at 11:09 am, 7 miles deep & 83 miles SSE of Old Harbor, & a M4.4 at 11:18 am, 6 miles deep & 88 miles SSE of Old Harbor. For more info please go to earthquake.alaska.edu/event/025b7u... earthquake.alaska.edu/event/025b7u...
CEO's gonna CEO...Especially when they're men.
So how does that work, Russia invades Ukraine, unprovoked, intentionally to steal territory that does not belong to them, and it is the West's fault?
It's... *snif* It's so beautiful
This is the other one, you know the one that didn't impact a catholic school in the rich neighbourhood so was completely forgotten.
Labor Day is Minneapolis history. From mill workers to the 1934 Teamsters strike, our city helped shape America’s labor movement. Today I am honoring every worker who keeps our city running. As mayor, I will always stand with labor. #jazzformayor #100daysofjazz
What is in the bags? Cash, stolen loot? Secret Files? Inquiring minds...
Trying to understand the physics of how Putin does it with disloyal aides
Couldnt STAND how these assholes literally OCCUPY Flatbush, E flatbush, crown heights every labor day wknd. Even if you're not at the parade, just a citizen going to work- viewing towers and spotlights at all hours, vans/ PA speakers & sirens. Mfs sweeping thru not giving a f about the ppl they pass
Cool! 🌱
You can order the same organic Bavarian pretzels fans at Farm Aid 40 in Minneapolis will be enjoying. Our Ultimate Watch Party kit includes: 🥨 Ten 5oz soft organic pretzels from Milwaukee Pretzel Company 🥨 Pins 🥨 Stickers 🥨 Discount code for our online store
So, runway 17/35 at MSP airport is open for arrivals from the north right now, which takes aircraft directly over downtown
Slept for ten hours after the chaos of the fair, ate leftover fair cookies for breakfast, and went for a LOVELY walk along the Midtown Greenway, so the official verdict is: Minneapolis rocks
No idea about throwing stuff out the window but apparently the flags at half mast to honour the victims of the Minneapolis massacre
Well that's it for Minneapolis. Fun city. Did a ton of shit but felt like there was still a lot more to do. Downtown surprisingly thin outside of a few pockets. Saw some cool neighborhoods tho. Extremely sports oriented city like everything is right downtown except for Allianz which kinda sucked.
Wow, how did the Redlining quilt not win a ribbon?
There are so many monarchs on my zinnias right now! I hope they make it to Mexico soon though!
Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher took some time to dedicate a song to the victims of the recent mass shooting in Minneapolis.
