Massive line wrapping up and down 7th street for Noah Kahan merch in Minneapolis. Had to do a yahoo search on who he is.. 😬

Located about 3 hours west of Minneapolis, the Prairie Correctional Facility in Appleton, MN has been named as a potential ICE detention center. The private prison with 1,600 beds has been closed since 2010.

saw a deplorable MAGA irl the other day

Theres a few new murals being painted on the Midtown Greenway in Minneapolis right now. Saw some local friends being painted on this one, which is real fun. Looking forward to seeing them finished!

I know this is a real hard photo to understand what's going on.. so here's a wider shot!

If Iran sent a bomb that disabled our water infrastructure, it would be massive news. If the President then took Iran’s side and blamed Minnesota, it would be treason. Why is this buried 2/3 down the @startribune.com page?

Sun sneaked out for a few minutes tonight in Minneapolis! Lake of the Isles, the new Metro Transit West Lake Street Station and Bde Maka Ska.

The license holder and owner of the fake bars in Uptown is Luis Londono, who owns Uptown Hospitality. Uptown Hospitality owns/operates Reign Nightclub and its subsidiaries After Midnight Group operates Daisys (soon Harold's Chicken), KISS and Urban Entertainment LLC operates Vanquish (downtown).

The liquor license holder of the Uptown nightclub thats had at least 3 mass shootings in the last 6 years, including one of the largest in Minnesota history and 2 in the last 13 months, was sued in late May by someone who says they were shot multiple times at their downtown club. Seems bad...

Pretty crazy both the US and Iran are attacking Minnesota

Wow I just watched “14 Peaks” not too long ago. The documentary, directed by Mankato’s Jimmy Chin, follows Nirmal Purja as he climbs all 14 8,000+ meter peaks in a record 7 months.

World-renowned climber Nirmal Purja is feared missing following an avalanche on Broad Peak in Pakistan, the Alpine Club of Pakistan said in a statement. https://cnn.it/4hM4xV8

That was a powerful experience. I am incredibly grateful for that show and the message it had to our community during those incredibly trying times. Not to mention, Tom Morello marched with us in -10°F windchill. A big thank you to @tommorelloofficial.bsky.social & @brucespringsteen.net. ✨✊🏽✨

6 months ago today in Minneapolis Bruce Springsteen joined Tom Morello at First Avenue for "The Concert of Solidarity and Resistance to Defend Minnesota” where he performed his song "Streets of Minneapolis" for the first time. @brucespringsteen.net @first-avenue.com

Despite the headline, this article is not about Uptown dance clubs (because they are all fake) but a good read on Lyndale nightlife

We check in with rattled DJs, club owners, and dancers.

Things that could help: Adding the missing paint (directional arrows, yield) and concrete things. Sounds trivial, but painting the hatches to match the pavement would make it all look less messy. But this this all breaks down when westbound greenway traffic avoids the roundabout all together...

Mike Lindell for Governor sign seen in Embarrass, Minnesota (population 600). Lindell has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars raised by his campaign on purchasing copies of his own book from his own company which he gives out in exchange for your phone number.

it is definitely over-engineered and isn't a natural idea for that intersection. That people don't understand how to use it 'correctly' isn't user error imo

I’ve seen enough - I think the roundabout situation on the Midtown Greenway at the Kenilworth Trail needs to be dismantled. No one knows how to use it because it doesn’t make sense and I feel it’s making conditions there dangerous because of the confusion..

Got shut out on finding any moose up in the Superior National Forest over the weekend.. but I can confirm timberwolves are real! Caught this friendly guy about 2 miles south of BWCA. Superior National Forest in Minnesota, July 2026

wild how you buy one thing from a ice cream truck and for the next few months they coincidentally stop right in front of your house with their music playing and ring a bell on the truck

Imagine the kind of expansive life you could lead, all the sharing you could do, all the joy you could spread with virtually unlimited resources, and instead choose to be miserable and small and hoard your resources and make people’s lives worse. What a sad existence

Musk insisting storebought tomatoes are better than homegrown tomatoes is the most perfect distillation of how ignorant he is of daily human life and the small joys therein.

going up to the SNF for next few days. this is the actual map they provide of the closures? maybe i'm just stupid, but this does nothing to show me where closures actually are other than some areas of the forest are closed?

Extraordinary photos.

Photos from 6 months ago today: Smashed up ICE vehicles, utility pole signs, ICE agents filming protesters at Whipple, thousands march through Downtown Minneapolis in one of the largest marches in state history. 18 hours later Alex Pretti was disarmed by federal agents and shot to death.
