The moon appears red as it rises over Normandale Lake in Bloomington tonight. #mnwx #nofilter #photography
Fun to ride on a streetcar (been over 70 years since Minneapolis/St. Paul had them) and check out New Orleans this week. #travel
If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250
I find it totally bizarre that no twin cities outlets even mentioned this in passing. People were fired from jobs for criticizing Charlie Kirk, but praising a convicted murderer isn’t a scandal?
Wes Burdine@wesburdine.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe Minnesota Republican Party holding a moment of silence for the man who brutally murdered George Floyd might be one of the most fucked up things I’ve ever read. Evil.
Outstanding local television right there! Maybe a guest host slot on BEC TV in Bloomington, MN next? Or MCN6 in Minneapolis? The possibilities are endless!
Alan Sepinwall@sepinwall.bsky.social · 2mo agoLove it: the night after he was kicked off of CBS for good, Stephen Colbert hosted a public access show in southeast Michigan.
Public school teacher here - another true story! 💯 🎯 👇
While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.
Outstanding (and 100% accurate) take right there. ⬇️ Reason enough to become a paid subscriber in one post! #minnesota
RandBall’s Stu@randballsstu.bsky.social · 3mo agoGot mad enough about the Minnesota state flag "controversy" to write about it. Paywall is down for this because I really want to piss off my cousins, I guess. midwest-excellence.ghost.io/the-common-c...
Infuriating thread about our current corrupt regime in Washington DC. 😡⬇️
Alt National Park Service@altnps.bsky.social · 3mo agoIt really is just pay-to-play. Let’s look at the backdoor deal that got a foreign company access to mine near the Boundary Waters.
I can't believe this. @normcharlatan.bsky.social you're a Minnesota Legend, my man.
Fun to see the Suicide Commandos live for Record Store Day at @electricfetusmpls.bsky.social #rsd2026
Reupping this cause it’s evergreen and I feel better knowing someone out there called him out like this
The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.
I’m glued to the Artemis coverage because it is so unlike anything we get to see in the news these days: cool shit done by smart, super competent people working together closely. Positive vibes but not treacly sentiment. Also (probably) a glowing alien god of peace about to emerge from the capsule.
H/T to fellow #avgeek @ottergoose.net for giving an impassioned speech today about all the awesome work he and others have done documenting ICE deportation flights at MSP at the #nokings protest in Minnesota! F-ICE.
What a great day at the #nokings rally in St. Paul today! Huge crowds protesting and Bruce Springsteen and others played and spoke. CC: @altnps.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov
72 degrees in Minneapolis today. Ice is getting darker and starting to pull away from the shore and breaking up in spots on Bush Lake in Bloomington. #mnwx CC: @serwewx.bsky.social @boknowsweather.com @paulhuttnerweather.bsky.social
