We should build a statue honoring the person who created the leaf blower. I know many despise it, but it saves me every autumn.

Cats suck. My son moved home with his cat and it’s a pain in ass. Just knocked ice water all over my wife’s paperwork and computer. I have no idea why people choose to have them. Go dogs.

Dear Minnesota elected democrats — it's a small thing, but an important ask IMHO. Please legalize digital ID in Minnesota so I can leave my driver's license at home—or not have a physical one at all. Thanks.

Warren and AOC for Majority Leader and Speaker. That's how democrats capitalize on the election. That's how progressive bills are brought to the White House. I'd love to see Trump veto meaningful, popular, help-the-people legislation over and over and over.

BREAKING: Russell Brand has been convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. The judge says he will have to be remanded into custody and he will likely face years in prison.

GO VOTE. Everyone, from all parties. Go to the polls. I'd love to see 100% turnout. I want every citizen to play a role in democracy.

If Democrats win the US House and Senate, I hope they spend most of their efforts on affordability and improving life for Americans—not investigating Trump. The best way to win broad support and grow the party is to make lives better, not get revenge.

The only candidate I'm excited to vote for tomorrow is Steve Simon. Maybe Anders Folk. That's it. Every other candidate feels like a "better-than-the-alternative" vote. That sucks. I won't be voting at all for governor. Amy will win, and I feel no need to support her appraoch to politics.

Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

Gophers have the Axe, Jug, and Pig. But can the general public go see them? Nope. Only the media, recruits, and other people in the program can. That's a big L for the fanbase.

This Minnesota election cycle may have the fewest political yard signs ever. Signs don't vote, but I do think it shows a general apathy about the election. Perhaps there are no "great" candidates. My guess, people will vote along party lines out of routine — not passion.

Is it a commanding lead, or is @amyklobuchar.com just slightly ahead? @startribune.com is attempting to have it both ways — and failing. My journalism professor would have given me an F for this headline.

I'm going camping this weekend. You should, too. Camp as much as you can.

Election day is less than a month away, and Flannagan is still running an awful campaign. I'm increasingly confident that she will lose. She needs to create a moment/message that catches fire.

Hockey is back, and so are the wins. Thank you Wild.

The Cornell University Jane Doe victim statement is a wild read. Not at all what most people or I likely expected her story to be like. www.tompkinscountyny.gov/files/assets...

That sucked.

Honestly thinking this team will be radically different next year despite being #1 seed. Age and lack of size has caught up with the Lynx.

The Lynx have delivered more titles than any Mn team. They are also about to also deliver the biggest choke ever.

Never thought the Lynx would be good, let alone dominate this year. So I guess i’m not surprised they look old, tired and mediocre now. Cheryl is coach of the year, but also coule be coach of first 1/8 seed upset.

Lynx looking like a team that’s ready for the off season.

Starting to believe Angie Craig would have been a better candidate. She sucks, but, she would win. Peggy is looking weak and platformless. She is trying to win on vibes, and Harris showed that isn't enough.

As a happily married man who doesn't date, I have to ask: is it ever fun for singles to date? I read/hear so many miserable stories about modern dating.

Phoebe Bridgers put on a performance that would have left David Byrne impressed. High level art and sound.

How do people feel about Peggy Flanagan's chances of winning (as of today)? Personally, I feel pretty low/concerned. Nothing about her candidacy has caught any traction with the public at large.

Bluesky is an echo chamber of the same people saying the same things to the same people. I had high hopes for this platform, but meaningful growth and diversity of perspectives have never taken root. I miss Twitter.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

The most old-white guy-thing I have ever done was earning my Ham radio license. What's yours? Looking for new life goals.
