Dobnak revenge game complete! Sorry if I jinxed it. Reminds me of all of the historical former mediocre Timberwolves who would always blow up to beat the Wolves. If I were GM, I would not have made decisions based on those one off games like some teams seem to do.
Old Lang Sign@mattylangmsp.bsky.social · 7d agoI was about to wonder if we’re in for a Dobnak revenge game when the Twins got their first hit of the game. I paused, then he quickly ended the inning. Still in play.

LeBron will live in Manhattan but he will commute to Philly by bicycle, not helicopter.
Why are fireworks happening at target field? The internet tells me the twins lost.
I met an out of towner from Idaho at the bar tonight. I immediately said, I love potatoes. He got it butI think half of the other people in ear shot didn’t.
It’s bold of the Twins broadcast to be flying a drone in this wind.
I concur that people should get their colonoscopies. I did mine fully lucid so I could go to happy hour afterwards. Watching the villi on screen was amazing but the turn from the large intestine into the small was a tad uncomfortable. I think the doctor was showing off.
Brandon Kennedy@bicycleidiot.bsky.social · 2w agoJuly 24. I was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer one year ago today. I’m still here and I shouldn’t be. That means I’m going to tell you to get your colonoscopy. It’s life or death, that’s all!
I watched The Odyssey this afternoon and I couldn’t stop thinking that Matt Damon should have been Brad Pitt.
The openly racists are out in force in the replies to local news FB accounts today.
I do have one Argentinian friend but he doesn’t care about sports so I’m feeling fine supporting my Spanish friends today. Vamanos.
Les Bleus are obviously above a 3rd place match. England, on the other hand, is apparently right in its lane there.
The air is full of smoke, the food is full of parasites, and the water is full of data center bacteria but at least we stopped all that DEI children's cancer research!
I have no problem with people using the park space across from my apartment building but I do take issue when it’s used as a car drag strip. Where is #mraz when we need him on the east bank?
It’s not that my building neighbors are dorks. It’s just that I’m all alone on the roof deck this wonderful evening. I kind of like it, actually.
Poll: If you saw a job description that says the department is dependent on grants and they have grants to fund the position now but 🤷♀️in the future would you still want to apply? In other words, is it that bad out there?
Heads up: 5th Street bikeway in Minneapolis is closed at 10th Ave SE. No detour sidewalks completely closed.
France will win, for sure. They are easily the best team in this tournament. Allez les bleus.
Hattifattener@hattifattener.bsky.social · last mo.As in 1066 England will prevail against the Norwegians before tragically losing to the French a couple of weeks later.
Watching national YouTubers talk about the Wolves is the best. When they say, “the city of Minnesota” it always makes me gag a little bit. I personally hate that we named our sports teams after the state. I think it’s really a branding issue. Fight me if you want.
Thanks for the StP AUD recs yesterday. Now I’m looking for row houses, duplexes, 4-6 plexes, and five over ones. Either in Midway or something that looks like it could be newer construction. So probably not historic stuff.
if there's awoo-ing today you should probably run for cover
City of Minneapolis@minneapolismn.gov · last mo.Hennepin County has cancelled the monthly outdoor warning siren test today due to the potential for severe weather. If you hear sirens today, assume it is a real alert and seek shelter immediately.
Does anyone know of any homes with ADUs in Saint Paul (preferably somewhere in Midway)? I’m looking to use a small image from google earth in an LVT explainer video. The address would not be revealed in the video. DM if you can help me track one down.
Is it me who is wrong when I pass up facebook friend suggestions when I kind of know who the person is and I don’t want to be too forward?
OH just now on the rooftop deck: “Urban infrastructure really makes me horny.”
