I've also frequently assumed all the apartments are empty because where are the pedestrians?! Why are they driving? Everything's right there.

I've been absolutely torn to shreds for suggesting that the Target downtown and the old uptown mini Target were both walkable from Whittier. I walk everywhere and am always surprised how few others do.

My parents were like "oh you'll just get another job". They have zero idea what this job market is like and how everyone's struggling. Also I will never, ever RTO, my mental health can't do office work, so that limits my options.

👺Satan Miller: Eliminate Antifa

🥴Noem: Eliminate Black & Brown people

🥃Kegseth: Eliminate women and trans people in the military

🤴🏼😵‍💫Trump: Pam, implement ALL elimination orders to save our reputation… NOW!

It was the perfect place to be when I was a young college-aged person. Now? I really like the diversity of Minneapolis, my walkable neighborhood, and the access to food from around the world that we have here. I could never go back.

I've been to several Queen shows and always loved that they had Freddie lead that one still (video with the live band, not AI)

There was a neighbor in South Mpls who blocked off a sidewalk, put up signs, put out a shelter and food for a baby crow learning to fly this summer. It was the cutest. He was there a couple weeks and his parents would watch out for people coming and shout out to him.

Can anyone name a single MAGAt politician who’s NOT a grifter, a criminal, or a pedophile, or some combination thereof? Anyone?

It's pretty disgusting scotus is even discussing whether or not it's ok to abuse and torture people who are vulnerable and they are looking at it as a "free speech" issue

My mom's best friend when I was growing up had this exact one and it was amazing to crawl into with a giant bowl of popcorn to watch a movie

What a nightmare! What meds? I have a friend who just lost their cat and was talking about finding a place to donate their leftovers.

Just heard from a friend at Target corporate. Instead of WFH accommodations they're firing people with disabilities. That must be what they mean by "fostering belonging".

Kinda feels like America is currently engaged in a low level civil war and we just don’t want to admit it yet

I've never seen the Breakfast Club, the Goonies, Reality Bites, Clerks and other Gen X movies. I wasn't allowed to watch the Simpsons, Seinfeld or Friends when they came out (though I've seen some episodes now as an adult). My mom was weirdly strict about what I could see.

Speaking as a Canadian, I am not sure of the exact amount of taxes that my family of four has to pay towards our healthcare, but it’s nowhere near as much as 500$ a month. The American system is a scam.
