Dad, accountant, Minnesotan, stupidly competitive.
It’s a little thing, but Blue Door having service staff again instead of scanning a barcode is a hugely welcomed change.

If the Irish don’t boycott, they should do everything in their power to ensure the Aviva is draped in Palestinian flags.

55 miles in the summer, 1,351 in the winter for mom.

68 miles from dad, but he randomly pops in from time to time and raids my fridge.

do you have an emotional support floor album like times when the world seems like a lot and you just wanna lie facedown on the floor with a record playing on the turntable and you don't get up until you have to flip to side B and then you lie back down on the floor after

I’d offer to be a Twin Cities tour guide, but uhhhhhh…

I’ve got another kid on the way that’s scheduled to arrive at the end of June. So I’m not allowed to have fun.
February 4, 2026 at 3:33 PM
Folks, y’all should come to Minnesota this summer. It’s usually beautiful (unless Canada is on fire), and the Twins will be terrible so tickets will be cheaply available for a mediocre time at a great ballpark.

There’s so much more to do than I can fit in limited space.
Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.

It’s 1990something. I’m wearing some random band’s t-shirt, a pair of shorts, some Nikes, and my grey STMA baseball hat (backwards).

Look, I have a question: do you need to be a lawyer to be a AUSA for this administration? Because I’m a tall white dude with an abundance of overconfidence.

Much of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown is concentrated in Minneapolis and surrounding cities. But federal agents are making arrests across Minnesota and community members are banding together to keep watch and support immigrant neighbors. A view of the resistance from Northfield.
