There is something unnatural about Indiana being good at football.

Loved this story from Racket about the “bones store” at MOA. racketmn.com/remember-whe...
An excerpt from a Racket article stating: Once inside, customers discovered many more skeletons, ranging from full-scale replicas to miniature desk-sized models. BareBones also stocked anatomical charts, replica organs, books, educational toys, and novelty items like a color-your-own-anatomy nightshirt. A gelatin mold modeled from an actual human brain was a big seller, Cordell recalls. "It was just really weird, goofy stuff," he says.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

Downtown business folks are the most shortsighted fools in town, fouling their nest to get back at DSA & shocked when people avoid downtown. One even hallucinated a stabbing! Also, landlords can’t deny funding Kupchella’s screed even as another is shocked it was so negative. They’re just morons!

"I was told that it would be a positive spin on downtown Minneapolis, so I agreed to do it" said Fitzgerald, who is shown talking about a shooting hotspot in the Warehouse District.

Republicans are free to run for election and vote. The criticism here is the Democrat benefiting from conservative money—a purposeful strategy.

Multiple simultaneous correct guesses! It was in fact "Careless Whisper." This must be universal among saxophonists, no?

Kingsley Bimpong should be alive. If we had public safety responses that cared for individuals instead of only looking for crimes this could have been avoided. Instead, Kingsley paid for it with his life and Dakota County taxpayers will be footing the bill for law enforcement’s indifference.

If a Republican could win in Minneapolis, then this is what their donor base would look like.
An excerpt of an Axios Twin Cities newsletter stating: In Frey's corner: "All of Mpls" - a PAC fueled by donations from several developers, centrist labor unions, the Minneapolis Regional Chamber and even Lyft - has spent nearly $344,000 to influence city races as of late September.
• An offshoot group, "Thrive Mpls," spent another $46,000.
• A third group, "We Love Minneapolis PAC" — underwritten by the Downtown
Council and landlord groups - has spent nearly $122,000 to bolster Frey-aligned council candidates.

Public works is massive! The quintessential government function is streets! The idea that the city council wouldn't get a confirmation vote for public works director is nuts. These charter commissioners have lost their minds.

I don’t know what other cities look like, but I think that the commissioner of health role is one I want the Council to vote on. Probably others as well, but there are real implications to the way that position approaches public health that directly affects residents.

POWER GRAB: 6-5 majority of commissioners on this work group say council shouldn't get a confirmation vote for mayor's picks for directors of public works, community planning/economic development, civil rights, health, emergency management, regulatory services, assessor.

Tonight a resident posted a picture of racist and Islamaphobic language written on Johnson street that called for @omarfatehmn.com to be deported and wished death upon the Somali community. @doronclark.bsky.social and I showed up right away to get this racist garbage off of our streets

It's so incredible how low homicide rates are in Europe. The UK, with a population of 70 million people, had fewer than 600 murders in 2023.

I can live with this. PA is too east coast and the Dakotas, NE, and KS should be considered the Great Plains.

Just delivered a sign for someone who requested it because their landlord put up a Strahan sign. This shows the choice we have this election.

Elect someone who fights for renters who actually live here, or elect someone that voted in Ward 3 in January 2025 that’s having landlords put up his signs.

Well lookie here! For years, people have been saying that utilities should take the lead on distributed energy -- actually procure it, deliberately, where on the grid it is needed. Now Excel Energy in Minnesota is about to actually do it! Will 200 MW of distributed batteries.

I will also add that his wife wrote an op-ed in the Northeaster where she said something to the effect of “not voting blindly for a candidate” which I certainly took as a dig to the effort Dan Engelhart put into getting the DFL endorsement.
zackkaylor.bsky.social
Dan Miller wants to be viewed as an “apolitical” candidate but his bedfellows are conservative DFLers and he hosts a Frey yard sign. I’m not convinced that he wouldn’t be an ally to conservative MPRB members.

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.
