Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Will contend that 1999ish 3rd Lair Skatepark at 1201 E. Lake St. had a top 5 jukebox in the Twin Cities.
A review of jukeboxes in 1979 in four Twin Cities establishments: 400 Bar, The Longhorn, Mayslack’s, and Nicolino’s. From Musicians’ Insider, June 1979.

Skateboarding? Check.
Urban Planning? Check.
Referring to not one but TWO skaters as "Dr."? Check.

Aside from video games and Bosch, this story I wrote, on how skateboarding revived an urban plaza in San Francisco, hits all my buttons.

Bought some emergency vulcs yesterday because I’d forgotten my skate shoes and it was a fun trip down memory lane but I also bruised my heel bailing a ledge trick.

Amidst all this Wolves/Thunder discourse: nobody from the state calls it “Minny;” you might just barely get away with it referencing Minneapolis.

I’ve seen this lion at many homes in both SE and NE Minneapolis. Wonder where it was sourced from.

Gonna wear the pants today, don’t care what Eliza thinks or says.
“Are my new pants too provocative for school pickup?” is a real thought I had just now.

Been getting calls intended for a ‘Nasra,’ for more than a decade, the most recent being from Progressive Insurance over a claim on a 2022 Mercedes Benz.
