Just realized I was dealt the microaggression of my life a week ago, and I didn't respond correctly. Pro-tip: If a bald white person tells you they want ethnic food when they look at you, tell them you want scrambled eggs

Becka Thompson is officially calling interstate migrants "colonizers." The anti-bike brigade to alt-right pipeline is real.

I didn't take a picture, but there was a 10/10 dog-furry interaction at Open Streets Lyndale where the dog could not comprehend its new hybrid friend.

Really funny to see someone with a JD and masters in public policy claim to be an urbanist while they passed over the masters in urban planning at their alma mater.

The outpouring of people whining about Minneapolis' weak city council having foreign policy resolutions is hilarious. They can't even pass an eviction extension because the moderate (read: pro-rich) wing doesn't care about homelessness and hasn't for the past 5 years. It's all performative now!

Bizarre Elizabeth Shaffer fact just dropped: she's now trying to outflank Cashman on renters rights by claiming she would have voted against the algorithmic pricing ordinance.

The Jeremiah Ellison thing does feel ethically murky, but given we have 1. A mayoral surrogate taking calls from a government office for a PAC and 2. Lisa Goodman literally having a position made for her at city hall, there's maybe larger-scsle corruption to worry about in Minneapolis?

Extremely disappointed mayor 2003 Honda element used his powerful donor connections to throw out the DFL endorsement. Truly a "Thanks for nothing, Jake Frey" Thursday.

Genuinely exhausting the Mayoral election in Minneapolis has reached the point of "socialists can't own things, look at my 2003 Honda SUV" from a man who owns two homes.

the Times - and the rest of the reactionary centrists - really, truly do not understand that your average liberal at this point is

a) desperate to see anyone fighting back

b) wants heads on pikes

c) quite aware of how fast we are backsliding towards open bigotry

The uptown cub is temporarily closed per the demon bird site, and now I'm wondering if there is a "white flight after Covid and the death of George Floyd" thinkpiece featuring the transition from Kombucha taps to Locked Shampoo

This is just "In the flesh"

Bottomed for my slender, effete, intellectual bottom - now I suspect his doctoral thesis was plagiarized

Terrible song idea: A cover of Nelly Furtado's "I'm like a bird" but all the bird descriptions are painfully specific and not archetypal

Absolutely no one:
Me: Tomte of Finland

Trying to get out of my lurker era now that skies are blue or whatever. Non denominational queer man seeks leftist shitposters, big name gay New Yorkers, and people who hate Minneapolis boy mayor Jacob Frey. I like ambiguity more than you.
