Places to sit on Nicollet Mall: 1. Peavey Plaza, lots of concrete 'benches", a few metal chairs, and the blue Adirondack chairs. One of my fave spots in the city.
So. Randy would make the best greens, the absolute best, for Thanksgiving. So good that we had a formal Presentation of the Greens one year.

man, share the memories you have about your people now. don't wait; just, like make that a regular thing. tell them why they matter to you all the fucking time. and tell them beautifully, poetically, the way you would reminisce about them. because that beauty is important.

So the cuts to SNAP are just part of Dr. Oz's weight loss plan, eh?
Oz: We thought it was 125 million pounds. Our estimate is Americans will lose 135 billion pounds by the midterms

Ward 7, you have amazing representation in Councilmember Cashman; and so do the rest of us...till the end of this year. Thank you, Katie.
I’m sad to deliver the news that we unfortunately did not win our campaign for re-election. I have called the new Council Member-elect and wished her well. My term will be ending at the end of December this year, and I plan to use the next two months to do as much as I can for Ward 7 residents.

I dig @dbrauer and his take on Minneapolis (even when I'm one of those more snarky people, lol).
Your Dad partied with the DSA last night & I gotta say, they’re a fun group. Heartened by their hard work fueled by a love of the city. The irony is government can only do so much, so people who are into the city-as-city boost the culture & make this a place where I want to remain despite shittery.

Tom Brady cloned his dog; and he's a major investor in the company that did it, and somehow this news makes me incredibly sad this morning. Both that it happened and that it's news.

This whole thing, but especially: "As an adult, that being a constant in my community will put me in some kids core memory." Yeah.
I just got back from a walk. While I was walking through the park, a little white boy and his father flagged me down from the very other end of the park. Now to be fair, I have on my hat on, so I’m easy to spot lol. The little boy drew me this. A month ago. He has been waiting to see me again.

This appointment is such good news for the twin cities and @metcouncilmn.bsky.social !
Whether you’re going to work, the grocery, or a friend’s house, Twin Cities residents need transportation options that are safe & work for their wallet, ability, and age. Robin gets that and knows how to deliver.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced Tuesday that he's appointing Robin Hutcheson, a former U.S. Department of Transportation official, to chair the Metropolitan Council, starting in December. The Met Council has faced scrutiny in recent years over spending on public transit projects.
