Dad, accountant, Minnesotan, stupidly competitive.
It's a good morning to sit on a couch with some coffee and a cat.

ICE thinks we’re going to give up but Paul Giel was Athletic Director at the U for 18 years yet there are still #Gopher fans

I spent some time with the only good ice in Minnesota today.

"It could be worse." -Thousands of Minnesotans today
The funniest shit is that I feel like the huge turnout downtown is almost because of the cold not in spite of it. The fact that it’s -10 degrees out led to just more defiance, like thousands out there saying, it isn’t even that bad out.

I'm going to spend the entire month of March teaching everyone that 26+6=1 after we drive the snakes out of Minnesota.
"MRA" damn do we have a Minneapolis Republican Army now?

There's still many wonderful things left in the world that can spark joy, like Bodo/Glimt beating Manchester City.

That pass was weapons-grade stupid.

If a Minnesotan says to you, "I don't plan to let you do that," run.

I’m doing my part!

It’s really fun. You can relive being a horrible teenager bullying others and know that it’s for a great cause this time.
ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

MY WATER BALLOON SUGGESTIONS HAS BEEN ACCEPTED!
A handful of racists are being hit with water balloons while "Let It Go" from Frozen is blasting. As he tried to get through the crowd, the mass of counter-protesters each took a turn at him like a birthday patty-wagon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbOL...

Have the day you deserve, Pep Guardiola.

Ok, so now let’s get rid of CD6. Absorb that shit into its neighbors, and fuck Tom Emmer.
Generally prefer the government not play favorites in the market but if they do go in for crushing things, polymarket is pretty high on my list. What is this nonsense.

My patience for people who don’t deserve grace.
What existed 10 years ago but is gone or obsolete now?

Here. Everything is pretty awful, so have a judgmental Doughnut.

Serenading ICE with some Dü would be so much fun. Particularly at about 3:45 in the morning when it’s double-digits below zero.
On this day. January 14, 1985. Hüsker Dü released their “New Day Rising” LP.

The Hmong are Minnesotans. Possibly the most fun I’ve ever had at a wedding reception was a Hmong-Jewish shindig in Frogtown with a massive language barrier. Thankfully, cases of beer and bottles of Jameson are universal.
The Hmong are here because they fought for the US in a war we lost.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"

"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

Tom Brady has less charisma than the contents of a compost bin. Listening to him makes any game nearly unenjoyable.

Ice-on-ICE violence is fucking hilarious. I need more.

This has to be the largest crowd of Indiana fans at a football game not wearing Notre Dame clothes.
It's at least a 90-10 split in terms of crowd. So, so many Indiana fans.

Let’s go Ducks. Please.

My 4 year old step-son had a better understanding of firearm safety than these fascist twats who have probably shouted “BUT MY 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS!” at a niece or nephew at Thanksgiving.
Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.

This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.
