@normcharlatan.bsky.social @randballsstu.bsky.social I heard Seattle in late September is nice
A breakdown of the #Gophers 2026 game-by-game schedule.

- Seattle in late September
- An alternating road/home conference slate
- Only one bye week, but Minnesota gets it to prepare for a rivalry game

damn right Wemby
Asked about Minneapolis, Victor Wembanyama says, “PR has tried, but I’m not going to sit here and be politically correct.”

Then says “it’s crazy that people make it seem like … the murder of civilians is acceptable.”

AFGE, the largest federal employee union, is calling for the immediate termination of Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller for smearing their slain union member Alex Pretti as a “domestic terrorist.”

I'm sorry Bills fans
The Bills are promoting their own OC Joe Brady to head coach, per The Insiders.

It’s a 5-year deal for Joe Brady — who has been a top HC candidate for years. Now, he lands at home.

If you feel helpless living far away from MN, here are many ways to give those working on the ground there. Plenty of options for whatever moves you. I gave to immigrant mutual aid, reproductive care, animal rescue and rent relief, but there are several others.

The Lombardi, Larry O’Brien and Stanley Cup we’ve never got rolled into one
Hahaha can you imagine how insufferable we’d be if the People of Minnesota won the Nobel peace prize
Some thoughts:

1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.

2. History professors are qualified nominators.

3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.

4. He would be so mad.

I'll bring the pickle roll ups
The day all of these monsters finally leave MN I feel like the most Minnesotan thing to do is have the biggest potluck in state history. Bars as far as the eyes can see. The power grid being strained by the collective energy being used by a million slow cookers. A Hamm’s pony keg on every corner…

Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

then take a few days off after that
Minnesota Vikings play-by-play announcer Paul Allen opened Monday’s radio show with a statement apologizing for his "paid protester" comments last week, before announcing he’s "taking a few days off."
