BTW who's going to the penultimate Northstar ride on Sunday?
The shutdown of the Northstar has attracted national attention
Did I fly to Minneapolis today to ride the last Northstar train?

Yes. Yes, I did.

Finally got to see the butter ball drop after all these years!

Butter Bakery owner Daniel Swenson-Klatt holds a ball of butter with chocolate chips spelling out “2026” tied to a string outside his cafe. Butter Bakery closes December 31 after 20 years in business.

Biked to work today. Roads this morning were bumpy, the slush causing me to lose control of my bike. In some cases, I had to dismount because the snow was too high.

I rode home this afternoon. Better than this morning. Some roads were still slippery.

#mspcyclecast Minnetonka Blvd not plowed. Hennepin is plowed. Lyndale bridge next to I-94 is not plowed. 15th St is slippery.

The B Line can go into St. Louis Park today, as a treat.

Good morning! We are heading to Cold Spring today.

About 8 riders got off of Northstar Link to catch the Northstar train.

If you’re wondering how the trip went, I’ll be on streets.mn ride on the return trip.

The walks are super slick this morning.

If you want to head to Lake Maria State Park by Northstar this week, now’s your chance. Trailblazer is running on Christmas Eve but not Christmas Day.

Clarify purpose of bike ride

Wow, how is a good swath of San Francisco without power right now?!

I wish I could be there right now.
The Sunset is dark & quiet during the blackout.

Pedestrians are using flashlights to get around & restaurants have closed early. Kitchen staff are taking the bus or scootering home.

Patrons are dining by candlelight.

Elsewhere, Waymos are stuck, snarling traffic.

People were out on Lake Street to protest the ongoing presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Twin Cities.

It’s been awhile since I’ve taken a bike on a train.

The straps are a bit awkward.
December 19, 2025 at 11:08 PM
As it turns out, I'm gonna be headed to Cold Spring that day and riding the train. If anyone wants to join me, PM me. We'll meet at Target Field at 6:30am but it's important to PM so I can walk you through getting set up on TriCap, which will take us from St. Cloud to Cold Spring.

There’s a story up on MinnPost about the complexities of foraging on public lands www.minnpost.com/state-govern...
State foraging task force set to review Minnesota rules - MinnPost
Foraging for wild plants for food and medicine is a tradition for many Minnesotans. It’s also against the law in many places.

"One agent is seen wildly swinging a baton to keep protesters at bay before apparently getting hit by a colleague’s pepper spray."
Jon Collins is really providing top-notch coverage lately. My favorite detail: the ICE dude who got pepper sprayed by the other ICE dude.
Hennepin County dispatch got a panicked call from a Department of Homeland Security supervisor in Minneapolis requesting assistance because “we only have a few officers but we have 60-70 agitators fighting them.” Hennepin deputies didn’t witness any attacks on agents.

Hey everyone, where can I get 40 sambusas for a gathering this week? Ideally somewhere close to downtown.

So it turns out we’re at Studio Timeout, which is across the street from 6010 Lyndale.

I’m here until 4 today. Studio 2.

All set up and ready to go at Behind Bars.

Free zine about going to Lake Maria State Park with purchase.

I'd take a selfie with my classmates outside of the Augsburg building in this snowstorm, but I'm waylaid at home with a sore throat.

I can't believe I finished my first semester of my MSW program.

Mood: on a D60LFR on the C Line, reviewing final project deliverables, as someone blasts Silent Night by The Temptations.

Been wanting to do this all summer as an excuse to photograph and meet other photographers.

Thanks for hosting @rileybruce.bsky.social!
