Live in St. Paul
Scenes from new E Line BRT route that started today. It is train-like in its frequency, stations and boarding. Goes from Westgate in St Paul, west in University thru U, then south on Hennepin thru Downtown Mpls, Uptown, Lake Bde Maka Ska, Edina and Southdale.

Alone turkey is calling for its lost Prospect Park flock. If you know where they are, tell me, sounds so sad. They're not the brightest.

Not a single elected dem is even going to come remotely close to what Lee and a whole bunch of elected GOP officials did. They’re all going to express sympathy and condemn political violence and we’re of course going to get a billion different “both sides” articles in the coming weeks
Oh, is Mike Lee moralizing about his hatred of political violence now?

No elected official Democratic party will be as cruel about Kirk's death as Mike Lee was about the death of Melissa Hortman.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Mpls/StP folks - any advice on good local place to order cold food for a reception after funeral? We have elderly church ladies willing to help serve in the church basement but want to get food to them as easy as possible way. Maybe 100 people..

So. Cali makes no sense to me. Beautiful day, wonderful neighborhood park with at 30+ people in it, basketball, pickleball, volleyball, tot lot, and only saw only one person arrive on bike. If same situation in Mpls at a park, and bike rack would be full. There are more bikers than 7 yrs ago tho

Photo + tidbit: Unprecedented lines around the block to get into Allianz Field to see Lionel Messi and Inter Miami play #MNUFC on Saturday in St. Paul. This is a good strategy for fans to see pregame warmups, which should begin around 2:48 p.m.

Most of them don't even know what a CNC machine is, much less the fact that there's been a shortage of operators basically since they've existed in current form.
One way you know the dolts thinking these tariffs are gonna unlock all this American manufacturing have never actually worked in a factory is they have no idea that most CNC machines are not made here, and that we do not have the capacity to make up that “imbalance”

Yep. I put my new board game on Kickstarter on hold indefinitely. There's no current scenario where it's feasible due to the tariffs. As an indie author and board game developer, these tariffs are apocalyptic.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff
