I don’t know who needs to hear this, but rakes, unlike leaf blowers, make no noise.

Think what you will of him. His posing game is strong.
Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis has won a third term in office. Voters selected the relatively moderate Democrat over a democratic socialist rival who proposed raising taxes on the rich to build more affordable housing, imposing rent increase caps and raising the minimum wage.
Jacob Frey Wins Third Term as Minneapolis Mayor
The race for Minneapolis mayor tested the appeal of democratic socialist policies, drawing comparisons to Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral bid in New York City.

Did I read the July email saying the City of Minneapolis was moving to a new utility billing system and I’d have to re-authorize auto-pay? No, I did not.

Did I accidentally fall five months behind on my utility bill as a result? Yes, I did.

Roasting sweet potato + chickpeas + cauliflower + cumin + za’atar.

Also, look how psychedelic one of the sweet potatoes was.

This looks good, but I’ve never heard of it.
Lush and creamy, éclair cake is a dessert popular in the Midwest and beyond that’s perfect for any gathering, celebration or potluck. nyti.ms/4oEg8pR

I won’t tell you what kind of dog it was that broke out of its fence and attacked Kitsu.

You can probably guess.

I’m not very far into this book, but it’s hilarious to me that it’s largely about gay men and so far, the female characters are way more interesting.

Do you think this homeowner went into the dumpster and fished out these bags of dog poop?

I just took 7 or 8 new-ish books to Half-Price Books and got $15.

Did I make money? No, absolutely not. Does it feel like I did? Definitely.
