Xcel Energy contractor Osmose is working on a utility pole on our block, and one of the workers wrote "BLM is a joke" in chalk on the sidewalk.
They tried to wipe it away after someone complained, and then claimed it said "FML it sucks." So...what the hell Xcel?

Hey Minnesota: I'm looking for folks (particularly in Duluth) who want to talk about how changing winter climate has impacted their sense of identity as Minnesotans and changed how they think about winter.
It's for an upcoming @startribune.com column. Hit me up!

The owner/chef at Kado No Mise personally does kintsugi to fix all the dishes. And they are licensed to serve blowfish. And they seem to be the only restaurant in the Midwest to do kaiseki. No competition for best sushi in Minneapolis

If you also need a cocktail this week, I'm enjoying The Morning Star, a not-too-strong autumn cocktail from @karanewman.bsky.social's equal parts cocktail book "Shake. Stir. Sip."

The Hennepin County Fix-It Clinic is incredible. A volunteer just helped me fix an electric kettle. Saved money, kept junk out of a landfill, and hung out with the friendliest tinkerers. 10/10
