totally, and i'm not ruling out the possibility that these newcomers are simply recycling a bad faith talking point they received from someone else (e.g., the folks @taylr.bsky.social mentions below)
i’m sick of people complaining their CM ignores them without explaining exactly what they’re emailing about and wanting the CM to do because i know a lot of this shit is strong mayor duties but neighborhood orgs who don’t like their progressive CM tell people to write to them instead of the city 🙃

totally, i'm sure a lot of lydia's older supporters are proudly anti-progressive and anti-aisha. i was just shocked by the number of young folks **in lydia t-shirts** that had done so little homework.

here's how i'd classify ~40% of the lydia supporters in 10-7:
- under 35
- first-time caucus goers
- led to believe that aisha is the status quo candidate
- no opinions on the aisha other than some lydia talking points (see quote below)

a single phone call from aisha's campaign could sway them imo
oh i will say one of the lydia bros tonight was talking about why he was going for lydia and he was like "well, I wasn't getting a response from Aisha on Twitter or anything else, so I went to ChatGPT" and that's when I stopped listening

really hoping that @metrotransitmn.bsky.social expands upon this partnership. imagine being a transit rider in the twin cities and being able to purchase fares via an app that isn't trash!

never thought i’d see the day where both sides of my personality (react state management, channel tres) would be featured together in a ben holmes whiteboarding video

ok if we're talking hilarious 2017 minneapolis mayoral campaigns, it is important that aswar rahman and his giant truck of plastic water bottles are a part of this conversation

For some reason it is not possible to fetch this page - the server crashes with a 500 error.

In all other aspects, everything is fine (I saved a copy, hosted it and a preview was generated for it)

the page appears to be responding with a 500 so that'd be my guess!

obsessed with the idea of a media bias analyst reading a damning investigative piece on minneapolis police use of force and another on snowplow naming contest submissions and thinking "yes yes these are the same"
