I just moved back after 15 years away, and my love for this city/metro is reawakened. People do not realize how special this is until you live elsewhere in the US
Picture it: you live in Minneapolis and are enjoying a postcard-perfect fall day riding on our network of over 100 miles of trails and curb-protected bikeways.

Very proud of the @kare11.bsky.social team at the Midwest Emmys last night. By my count, they won 25 Emmys, including Best AM Newscast, News Excellence and Overall Excellence. #midwestemmys

Great day of biking around Minneapolis. The infrastructure here for bikes seriously rivals a lot of European cities. Such an asset. Encourages you to get outside.

This NFL season is already unbearable. If you thought the Packers were the league’s “My Precious” before— it’s going to be amped to levels never seen.

Minneapolis: blood drive this evening and Friday afternoon: Wooden Ship Brewing, 3300 W 44th St Minneapolis.
Or visit the Memorial Blood Centers site for other locations to donate: www.mbc.org
There was an urgent blood shortage even before this awful shooting, so lots of donors needed!

Byron Buxton hits for the cycle on my 50th birthday celebration with friends and family. 10 years ago, Brian Dozier walked off the Tigers on my 40th. Must be something… and then Willi Castro goes back to back. #mntwins

Twins win. 40K here to see them beat Paul Skenes. And let’s face it— that was not the main event for this crowd. It’s the postgame Nelly concert

Made it back to Knoxville for a night. Had to see the new baseball stadium for the Knoxville Smokies. (Cubs AA)
This is incredible. I got to witness the idea and creation. Moving downtown just gets you more fans in seats.

My parents are neighbors of the Hortmans. My mom and Rep. Hortman walked their dogs together. I’m sad my parents are grieving their friends, and frustrated and angry this happened.

Listen, baseball gods, I know things were going pretty good for the Twins, but taking out both Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa on a single play is a little bit on the punitive side, don't you think?

Great to see @bobmouldmusic.bsky.social in Louisville. 75 minutes of just nonstop rippers. Pulled out some Husker Dü classics. Band is super tight. For my money, @jonwurster.bsky.social is the best drummer in rock and roll.
