Hey @shwood.com -- After recommending your new magic kit to a friend's partner as a gift idea I was putzing around the website and clicked the "other top rated products" and the first two are 404. Thought you'd like to know.

Hey @kairyssdal.bsky.social here's a good YouTube channel about how a guy in the PNW is reopening an old gold mine: www.youtube.com/channel/UCJJ...

Mt. Baker Mining and Metals was founded in 2011 by Jason Gaber. MBMM was born as a business to meet demand created when word of the Gaber’s ingenuity spread throughout the small-scale mining community...

Hey @johnmoe.bsky.social only listened to a part of the episode this morning but it got me thinking... have you ever chatted with John Tauer at St. Thomas? He's their MBKB but also a psychology prof and has done a lot on the balance of kids and sport.

Hi.
This isn’t getting better.
It won’t be getting better anytime soon.
I’m just doing a lot of stalling.
That is your unemployment and homeless update.
Carry on with your regularly scheduled TikTok video watching.
It’s fine. Everything is fine.

750 days and counting...

Tis the time of year where I am kept awake at night terrified that my next major event will fail and cost me every penny I have left to my name and be the last.

Anxiety is so much fun!!!!!

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

Hey @dbrauer.net do you have any insight on "Easy Day Cafe" opening (soon?) in the Royal Grounds spot on 42nd and Grand? Plastic was down today, they had an airpot outfront but didn't seem actually open - more a social for the neighborhood on a Sunday.

I am ANTIFAcsist. Proud of it. I love the rule of law and adherence to the constitution.

Unlike the administration.
You’re about to see a push on the right to designate a bunch of nonviolent people on the left as ANTIFA because they don’t like their rhetoric.

Dangerous times.

Anyone else in #LindenHills recently get their mains water back having issues with water pressure? That is ... no water for an hour or more at a time? This started after it was restored in August. Typically intermittent but this outage is at almost an hour. #minneapolis

Three years.

Saturday marked the start of my third year unemployed.

Thousands of applications. A few dozen screener calls. A dozen interviews.

No insurance. No home. No light at the end of the bleakest tunnel of my life.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with one of his own states.

This is completely unhinged.

I was thrilled to help fund their new building way back when, one of the best community supporting spots out there. There are many folks who are opening small coffee shops & bakeries, perhaps a turnkey turnover would be more enticing.
Butter Bakery needs a new owner, fam. One of the most socially conscious businesses in town. We mid-60s guys need to turn over the reins. Maybe this is you or someone you know? butterbakerycafe.com/blog/2025/9/...

About this Florida vaccine story:

When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.

We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.

“Oh, they’d have died.”

Hey @dbrauer.net can you pop in this thread and either viscerate my explanation or help with trying to further explain the reasoning behind the state party overriding it's party name being associated with the city chapter's nominating convention endorsement?

Anyone in South Minneapolis have a room they can rent out to a 40-something who’s been unemployed for two years, homeless/couch surfing for the last 18 months, and needs some stable space to get back on his feet?

Can absolutely contribute for it - just not able to get an apartment right now.

Hey all. Did you know I’ve been traveling the north and west this summer taking photos? Uh huh.

Posting those, and musings, over at the @d3photography.bsky.social patreon at d3photo.com/patreon

Lots yet to come as I’ve fall behind a bit. More photos will be posted there today.
