The two pride flags
Photo of the outside of an apartment building. One unit is hanging a traditional Pride flag 🏳️‍🌈 in their window and the unit next door hangs a Naz Reid towel.

I appreciate the anti-Frey sentiment but this is not good advice if you want him to lose.
Sticker on a light pole that says “DONT VOTE FOR FREY. DONT VOTE FOR JACOB FREY AS YOUR 1ST, 2ND OR 3RD CHOICE. YOU DONT HAVE TO FILL ALL THREE SLOTS ON YOUR BALLOT OR EVEN TWO!”

Continuing along my walk on the Greenway today, disappointed to realize this building that has been under construction is for a church and not housing. People deserve a place to worship but dammit if being directly adjacent to the Greenway isn’t a perfect place for more apartments.
Large building under construction with a sign indicating it is the future home of a church.

So do I warn my neighbor about the squirrel guts that this Cooper’s Hawk is dropping in his yard?

You know I’m loading ‘em up and baking ‘em twice
Four empty husks of russet potatoes next to two piles of bacon bits and diced green onion on a cutting board. There’s a bowl of not-finished filling, too, and you can sense things are about to go down with these taters.

We just had to unexpectedly put down our Sweet Marty Man. I loved this boy so much. This is so hard.

FWIW the previous issue was all about Trump.
Cover art for Jacobin magazine’s Fall 2024 issue. The centerpiece is a cartoonish balloon of Donald Trump. The balloon is tethered by strings held by five of his stooges who appear to strain against its weight.

Lastly, if you think (or hoped) the Strib has changed any policies or learned anything from their George Floyd reporting regarding copying verbatim from a police report…I have bad news for you
Screenshot of an email from star tribune reporter Paul Walsh stating he wrote his news brief as described by a local sheriff’s office.

Fun to get a sudden notice that I’ve been drinking lead-contaminated water for ten years! I’m sure this won’t be expensive at all.
An informational letter from the City of Minneapolis Water Treatment and Distribution Services regarding water service line materials. The letter discusses the potential presence of lead in customer-owned water service lines and household plumbing. A diagram illustrates a typical residential water service setup, labeling components such as the water service tap, water service line, stop box, meter valves, water meter, water meter reading device, and household plumbing. Components potentially containing lead are marked in red text. The diagram shows the relationship between the city water main, property line, and household plumbing layout.

I just hope everyone knows that The Lemon Twigs are the best band.

In the background, a drummer is visible. The stage is lit with colorful lights, and a small audience is seen in the foreground. A live performance featuring the same four musicians.

Took a little road trip to Madison to see Alvvays. They kicked ass.
Alvvays performs on stage, illuminated by bluish-purple lights against a shimmering backdrop, with an animated crowd watching in the foreground.
