I think the bravest most important thing we can do in a city election year is to tell our friends the candidate they won't shut up about supporting isn't running a real campaign, it's all a distraction, this person just wanted to see their name in the newspaper.

The take I am most certain of that gets me in the most trouble is just "The reason homes are so expensive is because there are not enough of them, so we really really really need to build more of them."

Personally, I would love the Cowboys to hire Gruden because
1. It would be another reason to cheer against the cowboys and I am always looking for more of those, and
2. It would guarantee several more years of mediocrity for them.

There is not an obvious choice to be Dallas’ 10th head coach in franchise history.
But there are several names who could make sense, including:
◻️ Ben Johnson, Lions OC
◻️ Jon Gruden, former HC
◻️ Deion Sanders, Colorado HC

If you’re telling people things are so bad that there’s no time to talk about their hobbies and interests and little joys, it turns out you DO have time for a hobby: being an insufferable douche.

I’m higher on AI than a lot of people on the left, but this is spot on. What’s the point of a robot assistant if the can’t do the absolute most basic things to make my life easier?
My hot take on "costs of cooking vs take-out" is that you should be mad at tech companies because "prepare me a grocery list + instructions for a week of quick cost-efficient meals" is something the Earth-burning plagiarism-machine should be able to do but can't do at all, output's too unreliable.

It’s so remarkably hard to commit intentional voter fraud on any kind of scale. People can disagree with you and/or prioritize things differently than you and we’re all so diluted by the internet that it’s incomprehensible that thoughts outside our bubble exist.

Harris Voters: 53%

If you ever needed any evidence that presidential polling four years out is just a name recognition test, this should be all the evidence you need.

Acceptance of all people and their beliefs is what separates America from other nations. We can be, have been, and should be a nation that will take you in if your nation of birth does not accept you. That goes for a woman who won’t hear a covering in Iran or a woman who cannot wear hijab in France.

Amazing development in Minnesota House 40B. Republicans will start session with a narrow majority because personal ambition was more important than public service. If you’re going to bend the rules to get elected at least be competent at it.

This is the kind of thing Saint Paul needs to approve a lot more of. Adding the extra story and 14 units of apartments—with extra parking for the people that think it’s important—is an unquestioned good imo. More supply means lower costs!
With Council President Jalali's blessing and encouragement, the St. Paul City Council votes 6-1 to grant zoning appeal of Benegas Properties. A 5-story, 75-unit apartment building will replace 3 single-family rental homes at 1963 Grand Ave.: www.twincities.com/2024/12/18/b... #StPaul
