Just a few minutes until the RCV stuff starts tabulating again if what I've read online is accurate.

My inner spreadsheet is spinning with possibilities and very curious about the 2nd ranks of a variety of voters

When I moved to Minneapolis in the mid-aughts, it was really difficult to make friends. People from other states didn’t get it.

Now the bias is front and center in my city politics. If I’m a resident who “just got here,” do I matter less to Josh?

If you're a teacher running for office and the teacher's union endorses your opponent . . .

If you're gay and OutFront MN and Stonewall DFL endorse your opponent . . .

If you were a Park Board member and Park Board members endorse your opponent . . .

. . . you're Becka Thompson.

Jane Fonda, aka Hanoi Jane, has endorsed Katie Cashman for the second election in a row. Counterpoint: Elizabeth Shaffer never would've cut and run in Vietnam.

When I'm president, I'll pay animators and artists to make a video of me as emperor puking on all of my opponents from a war machine, not use AI to do it

Cam Gordon liked my slightly snarky Nextdoor post!

Dropped the Racket piece about the funders for scaremongering centrist doc "A Precarious State," onto Nextdoor, popped a gummy and turned off my notifications before heading to the Destroyer show.

Just took out my notepad at work. Has some notes from last night's werewolf the apocalypse game, which if someone looked at, would make me look like a complete lunatic who should be dragged out of the building by security

Going to go for something chill and escapist and light for my next long-term RPG campaign

A few Dragoncon snaps (since I forgot about Bluesky while I was there)

More to come

Just called a guy a fascist on nextdoor. Maybe I can finally get kicked off the site?

Maybe today's the day for me to get kicked off of next door for bullying centrist Democrats

Just a candidate for my ward making a deranged tik tok implying that we have to give more $ (than we already have) to cops so that we don't get nationalized like DC, while quoting line and verse from a police union on the benefits of Trump's federalizing of the DC police.

Totally deranged

Home from a couple chill drinks in South Minneapolis.

Ready to do the dishes along to a gentle comedy podcast and watch a little TV before bed

As a person who is active and clumsy in an aging body, the greatest fantasy of action cinema is watching people do nutty stuff with little prep without sports doctor style injuries

Atlanta Folks:

I'll be in town 8/27-9/1 for Dragoncon. My main focus there will be hanging out with folks and photography. HMU if you need cosplay photos, etc.
