Hey friends. I let my digital subscription expire. Does anyone have a gift link they can share?

Can confirm. One of my first jobs was as a "Maintenance Engineer" for a large retailer. It was there I learned that when it comes to public bathrooms, women are easily just as disgusting as men. #trueequality

I was a janitor in college and very quickly learned cleaning stalls that the women were not as demure as I'd imagined. #everybodypoops #andbarfs

I forgot to add "or their political affiliation" after "their gender". 🤦 It's especially surprising when it is someone with a great deal of respect doing it.

I didn't think I'd have to say this at 8:03 in the morning, but sexualizing anyone, regardless of their gender, is not OK. Stop doing it.

$30k would remove like 90% of my stress, so yes, it would be life changing.

Matt Darling@besttrousers.bsky.social

I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money. Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.

How many Scaramuccis is this?

I would fucking love it if you all would stop making me come on here and tell you to grow the fuck up. You have to fill in the box next to Klob’s name. I hate her too—probably even more than you do. But DeMuth is worse. If you do not vote for Klob, you are voting against Minnesota.

Beyond this fantastic news is the fact that we have the ability to end homelessness for all, we just don't have the will.

MPR News@mprnews.org

Minnesota officials say the state has functionally ended veteran homelessness, meaning veterans experiencing homelessness can be quickly connected with services and permanent housing. The state’s veteran homelessness count has fallen from more than 600 in 2010 to roughly 150 on its registry today.

Watching people have to remove things from thier grocery cart because they can't afford everything they selected always gets me down. This shouldn't ever happen in the "richest country" on Earth.

Update from the place we had it towed to: The estimate to begin diagnosis is NOVEMBER 17. 😩 Keeping my fingers crossed it ends up being sooner, and starting the scramble to beg, borrow, or (not) steal a car for the interim. $240/week for a rental is a no-go.

In Duluth for the weekend. This is the second time this year our car has broken down while here. Seems to be the same issue, too. 😭😡🤮

Until the left finds a candidate with the skill set needed to win state-wide, and not just the solid blue areas, we'll be stuck with centrists.

On this Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and indeed every day, I recognize that I live on land that was and is the home of Anishinaabe and Dakȟóta peoples, and that their culture and traditions and histories enrich all of us.

Can't wait for the GOP ghouls to make the rounds of the Sunday morning shows and gleefully chortle about how barbarically murdering someone on live television is a wonderful idea.

I was in Whittier today, two blocks from Karmel Mall. I didn't die, as some doughy, white, bags of shit would insist would happen. Instead, I was among wonderful human beings of many shades that make Minneapolis and Minnesota the best place in the country.

Buy printer. Printer ships. Printer arrives. Setup printer. Printer serial number does not mach order serial number. Unable to print. Printer company insists it has to be sent back. Nothing they can do. 😠

I used to think that if any President had said the annihilation of a city by a foreign adversary would be a "small price", there would be howls for their resignation from all sides. Now, I'm not so sure.

Even as a kid, the OG big biscuit Shredded Wheat and corn flakes were my favorite breakfast cereals. Yes, I was born an 82 year old man. Why do you ask?

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social

Shredded wheat is an insane concept. "Yeah I want a fucking log of hay in a box. For my breakfast." Fuck outta here. Crazy assholes.
