Is that the location that used to have the weird spacey cowboy bar?

Abby, what is the good sports bar? I have always found Minneapolis to be kinda bad at doing sports bars

Actually one of my faculty just gave me an earful about MtG rules being non-computational and how tokens are limited in the Arena in an arbitrary but meaningful way

Sounds like I'm going to get to put together a student experience (kinda like a 1 credit course) around Video Games this Fall at the U. If you have thoughts on folks in the Twin Cities who are doing interesting work related to digital games, would love to hear about them!

I think "Pretty Pretty Daaaancing" and "You know what Panda eats? Bamboo!" are tied in my head for iconic brainworms.

$200 a barrel is misleading. You're not just paying for the container, but also the valuable crude oil inside of it.

The one that gets me is what seems like a skycam or drone tracking from the sideline, but it has this weird isometric feel.

God, that's a wrinkle in my brain that hadn't been fired up in a hot minute.

You really don't have to "hand it to 'em", but Khamenei Jr. could do more for renewable energy than any democrat in my lifetime.

Somehow, I'm confident that I'm being targeted by this post.

Faetooth is playing the 7th street entry on May 5th, the night before my birthday, and it would be fun if a bunch of people came to listen to doomy heavy music with female vocalists with me. Tickets are $20.

Screw it. It is Spring Break here at the U and I've finally done something I have always wanted to do: count all the owls at Walter Library. For the first time since the library was renovated in 2002, here is a complete count of all the owls carved, chiseled, and sculpted into the library: 1,167!
