It's only going to get worse. All the new pilots don't learn the fundamentals of navigation, emergency preparedness or radio communications. They only know how to push the "fly" and "land" buttons.

SD 59 held their convention and the biggest sub caucus was "Big Ilhan". Which led eventually to me creating Mecha-Ilhan. It's meant to be a symbol of her badass unbreakable nature.

So much so that I couldn't help but make this. I'm sorry and you're welcome.

I'm keen on Mecha-Ilhan

Evictions are far more costly than 30 extra days and it’s not close. Especially when the 30 extra days will often result in landlords getting money they’re owed from their tenants anyways.

This is maybe as close as they're going to get to a @joshmartinmpls.bsky.social endorsement.

That sauna doesn't look big enough to hold all of our soon to be evicted neighbors. Maybe you could prevent their evictions.

Most people have soul. Frey doesn't. He bulldozes homeless encampments. He doesn't care if they're evicted. Would love for him to surprise me, but somehow I already know what he's gonna do.

What's the opposite of jury nullification? We need that here.

You can pick em you can lick em you can chew em you can stick em, if you promise not to sue us you can shove one up your nose.

Only way these could be better is if they said "defund the police" on the back.

We don't. He keeps falling up because old white people think he's charming.

If we do two a day can we have single payer healthcare?

The Game - If Books Could Kill Neil Strauss's "The Game" aimed to teach any man how to hook up with beautiful women. All he needed was a little bit of sociopathy, a lot of misogyny and a fanny pack full of props.Support us on Patre...

First Wednesday hits differently when we're on the verge of nuclear war.

I wonder why Washington county republicans waste thier time chatting with a candidate for another county.

He's the mayor's bullet proof vest for accountability. He can absorb all the negative press and the mayor can take all the positive.

Depends on if Klob resigns from the Senate seat before or after being sworn in as Governor

You don't have pesky voters when you appoint them into an existing term.

Run for Senate?! I thought Amy was just going to appoint him into her own seat.

I called her because I wanted to ask about how she'd be different than Omar. And to ask about how she'd show up for trans Americans.

Don't have hard evidence, but awfully curious that I got the Minneapolis Times newsletter this morning after being nice to LaTonya on the phone last night...

Jacob Frey on TV: β€œWe just approved rental assistance that is targeted towards the people who hopefully need it most.”

Jacob Frey to Minneapolis City Council:

We'll at least get a new mayor out of the deal.

Amy wants people to know who he is when she appoints him into her Senate seat.
