Naomi Kritzer writes a lot of very helpful opinion pieces about local politics in the twin cities. The linked article is about probably the most contested race. I'll post the other ones here in order to not spam the community.

I thought this might make a nice banner if cleaned up or artified somehow, but that's beyond my skills. As-is, I think it would zoom in weirdly and look off

I liked the laser loon flag for the banner. Only downside is that I don't know how to make it look good. Some other Lemmy comment I found says 5.9:1 is the best ratio to use, so maybe just crop it?

There's also Wat Promwachirayan up in the cities, which has a lovely Sunday market

Minnesotans tend to be polite, which results in continually leaving half of whatever bit of food is left, since we don't want to eat the last of it. Since Prince has passed away, we've taken to calling this "leaving some for Prince".

Thanks! I'll do my best, hopefully everybody will be chill and there won't be much to do 🤞

They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

keep the war going

Russia can stop this at any time by just not invading them

It's hard to spot, but Pembrose is an eyeball on the couch. It's absurdist humor - of course if someone were just an eyeball but somehow sentient, they'd probably have a lot of anger towards the world.

They don't understand the difference between belief and faith. I believe many things, but have no faith in them. I will take contrary evidence into account.

Somewhere smaller than a tiger, that would win 100% of the time. I'd guess 30 lbs is where things start to get serious
