My perception was different: a rush of enthusiasm for the process to choose the new flag, then a lot of public acclaim for the new design, including many liberals just because MN has a lot of them. I don't think anyone left-coded it, it's just that MN wingnuts can't stand to ever see any libs happy.
everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"
Wikipedia says there are 8 states, and I was surprised that only MA and ME make it official in New England! I wonder if any of those other states actually celebrate it in a way that most residents notice.
Wait, what. I lived next to NoDak for 25 years and never heard about this.
@manyquestions.bsky.social Relevant to your family interests...
Yeah weird who knows where it might’ve gone, just one of those mysteries i guess newrepublic.com/article/2092...
Dallas as a city does not deserve Jake Oettinger
It was "well known" by literally everyone in the music business, but for most of us, it was hearsay. We had no proof, and we didn't know who his victims were. What I'm saying is I believe Volpe and later Gelb did know, in a way that the rest of us didn't.
I 100% believe the leaders of the Metropolitan Opera knew that their 40-year music director James Levine was a sexual abuser, and devoted significant resources for many years to preventing this information from being published.
I’m sure some stern finger wagging will straighten them out, yeah.
“America has the greatest road network in the world … [and] includes 10 of the 25 most congested cities.“ Someone in Sean Duffy’s office is both so close and so far from getting it.
Contrast to how civilians put themselves in true danger for each other within minutes during the ICE raids these past couple months.
"While it was originally touted as a way for low-income parents to access the best educational environment for their children, the greatest benefit is to those families wealthy enough to send their children to private or religious schools or to homeschool their children."
The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”
Every time a man kills his family I am reminded how little this country cares about children. Not here, and certainly not overseas, where we're bombing schools or supporting other regimes that also bomb schools and traumatize while generations en masse
“We see use of excessive force after use of excess force". Documentary footage shows agents tear-gasssed and pepper sprayed a crowd in response to a snowball. minnesotareformer.com/2026/04/20/a...
@itsthebrandi.bsky.social new argument just dropped
We need some sort of voting drive where the objective is to cancel out the terrible votes of American hockey players. That way we can root for them with a clear conscience. Like carbon credits, but for idiot athletes.
Actually, I’ve explained this MANY TIMES
This generation of Black ppl vote MORE than any generation since we got the right to vote
But after the 1st Black was elected, WHITE PPL began turning out in historic numbers to vote for Trump. As this graph CLEARLY shows…
The “crisis” is white people.
I feel like enough time has passed to officially put this in the “dad movie hall of fame. This is the sort of thing dads will happily watch on TNT for the next twenty years
Gay surrogacy and gay adoption are predicated on the idea that gay men (or women) have a “right” to become parents. This idea is not only morally insane but also logically incoherent. It’s exactly like jumping off a building and claiming that you have the right to fly. Nobody has the right to defy the laws of nature. Where would such a right even originate? Two men cannot be parents. It’s impossible. Doesn’t matter how they feel or what they want. It cannot be. The only “right” at issue here is the right of the child. And the child has a right to be raised by a mother and a father, not two men masquerading as mother and father.
Great work to all the transphobic pickme gays because you're next on the menu
The highest compliment! Also, the shirt is from Duck Head, which I definitely learned about from him lol
Oh, absolutely
A moustache-to-chest selfie of me wearing a blue and green rugby shirt and a Harris tweed sportcoat
Rocking a slightly preppier look than my norm on this trip, apparently
Knew it
I know I should have tagged her but I feel like she’ll see it
Off-brand bus companies that definitely do NOT go to DC Union Station:
I was gonna say, this also fairly describes my orchestral career
I don’t know what that is, so my guess would be quite far
